Alpaca

Alpacas are easily tameable herbivores with a medium movement speed. An alpaca will increase the carrying capacity of any caravan it's part of by 35 kg. While it noticeably has the worst carrying capacity of any pack animal (less than half average), it's quite easy to tame and produces wool.

Obtaining

Alpacas can be found in temperate forests, temperate swamps, tropical rainforests, and tropical swamps. They can either be tamed by a handler or self-tame in a random event.

Alpacas can be bought and sold in other faction bases and from bulk goods traders. Alpacas purchased from traders will be already tamed.

Production

Alpacas can be sheared by animal handlers once every 10 days, giving 45 pieces of alpaca wool worth 171 silver. The ease of maintaining alpacas makes it a cheap source of decent quality wool for your colony.

See animal products for more details on how much each type of animal produces.
