Editing Sheep

'''Sheep''' are one of three animal types that can be raised on a [[Field]] in [[Main Page|Project Rebearth]]. Sheep fields produce both {{Icon|Food}} and {{Icon|Wool}}, making them a key part of the {{Icon|Clothes}} production chain.

== Overview ==

A sheep field produces '''0.005''' {{Icon|Food}} and '''0.005''' {{Icon|Wool}} per m² per day. At 1 hectare (10,000 m²), this amounts to '''50''' {{Icon|Food}} and '''50''' {{Icon|Wool}} per day. Sheep fields require '''0.0006''' workers per m², meaning a 1-hectare field needs '''6''' workers, the same as a [[Cow]] field but more than a [[Goat]] field (which requires only '''4''' workers per hectare).

Like all fields, sheep fields are polygon-type buildings drawn directly on the map. Construction costs '''0.01''' of the biome's primary resource per m²: {{Icon|Wood}} in the [[Wood Biome]], {{Icon|Stone}} in the [[Stone Biome]], and {{Icon|Earth}} in the [[Earth Biome]]. A 1-hectare sheep field therefore costs '''100''' of the biome resource. Sheep fields are not available in the [[Arctic Biome]].

Fields cannot overlap with other [[Field]]s, [[Quarry|Quarries]], or [[Claypit|Claypits]] and must maintain a minimum distance of 1 meter from them.

== Unlocking ==

Sheep are the second animal type to become available. They are unlocked when a settlement's total [[Expeditions|explored area]] reaches '''10 hectares''' (100,000 m²). When the threshold is reached, a notification event informs the player that sheep have been discovered and are now available as a field type.

== Production Chain ==

{{Icon|Wool}} produced by sheep fields is the sole source of raw material for the [[Tailor]], which converts {{Icon|Wool}} into {{Icon|Clothes}} at a rate of -50 {{Icon|Wool}} / +50 {{Icon|Clothes}} per day. {{Icon|Clothes}} can then be sold at [[Market Stall 5]] for {{Icon|Coin}}, or traded via the [[Market]] or [[Port]].

The {{Icon|Food}} produced by sheep fields is consumed directly by the population and does not require further processing.

== Comparison with Other Animal Types ==

|}

Sheep produce equal amounts of {{Icon|Food}} and {{Icon|Wool}} and share the same worker cost as cows. Goats produce double the {{Icon|Milk}} of cows with fewer workers, but cows produce double the {{Icon|Food}} of sheep and goats. Sheep are the only animal type that produces {{Icon|Wool}}, making them essential for any {{Icon|Clothes}} production.

== Affected By ==

The [[Vegan Society]] choice disables all animal field types, including sheep. While active, existing animal fields cannot produce and new ones cannot be set to animal types. Vegan Society provides a +20% bonus to {{Icon|Food}} production in exchange.

The [[Intensive Farming]] choice unlocks the Maize crop type but does not directly affect sheep fields.
