Goat: Difference between revisions

Goat fields are one of three animal types that can be raised on a Field in Project Rebearth. Goat fields produce both Food and Milk, and are the most worker-efficient animal type with the highest Milk output.

Overview

A goat field produces 0.005 Food and 0.01 Milk per m² per day. At 1 hectare (10,000 m²), this amounts to 50 Food and 100 Milk per day. Goat fields require only 0.0004 workers per m², meaning a 1-hectare field needs just 4 workers, fewer than both Sheep and Cow fields, which each require 6 workers per hectare.

Goats are the most Milk-efficient animal type, producing double the Milk of cows (+0.01 vs +0.005 per m²/day). Their Food output matches sheep at +0.005 per m²/day, which is half that of cows. Combined with their low worker requirement, goats offer the best ratio of total output per worker of any animal type.

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

Fields cannot overlap with other Fields, Quarries, or Claypits and must maintain a minimum distance of 1 meter from them.

Unlocking

Goats are the first animal type to become available. They are unlocked when a settlement's total explored area reaches 1 hectare (10,000 m²). When the threshold is reached, a notification event informs the player that goats have been discovered and are now available as a field type.

Production chain

Milk produced by goat fields can be processed at the Creamery, which converts Milk into Food at a rate of -50 Milk / +50 Food per day. A 1-hectare goat field produces 100 Milk per day, enough to supply 2 Creameries. This yields an additional 100 Food per day from processing, for a combined total of 150 Food per day (50 direct + 100 from Creameries), making goats paired with Creameries one of the highest total Food yields per hectare among animal types.

The Food produced directly by goat fields is consumed by the population and does not require further processing.

Comparison with other animal types

Type	Food /m²/day	Secondary /m²/day	Workers /m²	Workers /ha	Unlock threshold
Goat	+0.005	Milk: +0.01	0.0004	4	1 ha explored
Sheep	+0.005	Wool: +0.005	0.0006	6	10 ha explored
Cow	+0.01	Milk: +0.005	0.0006	6	100 ha explored

Goats produce the most Milk and require the fewest workers, making them the best choice for Milk-focused production and settlements with limited population. Cows produce double the direct Food but half the Milk with more workers. Sheep are the only animal type that produces Wool, which is needed for the Tailor to make Clothes.

When factoring in Creamery processing, goats yield the highest total Food per worker: 1 hectare of goats (4 workers) plus 2 Creameries (10 workers) produces 150 Food/day with 14 total workers. By comparison, 1 hectare of cows (6 workers) plus 1 Creamery (5 workers) produces 150 Food/day with 11 total workers, making cows more worker-efficient when the full production chain is considered.

Affected by

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

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