Description

A small house where female chickens are kept safe and secure.

Used to store and feed chicken(s), and collect eggs.

Coops contain multiple sub items inside.

  • Nesting Box, This is where the loaded hens reside.
  • Feeder, this is where you place food.
  • Drinker, this is where you place water.
  • Egg Box, this is where you get the eggs from when they are laid.

Usage

  • You can only load hens into the coop.
  • To load a hen, one must first lead one, then right click the coop and click "load creature".
  • To be able to load the creature there must be water in the drinker and food in the feeder.
  • Loadable chicken count is QL / 10 + rarity (max 13 for 100ql fantastic). QL must be greater than or equal to 10 to load a chicken.

Feeding and watering

  • You can only put food in the feeder that can be planted in the ground. Example: pumpkin seed, or corn. Herbs seeds cannot be put in the feeder.
  • Polling for the feeder and drinker happens every 4 hours at which time, creature count in food is subtracted from the feeder.

E.g. if there are 4 hens loaded 4 food will be subtracted. Also 250 grams of water for each hen will be subtracted from the drinker.
