Summary
- Craft Feed Bags at the Farmer’s Workbench using vegetables, fruits, wheat, and essence of life.
- This tool prevents smaller animals from running away and displays hearts above their heads when held.
- Spend time in an enclosure with a Feed Bag to semi-tamed animals and make them tolerable of your presence.
Among the essential farming tools in Hytale is the Feed Bag. This is designed to help you interact with animals and build your own homestead. Although they are still developing the animal taming system in early access, you can use the Feed Bag to make animals obedient. So, here’s how you can craft a Feed Bag in Hytale and how you can use it.
What Is the Feed Bag in Hytale?
This serves as Hytale’s primary animal interaction tool that allows you to approach wildlife without triggering their flight response. After equipping, the item prevents smaller prey animals from fleeing away. At most times, these creatures scramble away the moment they detect your presence.
Also, the feed bag becomes important while trying to establish a functional farm or collecting specific animals for your enclosure. Currently, its functionality appears limited during the early access state. Still, it remains accessible for anyone that wants to create their dream farm.
How to Craft a Feed Bag
Before you can create a Feed Bag, you have to gain access to a Farmer’s Workbench and resources first. Start by gathering the following materials across the Hytale’s world such as:
-
- 5 any type of Vegetables
- 5 any variety of Fruits
- 10 Essence of Life
Don’t worry as these materials are common throughout the game world which also makes Feed Bag extremely accessible. You can farm Wheat at your base by tilling ground and planting Wheat seeds. Craft it at the Farmer’s Workbench by using Essences of Life.
Then, find Vegetables and Fruits while exploring or growing from seeds in your own garden. You can usually get Essence of Life drops from harvesting various crops and plants.
Using the Feed Bag to Approach Animals
After crafting the Feed Bag, equip it in your hand and begin approaching wild animals. It usually works effectively on younger or smaller creatures like chicks, rabbits, piglets, and other baby animals. Just hold the Feed Bag near compatible animals and wait until hearts appear above their heads.
This indicates that they are responding to your presence. Currently, the Feed Bag only prevents smaller animals from running away while it is equipped. So, you will have the opportunity to interact with them or guide them toward your enclosure. In the meantime, they have not fully developed the luring mechanic yet as the bag doesn’t appear to make them actively follow you.
Taming Animals With the Feed Bag
Beyond preventing animals from fleeing, the Feed Bag also helps in the taming process. Once you capture the animals and place them in an enclosure, leave a Feed Bag inside with them for one in-game day. This will initiate the taming process until the animals display heart icons to indicate semi-tamed status.
However, manage your expectations when using this mechanic. The semi-tamed animals won’t follow you around or even begin breeding as the features haven’t been implemented. Instead, it will just prevent the animals from panicking and fleeing after entering the enclosure.
Conclusion
Use the Feed Bag in Hytale to tame the small animals and prevent them from escaping. These are easily craftable as the materials are widely accessible across the game world. As the game is still in the early access phase, there might be changes or additions to the feature before the launch.
