Collecting Warm, Temperate, and Cold Livestock Variants

Because livestock look different depending on where they spawn, building a varied ranch requires scouting across multiple climate zones.

Locate Warm, Temperate, and Cold Biomes

Each farm species follows specific regional rules when spawning:

• Cows, Pigs, and Chickens: Feature four different looks based on warm, temperate, or cold biomes. Search standard plains and forests for temperate animals, snowy taigas or tundras for cold ones, and savannas, jungles, or deserts for warm variants.
• Sheep: Change into two unique variants depending on whether they live in warm or cold areas. Compare sheep found in hot climates against those in freezing regions to collect both designs.

Bring Variants Back to Your Farm

You can gather animals from different climates into a single base using standard vanilla transport methods.

1. Craft several Leads or Boats before leaving your base.

2. Travel to a target warm, temperate, or cold biome and inspect naturally spawned herds to pick out different coat colors, ears, and pig tusks.

3. Place your chosen livestock into boats to row across water, or pull them overland with leads back to your main homestead.

4. Guide each regional variant into fenced pens so you can display all climate styles together on one farm.
