Crafting Saddles and Treats for Taming

Saddle Types

Saddles are grouped by creature family. Each one is a distinct item, so check which family you are dealing with before crafting:

Aberration Saddle
Amphibian Saddle
Anthronian Saddle
Aquatic Saddle
Arachnid Saddle
Avian Saddle
Beast Saddle
Demon Saddle

Treat Types

Treats follow the same family split and are used to build trust before you saddle a creature:

Aberration Treat
Amphibian Treat
Anthronian Treat
Aquatic Treat
Arachnid Treat
Avian Treat
Beast Treat
Demon Treat

Progression Logic

Treats come first. Feed the matching Treat to a creature of that family to raise its trust; only then does the matching Saddle become useful. A Beast Saddle will not help you with an Avian creature, and an Aquatic Treat will not pacify a Demon. Match the family name exactly.

Both saddles and treats are made through the mod's crafting_shaped and crafting_shapeless recipes. Gather the ingredients for the family you are targeting rather than crafting one of everything — the recipes are family-specific, so surplus saddles for the wrong family are dead weight. Carry a few extra treats on taming trips; trust building can take more than one feeding.
