The video discusses the new features introduced in the Misslands update for the game Valheim. Players can now keep boar, wolves, and chickens as tamed pets.
To tame these animals, players need to capture them in a pen and meet certain conditions: the animal must be within a 64-meter active area, not be alerted or hungry, and the player must stay nearby. The taming process takes 600 successful ticks, which occur every three seconds, and requires 300 ticks for each of the three tameable creatures.
Chickens are a special case as they come pre-tamed from the egg. They can be bought from the merchant for 1500 coins each, but at least two are required for breeding.
Breeding works similarly to taming but requires additional considerations like the presence of a suitable partner and the number of creatures nearby. Once the required number of love points is gained, the animals will become pregnant and give birth after a certain time.
The tamed animals can be used for various purposes. Wolves can be commanded to follow or guard specific areas, locks can be ridden after crafting a saddle, and chickens can lay eggs for various food recipes. Tamed animals can also be named and petted, and their offspring will inherit some traits from their parents.
1. The misslands update in Valheim allows players to keep boar, wolves, and chickens as tamed pets.
2. To tame these animals, players need to capture them and meet certain conditions: the animal must be within a 64-meter active area, not be alerted or hungry, and the player must stay nearby.
3. The taming process begins when these conditions are met and progresses at a tick every three seconds. It requires 600 successful ticks to tame each of the three tameable creatures in the game.
4. If taming is interrupted, the progress will pause but can resume once all three conditions are met again.
5. Once tamed, these animals will join the player's faction and won't attack them or any other tamed animals.
6. Chickens in Valheim come pre-tamed straight from the egg after defeating the fifth boss, Yaglif.
7. To hatch a chicken egg, players need to drop it inside a shelter within range of a heat source, such as a campfire or hearth.
8. After 30 minutes of uninterrupted warmth, the egg will hatch, and the chick will grow up into a fully tamed chicken after 50 minutes.
9. Chickens eat barley, dandelions, and a range of seeds, including Beech, birch, carrot, turnip, and onion seeds.
10. Breeding is possible when two tamed animals of the same type meet and are not alerted, hungry, pregnant, or exceed the limit for their animal type.
11. Brooding is only possible if the creature is within the active area, not alerted and not hungry, and there is a suitable tamed partner nearby.
12. Offspring will be born after one and a half minutes for boar and wolves, and after two and a half minutes for chickens.
13. Tamed animals can be ridden in Valheim, and riding them gains the player XP towards the riding skill.
14. Chickens lay eggs that can be used to craft a number of food recipes, including the mushroom omelette.
