Respawning Animals

Sorry if this a stupid question, but I'm still pretty new to the game and even newer to the forums. Do non-hostile animals such as chickens, hogs, or sheep respawn after you've killed them all? Or did I just ruin my chances of starting a livestock farm? Pic unrelated, just the current base I'm working on.

To my experience, animals will respawn; and as Tyron mentioned it will take quite a while for the non-aggressive ones to respawn.  You may want to... encourage some livestock animals to >ahem< follow you home by plugging them with a rock and running.  Unless it's chickens.  They'll run away from you so you just gotta chase them home.

Tyron said "All animals respawn. Some (e.g. boar, chicken and bighorn sheep) respawn veeeery slowly however." That was posted Dec 5, 2020, but I think it still is valid.

Thanks! That's a relief.

Now good luck with herding them in a pen.. Also if you are interested in causal game play, with roleplaying and creative style building, contact me on discord R3dOrch1d. Red Autumn Server is always looking for players to do animal husbandry.

Appreciate it. Will do!

If livestock are chasing you, it's easy.  Set the pen up first with a dirt "ramp" that tops the fenced pen.  Run into the pen, then through the gate on the opposite side, turn and close gate.  Presto! caged animals for breeding.
