Warpkitty Posted July 31, 2025 Report Posted July 31, 2025 Hi everyone, This might have been clarified previously but I have not seen a post so here's my question. Tyron says: "Place a saddle on it and "saddle break" it once per day for several days to get a fully tamed elk" The tool tip when I mouse over my semi-tamed elk says "19 saddle breaks required every 1 days to fully tame". I started to break him in a few days ago so the # of saddle breaks is going down, but I would like to know the game mechanic a little better. Does anyone know? PS I couldn't find any elk on my maps (I've played pre-1, pre-2, pre-3, an rc-1) and I also made test maps and flew around using block overlay but still couldn't find any. So I created a few elks and some calves and setup the reinforced traps, but even though I was able to coral one into a large non-escapable area, the little fellow wouldn't take the bait. So, I made a calve and stuck him in the barn and he grew up in a couple of days and here we are!
Maelstrom Posted August 1, 2025 Report Posted August 1, 2025 Based on Tyron's tool-tip - just spend some time every day. After the listed number reaches 0 I would expect your elk will be tamed which is probably more accurate to say saddle broken since it's already tame because it will let you put a saddle on it.

Yes that's what I'm doing. The counter started at 24 and then went down to 23 after 1 day of riding him 24 times., The next day it went to 19, then it went back up to 23 the following day! I get a little beat up riding him but that's to be expected. I'm confused by the wording though. If I ride him 19 times in one day, one would expect the next day to be 18, not jump back to 23! So that's why I was curious about the mechanic. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong.
Maelstrom Posted August 1, 2025 Report Posted August 1, 2025 I suspect that it's best to ride once a day. Riding multiple times a day may have... buggy results. Mind you I'm speculating as I haven't updated to 1.21 yet.
Solution Warpkitty Posted August 2, 2025 Author Solution Report Posted August 2, 2025 (edited) Thanks for the tip. I've tried just riding once per day, but the counter is still moving up and down ... almost randomly. I will do some more experiments and post any solution. It could just be because I'm on rc-1. Edit: It's bugged in rc-1. The counter will not consistently go down. Now it could very well be because of a mod or something I've done. Edited August 3, 2025 by Warpkitty
