Dogs
A dog follows you, fights what attacks you, barks when the dead come close and grows stronger with every kill. Seven breeds: Shepherd, Husky, Black and Tan, Farm Collie, Black Lab, Wolfhound and Mutt.
How it works
- Learn the Kennel node (HOMESTEAD, after Animal Husbandry). Build a Kennel at the workbench.
- Buy a Puppy Crate at the Kennel for Dukes and raw meat, hold it and use it where the puppy should come out. Puppies grow up in 2 days.
- Or tame a stray: strays roam the wilds now and then. Feed it meat three times, an hour apart, and it is yours.
- Look at your dog for its card: name, breed, level, health, hunger and its order.
- Use the interact key on your dog for its orders: Follow, Stay (it sits), Guard (it holds the spot and fights anything near it), Pet, Rename.
- Hold its food (bones, meat, Dog Food, Dog Treats, canned dog food) and press the interact key to feed it. Fed dogs heal.
Tips
- A growl means the dead are coming; a bark means they are close. Guarding dogs listen further out.
- Every few kills it gains a level: more health, a harder bite (level 10 at 150 kills).
- A Dog Treat heals a lot and gives a stronger bite for half an hour. Petting gives you the Good Dog buff.
- Unfed for 3 days, a dog runs off and has to be tamed again. Far behind? It catches up when you stop.
- Only the owner gives orders. You and your party cannot hurt your dog.
