How to Craft Goat Food Bait
Goat Food Bait is made with the Farmer, under RESOURCES (BAITS) in the FARMER tab. Its requirements are the Farmer and Sheltered Bed (shown with a check mark under the Farmer), and one craft uses 1 Honey, 3 Plant Fiber and 1 Corncob to make 10.
In our playthrough, we crafted it once, and the objective changed to Find, Feed And Tame A Goat when we closed the conversation, with QUEST UPDATED and a Goat Food Bait ×10 notice.
How to Find and Tame a Goat
The description of Goat Food Bait says it can be given to both Common Goats and Frizzy Goats. It tells you to approach the animal carefully while sneaking, throw the bait near it, pet it while it is feeding, and repeat the process until it is docile. Once tame, the animal can be picked up.
With the bait in hand, a TAMING ANIMALS guide appears. At 1/4, it tells you to sneak towards an animal and throw the bait in front of it. At 2/4, it tells you to sneak closer and pet the animal while it eats, to pause when a ? appears and to back off when a ! appears. At 4/4, it shows Success! and tells you to pick the animal up and bring it back home.
In our playthrough, the goat showed a red ! and moved away before we threw any bait. We threw 2 baits in total for this goat.
In our playthrough, the prompt E Pet appeared when we got close behind the goat while it was eating, and the guide moved to 4/4 Success! after we petted it.
After taming, E Pet and E Pick up appear. Picking the goat up changes the objective to Place The Farming Animal In Your Base, and RECIPE UNLOCKED! Goat Food (+1 more) at Farmer appears.
In our playthrough, we found goats on grassy slopes not far from our base during the day.
How to Place the Goat at Your Base
Once picked up, the goat goes into your backpack as a Common Goat, listed as a Farm Animal. Its description says it can supply you with fresh milk.
Move the goat from your backpack to your action bar and select it to show placement controls such as Rotate 90°. In our playthrough, placing it on the grass at our base changed the objective to Craft A Farming Animal Feeder And Bed.
How to Craft the Goat Feeder and Farm Animal Pillow
The Goat Feeder and the Farm Animal Pillow are both furniture made with the Farmer. The Goat Feeder needs 7 Wood Logs and 2 Nails (Nails are made at the Blacksmith), and the Farm Animal Pillow needs 3 Twigs and 5 Plant Fiber.
In our playthrough, we crafted one of each, and QUEST COMPLETED! Animal Farming appeared when we closed the conversation, before we placed either of them. At the same time, the tracker switched to another quest's objective, Acquire Happy Villagers And Upgrade The Flame.
