Cowhand’s Hut

The Cowhand’s Hut houses a worker who manages cows for milk, leather, and beef production, and can also breed cows to increase your colony’s herd.

Overview

The Cowhand cares for cows in fenced areas near the hut, collecting milk (using buckets), leather, and (if enabled) beef. The Cowhand can breed cows automatically if there’s enough wheat and space, and will request wheat for feeding.

Hut Level Max Cows Managed Products
1 8 Milk, Leather
2 16 Milk, Leather, Beef (optional)
3 32 All above + more efficient breeding
4 64 Higher output
5 128 All upgrades, faster collection

*Upgrading the hut increases the number of cows managed, unlocks beef harvesting, and improves efficiency.*
