+ | Tame '''grazing''' animals (those with the {{token|STANDARD_GRAZER}} token) require a constant source of [[grass]] or cave moss to survive. [[Pasture]]s are currently the easiest such source, however care must be taken to ensure that the pasture is large enough to provide food for all the assigned animals (and any auto-assigned babies). | ||

− | For custom creatures, you could also set the value directly with the {{token|GRAZER|cr|<value>}} token. In either case, this is an inverse number - the GRAZER value signifies how much hunger is reduced when eating a unit of grass. (Hunger increases every tick; a creature dies when it reaches 100,000). A creature with ten times the grazer value needs one tenth the amount of grass (and hence, pasture land) as a creature with a small grazer value | + | For custom creatures, you could also set the value directly with the {{token|GRAZER|cr|<value>}} token.

A creature with ten times the grazer value needs one tenth the amount of grass (and hence, pasture land) as a creature with a small grazer value. If you started your fortress in an undead biome, you may need to assign more space for a pasture as much of the grass is dead. Animals will not eat dead grass and will only eat the still living patches. |

Creatures with larger sizes consume more grass, but also produce more meat when [[butcher]]ed. |
+ | If grazing animals consume all the grass on a tile, the tile will be reverted to the base layer material. This may be [[sand]], [[clay]] or [[soil]]. In this way you receive a visual clue as to the size of the pasture required. | ||

Take the following numbers with a grain of salt; they ignore the differing abilities of various biomes to replenish grass and are instead based on a rule of thumb that 20000=Grazer*Required_tiles. Usually you can get along with way smaller pastures. Nevertheless, a fairly large herd can cause overgrazing fast, so keep an eye out for hungry animals and desolate [[grass]]less pastures. | Take the following numbers with a grain of salt; they ignore the differing abilities of various biomes to replenish grass and are instead based on a rule of thumb that 20000=Grazer*Required_tiles.
