Pastures are a feature that was released with version 0.31.19 and are [[activity zone]]s that the player creates to hold tame animals, especially grazing animals. Herbivorous animals now require [[grass]], cave moss or floor fungus to graze upon, and larger herbivores require a greater amount of grass to feed themselves. Some [[Panda|animals]] require special dietary needs (bamboo etc) rather than grass to graze. Using pastures allows herbivorous animals to be restricted to areas that they will have access to graze. | Pastures are a feature that was released with version 0.31.19 and are [[activity zone]]s that the player creates to hold tame animals, especially grazing animals.

| − | A pasture is | + | A pasture is def{{K|i}}ned using {{K|i}}-{{K|n}} to draw a rectangle, and then animals are selected to graze. Having pressed {{K|i}} to define a zone, highlight the pasture and press {{K|N}} ({{K|Shift}}+{{K|n}}), select the animal(s) you wish to pasture using {{K|+}}/{{K|-}} and pressing {{K|Enter}}. Once all animals are selected, finish by pressing {{K|Esc}} and idle dwarves with [[animal hauling]] will lead the animals to pasture. |
Any tame animal may be assigned to a pasture. You can also assign pastures inside and use them to put animals that do not need to eat in certain areas. If there is fungus or moss on your indoor floors the animals will consume that in place of grass. | Any tame animal may be assigned to a pasture.
