I think a lot of players will just carry LCB + Chicken Coop with them on expeditions so they can catch wild chickens and convert them into domesticated ones right where they find them, then head back to base with a vehicle full of chickens huh

Which defeats the purpose of having a minigame at all. If it is that easy to cheese it and most people will do that once they know about it, then why have any minigame? Just let us build a crate to put them in for carrying them and call it good. Why have mechanics that people don't want to use after trying them once?

Needless to say that I have no interest in the chicken coop at all and think it's a waste of time. But since I don't have to use it, I don't care that it's there or how it works or how bad the minigame is or how bad I think it looks. It doesn't matter to me. But I'm still giving my feedback.

Well, I when we saw the blueprint for the chicken coop that I thought it was a weird idea. Now that I've seen it, I see I was right... it looks ridiculous. For those who like it, that's fine. But I think it's pretty awful looking. And now I have a red light shining through the wall of my base. Yay.

And then there's the minigame... chickens are uncommon enough that the chances of finding one close to your base is somewhat low. So you're stuck doing a minigame across long distances on the map. So much fun.... And you almost need the tracking perk just to make it even worth trying to catch chickens for it or else you just don't bother trying to get chickens for it and when you happen to find one and it's not halfway across the map since the minigame is going to be annoying over any large distances (and probably short), only then do you bother trying to catch one.

About the only thing I see any use (for me) is the chicken nuggets because they are low resource to make and actually make corn meal worth something and that doesn't require the coops.

In any case, they are fine for people who need a lot of eggs or feathers. For me, eggs and feathers aren't needed after the first few days. I don't care that they were added, but they are even less useful than apiaries.

I agree, I don't feel the art style of the coop fits the game very well it just looks goofy... Wish it looked more like a realistic style coop...and the dropping the chicken from stress brings a zombie horde...what??? Makes no sense whose idea was that? At least we can turn it off...But I love the idea of the coop and the mods slots for it.
 
Few notes

Chickens are fun to catch
The Chicken is kinda a coward tho he just keeps screaming when i walk
The new settings are great

The ash Chicken, wings and stripes kinda look AI Gen and I'm not a fan imo I'll get it slide sense it's experimental but I hope it's not final 😅

I'm curious to know how much they "nerfed" (for a lack of a better term) the behavior of chickens...but, I guess I'll get to see for myself in a few days...hopefully.
 
I haven't triggered chicken stress once yet. I just crouch walk everywhere with my chicken and sprint until it hits 40%, then go back to crouch walking. Downside is staring at that face the whole time :ROFLMAO:
 
I kind glad Fun Pimps took into consideration about Apiary and honey-based food complaints, and made Chicken Coop available early and each chicken-based food an unique buff, but I wish they do the same for Apiary by making them available early and give each honey-based food an unique buff as well.

The outfits look amazing, and they also look great on the characters! I just hope winter and casual outfits will be included in the base game instead of being sold as paid DLCs, tho

100% agree on everything else from your post, I really wish devs will remove ai slop icons and find some solution to balance the LCB+Chicken Coop combination

True, the apiary becomes almost useless the moment you unlock it. I think it should probably unlock around the same time as the chicken coop — it will still be difficult to obtain anyway because it requires beeswax. You will make use of honey to cure infections in the early-mid game, and then, once you mass-produce antibiotics, you will use honey to craft late-game foods.

Yeah, the items and recipes weren't in yet, but the localization for the foods were already added to the levels of food crafting. So you'd see it tell you that you unlock chicken foods, but they weren't actually unlocked.
 
I do have some feedback. just some feedback with chicken feed

I think there should be a few versions of the recipe like like one other (corn, corn, golden, cryth, yuca, and maybe meat) plus rotting flesh because chickens are no picky at all he'll! They will each chicken. They evil they got no souls but taste good and make eggs! Tldr: more ways to feed those birds 🐦

(Also kinda weird there's no roosters but they can breed with the broodbox, these GMO chickens are something but that's a nitpick)

My new favorite thing Is collecting chickens and putting them in a small room like a bathroom and keeping them alive to eat! Or to store in the coop!

I really really hope we get something like this for pigs!
