Can we get a Chicken Farm?

[Wigbert]

Having a heck of a time trying to keep feathers in stock. Although nests seem to be plentiful.

But having to head shot zombies 15 times early game takes a toll. Good thing we can retrieve some.

Vulture spawn points are great for feather farming.

Vulture spawn points are great for feather farming.

100%, I actively search for buzzards early game.

Seems like we should be able to make a little fenced in area, grow some corn for chicken feed, catch chickens, raise chickens and harvest eggs and feathers.

Would be pretty fun to have some form of chicken coop block that you can place and put one or two chickens inside. Then just simply interacting with it can yield feathers/eggs over time. It could act as a regular loot container with a different loot respawn timer.

I feel like the main reason animal farming is not in the game is due to the idea of breeding and the large number of entities a system like that could produce (I may be way off here), but I don't think breeding is needed at all. Just something simple like a chicken coop block would be fun.

Zombie are uninterested in chickens. But you would have to fight off the wolves.

I want a rabbit trap. The fact they exist only means worthless spawns taking up space better spent on an animal you can actually see. Same with chickens.

Valmod had a chicken coop thingy also Starvation both in 16

To this end I'd like to see a chicken egg incubator where only eggs are needed and the incubator.

holds 6 looted/purchased eggs

1 full day to hatch

1 full day from chick to hen

Hens are placable icons (like bikes), but become 'unclaimed' as soon as they are placed.

Hens placed by players spawn lootable nests, on the server loot spawn setting (5 days, whatever)

Once a lootable nest is looted, the nest collapses (like the airdrop box).

Chicken can be slaughtered normally for normal loot based on perks.

Egg Incubator (can run for 1 day without power) -

Perk - Advanced Engineering 1

Living off the Land 3 - Nests have a 25% greater chance to contain eggs. +1 egg in nests that contain eggs

Living off the Land 4 - Nests have a 50% greater chance to contain eggs. +2 eggs in nests that contain eggs

Living off the Land 5 - Nests have a 75% greater chance to contain eggs. +3 eggs in nests that contain eggs

Heat Lamps, Incubator Case, Incubator Cover, Car Battery

Heat Lamps - 2 head lights, 2 mechanical parts, 4 electrical parts, 2 duct tape

Incubator Case - 25 crushed glass, 4 pipes, 10 forged iron, 2 glue

Incubator Cover - 25 polymers, 10 electrical parts, 4 mechanical parts, 2 glue

That's my idea anyway...
