Animal Caretaker

Features

Hire a caretaker, per husbandry

• Take out a contract of 1, 3, 6, or 12 months.

• Longer contracts earn a loyalty discount on feed prices (up to -15%).

• Contracts count down monthly and warn you when they expire.

Automatic care

• Keeps food topped up with your chosen ration.

• Tops up straw bedding (where the husbandry supports it).

• Empties manure, slurry, and straw-manure to your nearest owned storage.

• Pulls feed and straw from your own silos first (free) — only buys the shortfall at market rate.

Refill control

• Per-husbandry "Refill At" threshold — 25%, 50%, 75% or 100%.

• A guaranteed monthly refill, plus an early top-up the moment a store drops below your threshold.

Per-husbandry settings

• Food Type — pick the ration, restricted to what that animal actually eats.

• Straw — toggle bedding on/off (shows N/A for husbandries with no straw).

• Contract length and Refill level.

• Copy to All — apply your contract length across every husbandry at once.

Two-page dialog

• Manage — edit every husbandry's settings.

• Financials — read-only overview: contract countdowns, per-pen costs, and a grand-total row for food, straw, labour and active contracts.

Billing

• Food & straw charged once a month unless they drop below your desired threshold.

• Labour fee charged once per month.

Languages: English, German, French.
