Well, you see, feeding a bear in RimWorld ain’t that hard once you get the hang of it. Bears, like them big ol’ grizzly ones, sure do eat a lot. If you got a tamed bear, you need to make sure it’s got enough grub to keep it happy and healthy, or else it might get grumpy. So, let me tell ya how to go about it, step by step, in a way that’s easy to understand.
First thing you gotta know is how much food that bear’s gonna need. A grizzly bear, if it’s fed the right way, needs about 0.56 nutrition a day. Now, that sounds like a lot, but it’s just how it is with them big animals. If you feed ’em simple meals, they’ll eat one a day, but they waste some nutrition with that. They’re wasting about 0.34 nutrition per meal, so you might want to be careful with how much you feed ’em. It’s better to feed ’em something more suited to their needs, like kibble, ’cause with kibble, they’re only wasting about 0.04 nutrition. That’s way better, right?
Now, you ain’t gotta feed ’em all the time if you’re in the growing season. If your pen’s big enough and you got some food growing, they can graze on that. But, it’s always good to keep some kibble or harvested hay around just in case. If you’re in the middle of winter and your animals ain’t got nothing to eat, you’ll need to make sure they got something stocked up. Bears ain’t like your chickens or rabbits that can just peck around and find food. They need a steady supply, or they’ll go hungry.
What kind of food should you give ’em? Well, bears are carnivores, ain’t they? They love meat, but they ain’t too picky. You can give ’em stuff like rabbit meat, salmon, or chicken. You can also give ’em cow legs or deer legs for the bones. If you got a big ol’ butcher shop, you could feed ’em ground meat from cows or even deer. Just make sure it’s got enough meat and bone to keep ’em strong. And don’t forget, bears can also eat fruit, but don’t be giving ’em fruit all the time—no more than 50% of their diet should be fruit. They need that good, hearty meat to stay strong!
Now, you might wonder, can I just feed ’em directly? Well, in RimWorld, you can’t just hand feed animals like you do with your colonists. Nah, you gotta create a stockpile or a shelf in the animal pen where the food can be stored. Once it’s in there, your colonists will haul the food over for the bear to munch on. The bear won’t go hungry if you keep that stockpile full. They’ll eat everything you put in there, so make sure it’s good stuff!
Setting up a barn for your animals might be a good idea if you got a lot of them. Bears ain’t small, and they need a lot of room to roam. If you’re in a place where food is hard to come by, it might be best to build a barn or a designated area just for your animals. That way, you can make sure they got enough to eat, especially in the colder months when food’s scarce. If you’re growing crops, you could even throw some hay in there for ’em to munch on. A little bit of planning goes a long way!
Feeding a bear might seem tricky, but it’s really not that bad. Just make sure you got the right food, keep an eye on their nutrition, and set up a nice little stockpile. Bears are strong, but they need their food to stay that way. With the right care, your bear will be healthy and ready to help you out in all your RimWorld adventures!
