GFSN WIKI - ANIMALS
ANIMALS are a core component of farming life and here at GFSN we believe in realism. Players are required to transport purchased animals themselves, both when buying and selling to the animal dealer(with the exception of Chickens). Players caught having animals delivered by the dealer can be fined up to 50K by the DOT for each alleged instance.
Players should also endeavor to keep their animals in good health by tending to their needs and by being sure to pick up all pallets produced at animal barns daily, so other players on the server do not get annoyed by the constant "pallets full message" caused by a player neglecting his animal barns. Failure to police the pallets can result in daily fines which can become expensive and prohibitive.
Please DO NOT BUILD if you don't have the time to devote to taking care of your animals !
Buying your first animal barn. You will find that we make it easy by offering only tested and approved animal barns for sale in our system. With our trade up system, you can start small and then when you grow, you can trade in your animal barn for a bigger unit and keep trading up to the very best barn with relative ease. All animal barns are listed with stats in the webstore so that you can guage how much feed your going to need and exactly how long it will last. Simply click the "?" in the webstore to see all of the details for this pen.
Once you have placed your new barn it is off to the animal dealer with your animal trailer in tow to pick up your first animals. Keep track of how much your animals cost and be sure to pay by going to the PURCHASES tab on your menu and selecting ANIMALS and then entering in the amount and what type animal you purchased. When selling animals from your barn, rememeber that you MUST HAUL THEM MANUALLY to the animal dealer and sell them. These animals MUST BE IN 100% Health or you are not allowed to sell them.
BARN LIMITS There are no animal barn limits. But each animal barn will use up slots from your player account, so keep that in mind. Players MUST PICK UP THEIR BARN OUTPUTS DAILY and are not allowed to them to go unattended for days without picking up pallets daily from the barns, so as not to annoy other players on the server. Any player found to be not complying in good faith could loose their animal privs after the 3rd complaint by other players sharing the map. .
THE SLAUGHTER HOUSE Animals are also a core component of the dinner plate and turning bessie into a pallet of steaks or arnold into a pallet of ribs and bacon can be quite profitable for those who know the ins and outs of the meat business. We have a few simple rules that you must follow when using a slaughter house even if you own it.
Players can export their animals to the E-silo where they can be sold to other players and slaughter houses, only if they are in 100 % health and are adult's that are fully grown.
1 - You must have produced the animal that you are selling or slaughtering. You cannot purchase an animal and have it slaughtered as that is against our rules.
2 - The animal MUST BE AN ADULT in 100% health to be eligible for slaughter. There are no exceptions to this rule.
3 - Animals may not be held in E-silos permanently. Esilo transport is just that, moving living animals from one server to another and the receiving player must take delivery within 24 hours of notification.
