Pigpen
This is another building, where you can move a specific breed of your pets to. These are pigs of course, while Pig Pen it's nothing else like typical pigsty. You can buy it when you reach the 16th experience level. It can be found at the Market - construction framework costs 5,000 coins. You must built the rest on your own, and you need the following materials:
- 8 Bricks
- 8 Nails
- 8 Wooden Boards
As you can see the number of required materials is less than for the other structures, such as stable. And as always you can get them from your friends as gifts or just buy them with Farm Cash.
You can breed all pig kinds in your pigpen, even strawberry or party pigs. There is a place for 20 of them inside and you have to feed them good before they start searching for precious truffles.
In the lower left corner of your pigpen you can see a Slop amount. Pigs love to eat it but at the beginning you do not have anything for them. This can be changed very quickly though. Just click Make Slop, which will take you to the bushels screen. They are just perfect for breeding animals but you should take those least useful or those which you have many. You can create up to 10 slop portions.
When you have enough slop (one portion for one pig), you can send your pigs to play in the mud. Click desired pig and select Hunt option. One moment later you will be informed if they found anything. If so, the truffles will subsidize ... your neighbor's account while your pigs hunt on foreign farms. Now you have to count on your friend's good will and wait for a gift.
After the search is over (whether successful or not), your pigs will go back to the pigpen. They have to rest before next search and if you want to check when they are ready, just click the curtain (on the left).
Generally, you may come across four types of truffles - brown (most common), black, white and gold (rare). The truffles' color depends primarily on pig species which you have in your pigpen. Every truffle can be exchanged for a reward. That can be another piglet, fuel or coins.
If you want to remove a pig out of your pigpen, just click Remove Pig. The same option is available when you click the curtain.
