Ranch
From Elona Wiki
Base cost: 80,000 gp
Maintenance cost: 1000(?) gp/month
The ranch is a place that generates creatures and resources. By assigning one of your pets as a breeder, you can create more creatures of the same type. The creatures will also periodically create milk, eggs, shit, and other things that you can sell in a shop for a profit.

[edit] Creature breeding
A creature living at the ranch will, over time, create more creatures of the same type. You may use this to your advantage by interacting with a creature to make it join you. Once it has joined you, you can use it as a traveling companion, for gene engineering, or even for profit by selling it to the slave master in Derphy.
Creatures will not always create more of themselves. Sometimes they will produce other types of creatures. For example breeding a Younger Sister will result in a random creature, rather than another younger sister, about half the time.
The general rule seems to be, the higher level of the breeding creature, the slower the rate of reproduction. For a complete list of creature breeding power, see the breed list.
[edit] Slaughter
You may also slaughter a creature in the ranch by attacking it. If you do, its chance of dropping a corpse is much higher. Be aware, however, that by doing so nearby creatures will also turn on you and attack you. Your breeder will assist you in taking them down as well, however.
[edit] Dryrock
You may drop a fresh corpse on any of the ranch's dryrocks (at the southeast corner) to make jerky. Jerkies are excellent to bring to dungeons for food as they have an extremely long shelf life. You may bring in corpses from other locations (such as dungeons) to make jerky. Corpses can be put inside a cooler box to prevent them from decaying. You can get one from completing the Puppy's Cave quest.
[edit] Farms and Ranches
Farms and ranches work well together:
- Any corpse you allow to rot may generate a seed for a farm given if you worship the god Kumiromi of Harvest.
- You can slaughter creatures at the ranch to make corpses for seed generation.
