Breeding and birth
Each birth is a chance for better traits.
Conditions
- An active she-camel of 4 years or more that is not resting after a birth (3.5 hours).
- A stud of 4 years or more, set from his card ("Set as stud"), who is not her father, her son or her brother.
- A free place in the tent for the calf.
- A breeding tool. Each breeding uses one.
Pregnancy
A pregnancy takes 3.5 hours, and birth speed-ups make it shorter. The pregnant she-camel has a timer until the birth.
The stud limit
A stud is limited to 7 breedings each day. The stud boost tool resets the count.
Inheritance
A calf takes its traits from both parents, with a chance of mutation, and some crosses can give a new colour. For this reason the choice of stud is the most important decision in the camp: a strong stud raises all your calves.
Milk
A she-camel that gave birth can be milked each 6 hours. You sell the milk from the warehouse.
Tip
Do not breed when the tent is full: the calf needs a place. Upgrade the tent or sell a weak camel before you breed. See The camp and resources.
