Don't Starve Together Guide: Beefalo Taming Revisit - Easier Now? Worth It?

[@TheBeard777]

1) Crockpot foods used to give more hunger than normal but that seems to have changed. 2) Attacking a beefalo during domestication will have it lose 30% so not good. 3) Overfeeding also drops a beefalo's obedience by 30% 4) Attacking or shaving it will decrease it by 100% and anything else hitting it drops it by 1% each 5) Yes, you can pick stuff from the back of a beefalo DO I NEED TO CONTINUE TO RIDE AND FEED IT AFTER 100% DOMESTICATION? Yes, but barely, especially nowadays. Don't even worry about it, it's why we don't even talk about it here. Why not mention these in the video? Well, cause you shouldn't be doing more than half of this anyways! :D

I feel like fully domesticated beefalos should have their own stat trackers when your riding them, there's no client sided mod for this so when your playing on public its not really an option. I like knowing the health of my ornery beefalo for combat reasons naturally.

The annoying thing with ornery beefalo is that you have to feed it everytime before riding, which can be fatal under urgent situations.

Well, depends on how often you do feed it of course.

Hey Beard! Simple questions; How can you tell if the beefalo is tamed? It hasn't been 20 days, but I have one with a rider tendency. Also, what takes precedence, a beefalo bell or a salt lick?

[@TheBeard777]

If you're nearby them when it happens they poof in this whole animation thing and it's meant to indicate that they are groomed now. They should have better looking fur than a non-domesticated beefalo. And I am pretty certain a bell is higher on the priority list, yes.

[@TipsyOnLife]

[@basvanderwerff2725]

1 thing alot dont know warly spiced food does buff your beefalo if you eat it.

[@macroberts3890]

Specific question about Salt Licks - please help I understand Salt Licks, in that they are supposed to prevent Domestication level from dropping while you aren’t riding / feeding the beefalo, however I’m trying to understand the specificities a bit more, and would love some help. - Does the beefalo use the salt lick while the player is multiple screens away? - Does the beefalo need to be penned with the salt lick to ensure it doesn’t walk too far away? Or can I just place the beefalo bell on the ground next to the Salt Lick? - Does the beefalo “use” the salt lick if it’s sleeping? - Do beefalo’s sleep if they’re left idle in the caves? Basically, I want to start taming a beefalo immediately on a new server, but since I’m playing Wanda, I need to go to the archives at some point and mine/hammer a lot, so I’m hoping to be able to leave the beefalo at the archives entrance by a salt lick while I clear the archives. Basically I don’t want to lose Domestication while I take care of this necessary task. Is this viable?

[@TheBeard777]

Yes No and Yes Not that I know of Yes as night cycles still count down in the caves Also, Klei slowed the timers down on lost domestication anyways just for this reason so you don't have to stress as much as you used to.

[@tamirgsmith]

Thanks for the guide Beard! Just wanted to ask (anyone here really if they know the answer) - does riding a beefalo whilst it's well fed (hunger > 0) produce a higher rate of domestication than just having a well fed beefalo without riding it/riding the beefalo whilst it's hunger is 0? I hope that makes sense..

[@TheBeard777]

One does not help the other naturally however doing both is still going to happen in natural gameplay regardless. There will be times where you are not doing one or doing one over the other. Hence why I say just do both regardless.

Riding will get the job done alone if you do it often enough although most won't so that's why I tend to feed them a bit every time I get bucked off or climb off myself (besides, you have to keep their obedience up anyways) but yes, it's a process that you need to maintain consistently. Perhaps not as consistently as it once was but it'll take time.

No, that's why I called them alternatives in theory and not actual alternatives in entirety. It and the bell could simply be used to keep your beefalo planted in one area or even very specific spot to save you some trouble.
