Hay
Summary
"Food for your grazing friends. - Inventory Description
Hay is a second-tier resource, in that it is made by combining other resources, and is both a food source and a component in the construction of a decoration item.
Obtaining
Hay can be found in hidden chests, and scattered around the occasional island, but it can also be crafted.
To craft Hay, you must use a Workbench. Place 3 Small Plants and one Rope in the Workbench and use the Craft button to make one Hay at a time.
Use
The primary use for Hay is to feed grazing animals. In the current demo, this is limited to Sheep, but in future there will be other animals who eat Hay as well. Feeding an animal happens straight from a character's inventory without needing to hold it in the toolbar. One animal eats one Hay, no matter the age of the animal. Hay can also be added to a Trough to feed animals passively.
Another use for Hay is in constructing a Hay Stockpile. These Building crafts can be made in three sizes using 5, 10, or 20 Hay to make a large hay bale. These Hay Stockpiles can be picked up in order to regain the Hay which makes up the stockpile all at once, instead of one at a time.
