Dromedaries are desert-dwelling herbivores that provide milk and act as pack animals.

Taming[edit]

Dromedaries are notable for requiring no minimum skill level to tame. They can be found in arid shrublands, deserts, and extreme deserts.

Summary[edit]

Dromedaries are pen animals. Once tamed, pen animals cannot and do not need to be trained any further. But if left outside of a pen or caravan hitching spot, pen animals will eventually roam outside your colony. Making a caravan is not required to tie animals to a caravan hitching spot.

A dromedary can be milked for up to 18 units of milk every 2 days (depending on your pawn's Animal Gather Yield).

Dromedaries are also pack animals. They will carry up to 73.5kg of weight in a caravan. They can be ridden by pawns to speed caravan speed by up to 130%.

Analysis[edit]

Dromedaries are an "all-in-one" animal, well suited for arid environments. Dromedaries produce milk, are pack animals, and are ridable, a combo entirely unique to dromedaries. In a desert or extreme desert, dromedaries are the only native animal to produce milk, and the only native animal that is a pack animal. Camelhide is also a great textile for heat insulation.

Dromedaries are much larger than most other animals found in a desert and extreme desert.

Milking[edit]

Female dromedaries produce 9 per day, or 0.45 nutrition in milk per day. A dromedary consumes 0.86 nutrition per day. This results in a nutrition efficiency of 52.3% from females' milk alone (or 10.47 per day per 1 nutrition consumed). Dromedaries provide the least milk of all animals.

Yaks are competitive with dromedaries, and choosing between them is more of a matter of preference. They are both pack animals that produce milk, but yaks produce 22% more milk on average, while dromedaries allow riders to speed up caravans. They are otherwise very similar - carrying the same load and eating the same amount. Dromedaries can be found in deserts, while yaks can be found in cooler biomes.

Training[edit]

This animal can be trained as follows:

Guard:
Attack:
Rescue:
Haul:

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.

Version history[edit]

0.7.581 - Added as Camel
0.12.906 - Can now be shorn for a new wool type: Camelhair, and milked for milk.
Beta 19/1.0 - Leg damage 11 -> 8

+'''Dromedaries''' are desert-dwelling [[herbivore]]s that provide [[milk]] and act as [[pack animal]]s.
-{{Info|Desert-dwelling, shrub-eating quadrupeds, dromedaries are one-humped camels. They can often be found in small herds. When enraged, they can melee and can become somewhat dangerous, comparable to [[deer]].}}
+== Taming ==
+Dromedaries are notable for requiring no minimum skill level to tame. They can be found in {{Habitats}}.
-These creatures can be hunted and butchered by colonists for a plentiful supply of meat. This is especially valuable, considering the scarcity of food in their native desert environment.
+== Summary ==
+{{Pen Animal Note|Dromedaries}}
-They also provide a large quantity of leather compared to other creatures that spawn in the same biomes, making them useful for a crafting-based economy. Their leather is a sandy brown color.
+A dromedary can be milked for up to {{icon small|milk}} {{P|Milk Amount}} units of milk {{#ifeq:{{P|Milking Interval Days}}|1|per day|every {{P|Milking Interval Days}} days}} (depending on your pawn's [[Animal Gather Yield]]).
-A Dromedary will also increase the carrying capacity of any [[Caravan|caravan]] it's part of by 66.5 kg.
+Dromedaries are also [[pack animal]]s. They will carry up to 73.5kg of weight in a [[caravan]]. They can be ridden by pawns to speed caravan speed by up to 130%.

-===Production===
+Dromedaries are much larger than most other animals found in a desert and extreme desert.
-[[Overview#Handle|handlers]] are required to harvest resources from animals.
-Dromedaries can be sheared once every 30 days, producing 100 [[camelhair]].
+===Milking===
+Female dromedaries produce {{icon small|milk}} {{P|Daily Milk Average}} per day, or {{#vardefineecho:milk_nutr_per_day|{{#expr:{{P|Daily Milk Average}}*0.05}}}} [[nutrition]] in milk per day. A dromedary consumes {{P|Real Hunger Rate}} nutrition per day. This results in a nutrition efficiency of {{%|{{#var:milk_nutr_per_day}}/{{P|Real Hunger Rate}} round 3}} from females' milk alone (or {{icon small|milk}} {{#expr: {{P|Daily Milk Average}}/{{P|Real Hunger Rate}} round 2}} per day per 1 nutrition consumed). Dromedaries provide the least milk of all animals.
-Female dromedaries can be milked once every 2 days, producing {{icon|milk|6}}.
+[[Yak]]s are competitive with dromedaries, and choosing between them is more of a matter of preference. They are both pack animals that produce milk, but yaks produce {{#expr: (({{Q|Yak|Daily Milk Average}}/{{P|Daily Milk Average}})-1)*100 round 0}}% more milk on average, while dromedaries allow riders to speed up caravans. They are otherwise very similar - carrying the same load and eating the same amount. Dromedaries can be found in deserts, while yaks can be found in cooler biomes.

-Note that [[cow|cows]] are faster milk producers and [[alpaca|alpacas]] are faster wool producers.
+== Health ==
+{{Animal Health Table}}
-However, neither produce both milk and wool; only Muffalo and Dromedaries produce both milk and wool. Dromedaries yield slightly less meat and are worth 450 rather than 500 silver, making Muffalo the better of the two animals that produce milk and wool.
