How to Switch to a Different Food

Tiny Pasture is a cozy idle game that puts a quaint little farm at the bottom of your desktop. You’ll see your animals running around, taking a nap, and dropping coins every now and then as you go about your work. Since it takes up minimal resources, it shouldn’t affect anything else while you use your PC.

But even though it’s an idle game, there are a few things that you’ll have to manage from time to time. For instance, you’ll need to clean up the Animal Poop or else your Animals will start to get sick. But the most important thing you’ll have to do is give them Food to keep their Fullness up.

10 Cozy Indie Games In Early Access

For cozy gamers seeking the cutting edge of indie gaming, these cozy Early Access indie games should suit them quite well.

How Food Works in Tiny Pasture

When you unlock and buy an animal, it starts as a baby with 50% Fullness. To help it grow, you need to feed it until its Fullness reaches at least 60%. At that point, the Time Until Adulthood bar will begin progressing, and once it fills up, the animal will become an adult and start storing coins for you.

Of course, the Fullness meter will start to go down after a while. And if it drops below 50%, the Stored Earnings meter will pause, meaning the animal won’t earn you any coins. That means you’ll have to feed your Animals regularly if you want them to generate coins for you.

The Cuckoo House Facility in Tiny Pasture drops Food for your Animals at regular intervals as long as you have enough coins.

To see all the Food items you have available to you, head into the Shop and check the Items section. Carrots are available by default, and the rest of the Foods unlock as you raise more animals to adulthood on your farm. And it’s worth unlocking them as newer Food items raise your animal’s Fullness by a greater amount. For example, Carrot, the default Food item, provides 5 Fullness. Cheese, on the other hand, raises fullness by 23.

How to Switch to a Different Food in Tiny Pasture

There are two ways to feed your animals in Tiny Pasture:

Using the Shop: Open the shop window, click on a food item you’ve unlocked, and place it in the pasture.
Using the Quick Access Box: Click the Arrow button on the right to open the Menu House, and click on the Food under your total Coins.

The Quick Access menu is by far the fastest way to feed your animals. However, by default, it only has Carrots pinned to it. Even after unlocking new food options, it won’t automatically switch to a different food.

To change the Food in your Quick Access Box, follow these steps:

Open the Shop and go to the Items section.
Scroll down to the Food you want to use.
Click the small Pin button in the top-left corner of the food item.

This will replace the Carrot with a new Food of your choosing, allowing you to quickly buy it for your Animals anytime their Fullness drops too low.

You can only have one Food item in the Quick Access Box at a time.

Keeping your Animals well-fed is essential if you want your farm to thrive in Tiny Pasture. Switching to a different Food item in your Quick Access Box lets you make sure your animals will stay full and continue to earn you more coins.
