The Raccoon is a small wild animal that gives a survivor rodent meat, a hide and a skull. It is caught mostly with traps, and a live catch can even be kept and bred in a pen.

Raccoons are wild animals. They roam the woods and fields, and they always run from people. A raccoon that is caught and picked up stops being wild. It can then live in a livestock zone, though it stays shy around people for a long time. Young raccoons are Kits. A female Kit grows into a Sow, and a male grows into a Boar.

The game has a single breed, the Gray raccoon. Adult Sows and Boars look the same, while Kits are smaller.

Raccoons matter because they are an easy supply of meat and hide from the woods. They are harmless to people. They also breed fast, so a captured pair can supply a steady trickle of food. The raccoon looks a lot like early versions of Spiffo, the game's mascot.

How to Hunt Raccoon

Raccoons are caught in traps at night, from evening until before dawn. A Cage Trap works best. Snare Traps, Box Traps and Crate Traps also catch them. Deep forest is the best place to set a trap, followed by other woods and open vegetation. Towns and trailer parks are poor ground for raccoons.

Carrots are the best bait. Lettuce, Bell Peppers and Cabbage come next, then common produce such as Apples, Corn, Bananas, Potatoes, Tomatoes and Peaches. A trap can hold a live raccoon of any age. A trapped raccoon starts trying to break free after about a day, so traps need checking often.

A raccoon in the open flees as soon as it notices a person. Every raccoon is light enough to pick up and carry once caught. A Kit can be killed by hand, while an adult needs a weapon.

A captured raccoon can live inside a livestock zone. It needs room to roam, the same amount at every age. Raccoons eat animal feed, grass, hay, vegetables and fruit from a feeding trough. Water goes in a separate trough. Kits can feed from their mother but also survive apart from her. Raccoons can climb stairs, and they may keep fleeing from their keeper until they grow used to people. Petting them builds that trust. Males leave each other alone, so a pen can hold more than one. Raccoons can also ride in a livestock trailer.

Raccoon Breeding

A Kit grows into an adult in about two months of game time. Sows and Boars can breed as soon as they are grown. Raccoons mate at any time of year.

A pregnancy lasts about five weeks. The pregnancy time can be changed in the sandbox settings. After giving birth, a Sow rests for only about a week before she can carry again.

Genes pass from both parents. They shape size, meat, weight, lifespan, strength, fertility and temper. Raccoons live for about a year and a half before they reach old age. Their quick growth and short rest between litters let a captive group grow fast.

The raccoon grows through these stages, each one taking the days shown to reach full size.

Raccoon Butchering

A raccoon carcass gives Rodent Meat, Bone Pieces, a Raccoon Head, a Raccoon Skull and an unprocessed Raccoon Hide. Adults give more meat and bone than Kits.

A Butcher Hook improves the yield and is needed to recover the hide. The final yield also depends on the animal's size, its meat genes, the age of the carcass and the Butchering skill. The carcass is used up completely and leaves no skeleton behind.

Living raccoons leave Raccoon Dung in their pen.

What a butchered carcass gives at each life stage, one tab per stage.

Raccoon Locations

Raccoons live in the wild and turn up wherever traps are set. Deep and organic forest gives the best catches. Other woodland and areas of thick vegetation also work. Towns and trailer parks are poor trapping ground.

Notes

  • Set Cage Traps in deep forest with Carrots for the best catch.
  • Check traps daily, since a raccoon tries to escape after a day.
  • A picked up raccoon becomes livestock but stays shy.
  • Raccoons breed again only a week after a litter.
  • An adult raccoon needs a weapon to kill, while a Kit does not.
