Pastures

Updated: October 15, 2024

Pastures are the heart of your sheep farm, providing a cozy home for your fluffy companions. Understanding how pastures work is key to becoming a successful shepherd in Meta-Land.

Types Of Pastures

Within Meta-Land, there are two distinct pasture options to choose from, each offering its own unique experience and advantages.

There are two types of pastures to choose from, each offering its own set of perks:

• Manual Pasture: In this pasture, you’ll need to manually shear your sheep. Keep a close eye on them because if you don’t shear them on time, they’ll stop producing wool. It’s a hands-on experience, but rewarding for those who like to stay involved.
• Automatic Pasture: Welcome to the future of sheep farming! In an Automatic Pasture, your sheep are sheared automatically. Just look for the icon in the bottom left corner of your pasture to see if you're in an automatic setup. You can also see the Auto Pasture icon in the pasture list.

Pasture Size & Capacity

Pastures come in three different sizes, and each size determines how many sheep you can house. The bigger the pasture, the more space for sheep—and for creative decorating!

Category	Pasture Size	Sheep Capacity
Small	5x5	Max 3
Medium	6x6	Max 4
Large	7x7	Max 5

Benefits of Larger Pastures

With larger pastures, you’ll have room to raise more sheep and get more creative with decor. Bigger pastures also let you group more compatible sheep together, unlocking combo effects that boost your farm’s efficiency.

Decorate Strategically

When decorating your pastures, size matters. Small pastures can boost up to three sheep with decorations, while large pastures can enhance up to five. If you’ve got special decor items with unique effects, placing them strategically on larger pastures can maximize their impact, giving your farm a big boost.

Guide: Switching Between Pastures

1. Locate Pasture Information Bar: You’ll find the pasture information bar at the bottom of the screen. This shows details like the pasture’s name, ID, and capacity.

2. Switching Between Pastures: If you’ve got more than one pasture, use the left and right arrows next to the information bar to switch between them.

3. Access Pasture List: Click the hamburger menu next to the information bar to open the pasture list, where you can see all your pastures, their sheep, and any active combo effects.
