Sports boars#
This chapter describes the athletic characteristics of pigs, training principles, and competitions. By mastering these principles, you’ll be able to raise a champion boar.
If you want to train boars yourself, use the “Boar Trainer” section (Business → Pig Racing → Boar Trainer). A detailed description of the trainer’s job is available here: /docs/work/pig-trainer.
Boars can participate in the following competitions:
General principles of characteristics#
When purchasing a pig from a state-owned farm, all characteristics are set to zero except for muscle mass, which is 10,000. For newborn piglets, initial characteristics depend on the sire’s parameters and the inbreeding coefficient. Maximum characteristics are genetically determined and can only be achieved through training. Feed quality directly impacts the performance of characteristics in races: the lower the satiety level relative to the optimal diet, the weaker the performance.
Key sports characteristics#
- Muscle mass. Affects acceleration on flat surfaces. It is measured as a percentage of body weight, from 10% (10,000) to 70% (70,000). Each workout and each run increases muscle mass by 16%. As your weight increases without training, the relative value decreases.
- Experience. Affects all stats except muscle mass. This happens with any training session: 1 hour = +1 experience.
- Agility. Affects cornering. Training: +1 per 1 hour.
- Intuition. Affects tunneling. Training: +1 per 1 hour.
- Jumping ability. Affects obstacle clearance. Training: +1 per 1 hour.
- Stamina. Affects traversal of icy terrain. Training: +1 per 1 hour.
- Maneuverability. Affects traversal of swampy terrain. Training: +1 per 1 hour.
Sports mode#
To participate in the competition, a boar must be switched to sport mode via the settings in the barn or piggery. Race participation becomes available the following day. Sport mode is available to boars aged 15 to 350 days, inclusive. Sows do not participate in the competition.
Features of the sports mode:
- Readiness for mating is reset.
- Procreation is impossible until the mode is disabled.
- After disconnection, it takes 10 days with an optimal diet for recovery.
- When disabled, muscle mass decreases by 15%, but not below 10,000.
- Feed consumption does not change compared to the normal regime.
Training and participation in races#
Training is available for boars aged 15 to 350 days with the training mode enabled. The trainer sets the price per hour of training, and the system automatically selects the trainer with the lowest price.
Training rules:
- One training session lasts 1 hour.
- Only one selected skill is developed.
- Each training session gives +1 to the selected characteristic.
- Additionally, each training session gives +1 to experience and +16 to muscle mass.
- Results are calculated after the training is completed.
- You can order any number of training sessions.
During training, boars may participate in races, but only one race at a time is allowed. Participation in any race increases muscle mass by an additional 16%.
The stadium regularly hosts races, which can be free or for a fee. The state-run “Three Little Pigs” tournament is held several times a week and offers high gold prizes.
