11Probably Stolen lets you raise animals in the shop. Rat ranching in Animal Cages came first, and a demo update on October 19, 2026 added fish farming in tanks. Farmer is one of the starts listed on the store page, which also names hydroponic farmer among the extra jobs you can take on.22Rat Ranching44Rats are kept in Animal Cages; one pre-release screenshot shows several cage windows full of rats. A starting scenario called the Rat Wrangler also exists. It was secret in the playtest and was made visible in Patch 48.3.12 on August 7, 2026; see Starting Scenarios and Perks.66Equipment and items tied to animal care in official patch notes include the feed dispenser, the Vacuum Robot (which can sit inside a cage and, once upgraded with its incinerator, destroys the feces in its storage), livestock serums whose doses can be combined, mouse traps that can be stored in bags, and dead rats. Machines are covered on Machines and Crafting.89The Gene Scanner1011The Gene Scanner shows an animal's alleles as colors in its tooltip. Since Update 049 the colors follow the stat's direction: a low Hunger Rate roll shows green and a high one shows red, where earlier it was the reverse. As of October 20, 2026, a full list of animal stats has not been published.1213Animal Cage Rework1415Update 049, released with the demo on September 14, 2026, reworked the Animal Cage.1617ChangeDetailDurability wearScales with the size of the living animals inside; dead animals, cage equipment and other stored items cause no wearIngot size upgradesEach one adds 20 maximum durability and 20 current durabilityScrap repairRestores 50% of maximum durability instead of a flat 50 pointsPlacementMachines can no longer be placed inside, except cage equipment such as the Vacuum Robot and feed dispenser1819The same update fixed a bug that let players upgrade an Animal Cage with scrap metal they did not own.1920Aquafarming2122The Aquafarmer demo update on October 19, 2026 added a new Wild's Network upgrade, the Retired Aquafarmer. This retired merchant sells the equipment for raising fish in tanks so you can harvest and sell their meat. You begin with a basic water circulation system, a stock of tilapia and a supply of fish food. The developers describe aquaculture as slower-paced than rat ranching, with less maintenance, and more beginner friendly.2324Species2526SpeciesWhat Is ConfirmedTilapiaSeveral varieties; the starting stockEelsA more valuable species you can expand intoSturgeonsA more valuable species; Surgery Tools harvest caviar from them2728Tank Care2829Each species has its own habitat requirements. You manage the tank's water quality, filtration and energy cell to keep the water circulating and the fish healthy. Tanks can be upgraded if you supply the right materials. Water purity in general is covered on Water Trading.3031Breeding3233When habitat conditions are met, fish may reproduce by laying and fertilizing roe.The eggs eventually hatch into swarms of fry.The fry grow into mature fish.3435Harvesting3637A knife slaughters and butchers fish for their meat. Some fish also give unique resources beyond meat, and sturgeons can be harvested for caviar with Surgery Tools. As of October 20, 2026, the other unique resources have not been named.3839Interface Note4041The animated images in the October 19 post show an updated interface that the developers said is coming in the full release and is not in the demo. Expect the aquafarming screens at launch on October 28, 2026 to differ from the demo version.
