Prevent exponential population growth of tamed creatures by sterilizing offspring. Only wild animals that you tame can produce offspring. Their children will be sterile.
Special handling for chicken eggs: Eggs purchased from the Trader are fertile and produce hens that can lay eggs. However, eggs laid by chickens produce sterile hens.
NOTE: Technically it is not required on the server. However, if it is installed on the server then it will force all clients to have it installed as well. This is to enable two modes of usage:
This mod operates entirely client side. That means you can connect to any vanilla server with this mod installed. Other players do not need to have the mod installed.
NOTE: If you host a game session with this mod installed then it will be considered to be installed on the server since your session is the server. Therefor, all clients will be required to have it. If you don't want to require all players to have this mod then you will need to host your game in a dedicated server. You can easily download and run the Valheim Dedicated Server from Steam or host one in the cloud.
