The **Pig** is a type of Farm Animal. Its upgraded counterpart is the Hog.

# General Description

Pigs till Soil and break crust, efficiently saving the player Pickaxes and time spent tilling soil. They can also create compact soil (something the player cannot do without Golden Hoe), which can have Crops grown in it twice before it needs to be tilled again. With Snot Nose, they can create moist soil which causes crops to grow much faster.

Some items cause tilled soil to drop items, such as Seeds or Fertilizer. If pigs uncover these items, they will hold onto them, and be marked by an  exclamation point. Running into the pig will pass the items onto the player.

# Obtaining

Pigs can be bought, given, or rescued from Camps.

### Camps

The first area of each Biome may have Camps containing pigs. Clearing a "Farm Animals" camp of Enemies rewards the player with a choice between two farm animals, one of which is sometimes a pig. The "Upgrade" camp, which gives the player a choice between two upgrades when cleared, may offer a Mud Pit, which grants the player three pigs immediately.

### Shops

The Garden Shop in Town has a small chance to sell pigs in summer for 500 .
At Seasonal Festivals, the Rose Market also has a chance to sell pigs, in exchange for 3 , or the Mud Pit item for 3 . The Mud Pit item may also be offered by romanceable NPCs in exchange for roses. Finally, pigs are a rare prize at the Seasonal Festival Casino.

### Rewards

Depending on the player's Yield Score at the Seasonal Festival, they may be awarded items. One of those items has a chance to be a Farm Animal, with regular farm animals more likely in spring and summer. Upgrades such as Mud Pit are also likely all year round.

Thyme starts with a pig by default.

# Produce

If the player has the Nasal Spray upgrade, pigs can dig up Truffles while tilling soil. These must be collected by walking over them or by using the harvest circle, and sell for 200  each.
