As I mentioned earlier, Chapter 16 has brought many updates to Sunflower Land. We’ve already covered the section on the Caves, but I haven’t yet mentioned the new animal added to the game: pigs.
To access this new animal, you will need a different building. Initially, many players speculated that pigs would be added to the Barn or the Hen House (which currently only houses chickens). However, a new structure called the "Pigpen" has been added exclusively for pigs.
You can obtain this new structure from the Blacksmith under the "Build" tab. Constructing the Pigpen requires 150 Wood, 10 Iron, 10 Gold, 200 Coins, and 10 Mud—a resource obtained in the Caves (another new feature). The first expansion is significantly more expensive, requiring 450 Wood, 45 Iron, 35 Gold, 12 Crimstone, 25 Mud, and 5,000 Coins, making it neither a simple nor a quick process to level up. Now that you understand how to access the new animal in Sunflower Land, let’s dive into the details of how feeding works, what the rewards are, and how you can use skills and SFTs to increase the quantity of items the pig provides.
I'll be much appreaciated if you Votes, Reblogs or give any Tips. Thanks and have good reading! 🍀
Sunflower Land: New Animal – The Pig
A notable feature of the Pigs is their unique feeding system, which differs from that of other animals—who only consume Corn, Wheat, and Barley. Pigs require "Slop" mixtures: they start with Basic Slop (a blend of basic and some mid-tier crops), followed by Hearty Slop (mid-tier crops and certain fruits). Finally, there are Rich Slop and Gourmet Slop, which require more advanced, rare crops or even fish.
I find this new concept—using a variety of ingredients to create feed for the pigs—to be a great addition. It helps balance market prices by creating extra demand for basic and mid-tier crops that might otherwise just pile up, as well as for items like fish and mushrooms, all of which are used to craft these "Slops."
As for the rewards, feeding your pigs yields a range of direct and indirect benefits. Two key new items are Truffles—used to prepare new recipes—and Pig Bristles, which are intended for a future weather system not yet implemented in the game. Both of these items can be sold on the marketplace.
Furthermore, there are other items you can obtain by trading in your pigs—much like with other animals—namely: Coins, Tickets, and Gems. It’s worth noting that you gain access to Gems even when the building is at level 1. As for Tickets, since this provides a new way to acquire them, I believe it will be easier to obtain items from Stella this season; this means you might be able to skip some of the more expensive delivery requests.
Finally, regarding buffs: I believe that general animal skills also apply to pigs, which is quite interesting. As for SFTs, since this is a new type of animal, there aren't any specific options for them yet. However, it’s worth mentioning that a "Pig Onesie" has been added to the Chapter Track this season; it will be very useful not only for pigs but also for all other animals, such as chickens, cows, and sheep.
The reason is simple: the Pig Onesie provides a 5% bonus to Animal Feed XP, which is extremely helpful. If you play Sunflower Land and own animals, you’ve likely encountered a situation where an animal was just shy of leveling up, yet you ended up having to use a full portion of feed—effectively wasting some of that feed's potential.
