Each area can be assigned a certain type of domesticated critter. Areas can be designated as a pasture (Default Shortcut: Shift + P) which is only accessible after promoting a Trapper to a Shepherd. Domesticated critters are the province of the Shepherd, who gathers and looks after them. In my honest opinion, dont play this with the intention of having a smooth ride, if you want to play it long term with lots of hearthlings and combat and custom buildings, if your playing casual, low numbers, simple buildings, etc. Animals or Critters are entities which spawn naturally in every biome.

Heres the very short summary: Stonehearth Multiplayer allows up to eight towns. I think that the controls for building and especially custom building are not incredibly intuitive, but thats my opinion, and Ive still owned and played the game a few times over the course of a few years. Changed the default speed control setting to let both clients and hosts. yes you can play with fewer hearthlings and you can even play on peaceful mode so theres no enemies, but as long as thats what you wanted out of the game thats fine. No they generally havent fixed the most prevalent ones, imo. I would say in short, that It can be fun, i think with the bugs and performance issues at the stage its at and for the cost, you may want to make sure that you can even play it on your own before tackling it with multiple people, alot of the bugs which you've obviously read about.
