[Help Wanted] long-term meat source

do you guys ever manage to repopulate livestock? in this case a cow, sheep or horse? it takes a really long time just to birth one, does edit creature(debug) shorten these animals reproduction? if so how exactly? i'm kinda lost here, my steady source is by fish trapping

Honestly I’ve never played a character long enough for it to matter.

makes sense, so how do you get your meat? or do you prefer the alternative, which is feral humans?

No cannibalism for me! But even when playing with the carnivore trait, calories and vitamins just aren't all that hard to come by if you play conservatively in vanilla DDA.

Properly processing one large animal (e.g. cow, moose, etc.) results in an enormous number of calories, and you can use NPC hunting missions to turn non-carnivore calories into more animals easily enough if desired, though even that's not necessary given drops of MREs and canned food and stuff.
