What to study

Livestock care is a hold-button verb done in the world, not a menu: inside the cutaway barn, the sheep carries a 'Lamb' target label and a 'Hold ✕ Acquire' prompt, while a 'Milk' toast at the right edge quietly receipts what the cow just gave. The produce lands in the same two-row hotbar used outdoors, wheat at 843, eggs counted beside it, so field, barn and inventory stay one continuous system under the same HUD. The trailer's section title, 'Livestock', is burned across the bottom-left corner of this frame. Frame at about 0:36 in the English Launch trailer (Steam).

• the barn interior as a cutaway diamond: a cow at its hay rack, a sheep and a pig in the straw, feed troughs lining the open side
• interaction prompts floating at the sheep: a '✕ Lamb' target label and a 'Hold ✕ Acquire' hold-to-collect prompt
• a 'Milk' pickup toast at right confirming the last collection
• the bottom hotbar restocked with the farm's output: 843 wheat, bamboo, greens and eggs with counts; the readout at top right shows 83,263 yen, AU/6 (SAT), AM 09:30
