UnholyEvangelist Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 (edited) Anyone find getting animals into a fence is SUPER annoying? Like they either run off or destroy you. Not only that when you finally get them into a hole and sheep just jump 5 blocks out of the hole like why? There is annoying like drifters sniping you with pinpoint accuracy, then there is sheep disappearing because they jump passed any fence you put around them. I finally just said screw it and put them in a hole with a rim around it. Edited February 22 by UnholyEvangelist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 Welcome to Vintage Story mate, where even the dirt wants to kill you. Seriously though, the animals got tweaked in 1.19 and the devs are still working some of that out. Probably the best way to go with gathering animals is to set some traps to transport the young to a penned in environment. May want to consider a lit barn (needs to have a light source in it lest the animal despawn). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DejFidOFF Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 Did not experienced this since 1.16. Try to get animals different way. Find sheep build fence around and fence path with some trough and food to point where you want your sheep. Or find another your way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwind Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 You can do a trough line. Animals are passively attracted to troughs that contain food they will accept, and it's a fairly good range. So if there's a series of troughs leading back to your base, each with one item of food in it, then an animal will follow them all the way to where you want it. It may take a day or two to arrive, but you can do other things in the meantime. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 I've attempted those trough lines and had difficulty with them. The range is about 35 blocks. If you're in an area that does not have animals close by chaining troughs becomes troublesome. Especially if there's multiple animals to move. One animal will advance and eat what's in the next trough while the other hangs out at the previous one. I don't bother with this method if I have to attract animals from farther than 50 blocks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorfinn Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 That's the problem, @Maelstrom, you have to be patient and wait for all the critters to move closer before you let that trough go empty. I don't know what it is, maybe the feed time is "randomly" determined per animal or something, but not all will migrate at the same time. On the other hand, it means you can make an effective trough line with only 2 troughs. Largely not a problem with pigs anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnholyEvangelist Posted February 22 Author Report Share Posted February 22 The trough idea sounds pretty good. I finally got the jumping 5 blocks thing handled. I found a bear attempting to kill my boars but they are locked in thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
