Did they ever fix the rope thing? Is it viable to rope a sow and drag it back home?

[Nymous]

I was away for quite a while, and I remember all sorts of crazy bugs with roping animals- like getting locked onto a fixed point and having to have the server reset to free you. I just started a new world with a a friend, are we good to do this or is it back to hitting a boar and getting to chase me for the male, and chasing the sow for the female?

Is there anything else big I should know?

If you're in your own singleplayer world, just find both the male and female, kill them and don't loot them and then walk back to your camp and spawn them in acting like you "brought" them. This will save you the hassle. I do the same with iron and steel anvils. The pain of making them isn't worth the hassle so I just drop 9 ingots and some borax into a cave pit and spawn in the anvil to spare me the annoyance.

Ropes are still fucked.

Ropes are better than they were, I think, but still far from being bug-free. I'd recommend just trapping some piglets, herding the adults into a pen, or otherwise spawning in a breeding pair or using mods to make catching animals easier.

I'm not sure if you even can rope wild animals. Domesticated goats are still a hassle. Chasing them into an inhumane system of underground tunnels dressed as a hole is still pretty effective.

I didn't even know roping wild animals was an option, but wild boars run away from players now don't they?
