I figured as much. Before I logged off last night, I made a dirt tower and put the rod on the top of it. Whether or not it works better is to be determined, but I sure hope it does.
To address some statements made here, I’d like to say, for Rhyagelle, the rod is definitely more than 8 blocks away from the pen. I heard lightning does an 8 block AOE, which makes sense. As stated above, I built a dirt tower, instead of a fancy one, just in case it doesn’t work.
For Ogi Teh Yeti. Yeah, it has definitely decreased my morale quite a bit. The second time I wrangled a chicken and rooster, I had 3rd gen eggs in the hen boxes, so I was happy to see them hatch. Then I came back to them all dead, restarting my progress. It REALLY sucked. Once I get on today, I’m gonna have to wrangle another pair. I think I’m gonna move my dirt tower on top of the pen, though.
For Dakko, although I probably should have done this in the first place, considering I knew about how these rods work in real life, a lack of wiki info lead me to believe that I might not need to have it high up. And to this point, we still don’t know, since it’s still an assumption. I’m crossing my fingers it does works.
I think, after this has been figured out, a wiki page should definitely be something that needs to be created. There’s probably people going through the same thing, and not knowing what is going on.
That being said, the wiki is actually really astounding. I’m really glad it has a lot of information on things I need help with. I really appreciate the work that has been put into it. It just needs more work on pages that haven’t been worked on yet.
Since this hasn’t been resolved just yet, and it’s only been assumptions of a fix, if anyone else who comes across this thread is able to confirm the information, or has new information to announce, please add your input. It’ll help out greatly.
Thank you.
