@@quicksandriggs I've seen boars have a small lag when eating turnips but I've never done any testing on it. Usually I'll toss 2 turnips in a pin and come back to see piglets after a few minutes.
I wonder if you could hide a Broadbent/Firespark style boar breeder in a granary style structure to get a nice combination of form and function, perhaps making use of torches under the granary to scare any of the piggies that fall down below into a proper pen, together with some stairs/slopes and beams to keep them from wandering back under the granary.
I saw a design that had the baby pigs land on a 45° roof and make them slide down. After they matured they would start pushing each other on a second slide that ended in camp fires to auto kill them. You only needed to swing by every now and then to pick up the loot.
Hmm... I might actually try building something like that. "The breeders" always looked a bit out of place to me. But I can't say they aren't effective.
I made one attached to a draugr spawn, so when I open the doors for the adult pigs, they drop through and the draugr attack them and a big fight breaks out. Right outside the gates are some thistles. I aptly named this outpost "The sausage factory".
@@TheJunnutin I modified the one at my farm to look like a pagen temple with a spire. The breeding boars reside at the top all hidden away with the pig sty bellow so they drop in from above.
500iq move on my part, i have a PortalNexus Tower and my food supplys on a tiny island i found smack dab in the middle of an ocean, i Warded off the entire island except a small fenced off spot off in the corner, took abour 20min to get 2 bosr to spawn in it :) wouldnt recommend outside this situation, but still good to know i think :D
So tip: There is not a chance of baby from each parent. Both of them can produce a baby and they will produce whatever their level is. You can test this. They can breed through a fence if they get close enough. Push a 0 star and X star together though the fence and you will end up with only the same type as the parent on each side.
Nice guide. To be a totally complete guide, there are some other topics that can be covered. How to transport by boat, and the use of the harpoon to move them, for example.
The point of having a double pen is so that you don't hit all of the boars when you harvest. Now that the butcher's knife is in the game, this seems not to matter any more. So now a single pen is most efficient?
@@quicksandriggs I've just finished making a bunch of 2-by-3 pens at 12m distances around the edge of my compound, using your style. Thanks for the vid. (I thought 2-by-2 was a little cramped for them!)
I'm going to be upgrading the quality of my pig stys, maybe using palisades... Raiding Drauger have attacked them and very nearly wiped out the whole herd, and now they're 2* and 3* I don't want to lose them to Drake raids
I am not sure what the exact limit is, I always saw production slow down massively once you got to about 5 boars, after that it was taking too long to justify continuing the research.
Is there any truth to something I heard in another video, that the Runestones that talk about how to tame boars are in fact boar-spawners? Supposedly if you kill all the boar in the area and come back later, you can reliably find a new spot for them to be. Useful for looking for the rare 2-star.
I’m not sure. I can tell you from my experience that the rune stones about boars always have them near it, but I’m not sure about respawning. If I get some time I’ll look into this and let you know.
And uh oh…I have a ton of boars now but can’t kill them yet LOL - I don’t have access to tin yet …I turned them all loose in my fortified enclosure LOL :) they are everywhere.
I've noticed a higher concentration of them near other starred creatures. I have a base on a tiny island that is chock full of 1 and 2 star of everything from dear to draugr. Stars stick together!
So the proximity of other boars affects the frequency of boar pregnancy. But does that affect how quickly the first pregnancy comes on? I was thinking I could keep pairs of boars near to each other, but just not breed often. Then when I need pork I'll go feed them all. Since they haven't breed in a while, it should be pretty quick right? Or will it be a long time from the moment I give them the food?
If there are too many boars near each other they won't produce babies at all, once the boar limit is reached within an area, they stop getting pregnant. After you've moved them apart and then fed them it will be the same amount of time to reproduce regardless of how long they've gone without a baby.

Pretty sure boars can also eat turnips.
I thought so too, but they wouldn't when I ran these tests. Maybe I didn't leave them in there long enough, or they were having a weird pathing issue.
They do, it's all I feed them :)

@@teddy5004 Gotcha, that makes a lot of sense!
Unfortunately they don't eat the yellow mushrooms.
Ah so this whole time I couldn’t find a man to “heart” with because I hadn’t trapped him with me in a small space... good to know
Lol!
That makes a lot of sense, maybe I should try too 🤔
Valheim will teach you things 😁
He also said something about heart reciprocation...
Try moving your torches further away.
Huh. And I've just been running around the map like a mad man hunting them
Loved the disclaimer, made me actually lol.
Lol, thanks!

excelent videos
Oh. So I kept taking boars near a fire and they just wouldn't tame! Now I know ughgh
They definitely do not adapt to fire! :P
Say 'boar' again. Say 'boar' again! I dare you; I double dare you! Say 'boar' one more goddamn time.
Boar...

Good point, transporting them is a hassle over distances!
Fire is no longer an issue for tamed boars since the last update
Good to know, thank you!
The fire distance clarification explained why i was having trouble taming past 35% thank you so much problem solved
I’m glad it helped!

Yep, I’d agree! Multiple pens only help if you spread them for more production.

Ouch, losing the high star piggies is tough!
My boars are almost always frightened and I can't figure out why
Do you know how many boars can be in that 12 meter range for them to keep breeding?
I am not sure what the exact limit is, I always saw production slow down massively once you got to about 5 boars, after that it was taking too long to justify continuing the research.
excellent guide, love it!!
Thank you! I'm glad it helped!
Hear hear.
This explains alot! Great video!
Thank you! I'm glad it helped!
Do you have a "how to protect Boar from Raids"?
I do not, sorry.
The views to likes ratio on this video is unfair. Great video, solid info delivered well. It's nice to see.
Thank you!
why??????? just build up high push boars in close off you get like 50 in day you was time here

The unlike was a 3 star boar lol
do you have to keep feeding them, and if so how often ?
You only need to feed them if you want babies. And you'd only need to do it right before you want one produced.
@@quicksandriggs so they don’t die if you don’t feed them? And your fencing area works great. I got my first boar in there. Thank you
Correct, they don’t die.
I’m glad it helped!
And uh oh…I have a ton of boars now but can’t kill them yet LOL - I don’t have access to tin yet …I turned them all loose in my fortified enclosure LOL :) they are everywhere.
Even without the butcher knife, if you turn on PvP (Friendly Fire) you should be able to kill them.
They eat turnips too.
I thought so! But for whatever reason I couldn't get them to eat it, maybe there was a pathing issue when I ran the turnip test...Thanks!
Same, at 1st bite the 2 star just wont eat turnip for some reasom so i ended up giving a carrot at 1st instead. Then gave turnip after..
@@chyne9496 Maybe turnips are desert for them, they've gotta have dinner first.
I cannot damage my boar to harvest them after they have been tamed and have breeded. Any suggestions?
Boars got updated and will only take damage from you if you turn on friendly fire/PvP mode, in order to prevent accidental slaughter.
They can also be killed with a butcher knife.
I've been using the "traditional" method as well. But I've never pet any of my boars. I don't want to kill something that loves me 😅
Lol, the life of a farmer!
Is it ok to have a workshop near the boar pen?
It should work just fine, Iron Gate changed tamed animals to not be afraid of fire anymore.
Make a small stair up and small edge on in the pen.. the boars wont jump a wooden beam in height
Got any tips on finding a 2 star boar?
Unfortunately I do not. I've heard of people finding them right near the start out alter and other still haven't located one. Seems to be all RNG.
I've noticed a higher concentration of them near other starred creatures. I have a base on a tiny island that is chock full of 1 and 2 star of everything from dear to draugr. Stars stick together!
In 300 hours of play have found 2 and they were both at dusk on meadows attached to swamp, at different intervals.
Extra info. I have only ever found 2 star boars at dusk. Not at any other time in 300 hours of play.
Has nothing to do with it. Has more to do with how far from spawn you've traveled than anything.
@@xsyntryk8607 yeah I know that now, this was 6 months ago and those were my findings at that time. :)
