For some strange reason my boars were not reproducing when there was just two of them in a giant playground sized space, thanks to this build now they are multiplying rapidly, best thing about this build is that it isn't complex and didn't take much time.
They were probably too far away. A tamed boar needs another tamed boar within 3 meters of it. There are a handful of factors, and builds like this are all about looking at the numbers, and making sure that the breeding boars are always meeting the right conditions. The only thing the breeders can't design a way around is making sure that the boars stay "active" in the game. So you do need to bein the same general zone.
@@thewyj If you're not within 64m of the area, it becomes "inactive". Many things require the area to be "active" (a player within 64m) for them to happen. In concern to breeding: Animals will NOT breed if they are not active (no player within 64m). HOWEVER. Young will become full adults while inactive. So if you want to slaughter everything in your pen without worrying about wasting resources by killing the young; Just stay far enough away from the breeding structures until all young have grown up. Then you can quickly slaughter them all for easy gains without killing the young on accident.
This was the second video I watched about an unlimited boar farm... the first one took me about an hour and a half to build and didn't work. This one took me about 10 minutes to build and works like a charm. Thank you!
I Just bought this game about a week ago and am trying this, DID THEY NERF IT!? my piggies dnt eat the mushrooms or berries when up there :( If They did Nerf this strategy how many pigs can i breed in a particular area? Like how do i make more pigs?
@@CrusaderLarry Yep, or edit it to say it doesn't work now and put the link to this one in the description. No need to remove it when it's interesting and attracting views to THIS one! :)
This method still works so anyone who cant get it working is probably not getting the food centered enough on the boars head or put too much space for the boar to not glitch its head into the wall.
@@TheSpaniard96 Yep this is the one that works, we're talking about the previous video of a method that no longer works, that brought us to this one because it's mentioned in the comments :) We watched the other one and only by checking the comments did we realise it wouldn't work and to check this updated one instead...if we hadn't checked the comments we'd have been trying a method that's been patched :)
This works really well with a multi level watershed type farm. If you build a long stretch down a hill of crop farms and terraform a cliff, you can grow the carrots right next to the boars to keep feeding them. If you're able to get the cliff to be tall enough, no need for log beams or a ramp. You can also go fishing or make a fish farm on the shore at the bottom, so crazy amounts of food. I haven't gotten to the plains yet, but if you spawn proof it, you could probably do the same and grow those crops too.
For anyone wondering, this still works for Mistlands PTS. Built one myself and still working perfectly with boars. Have not tried with wolves yet, will edit when I get there. EDIT: Yup, still works with wolves too. Absolutely no problems with either. Happy breeding!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, just built the version that stopped working and was so frustrated that all the work had gone to waste. Now I'm adapting to this new design.
Thanks so much for this! I love it! Just wanted to add an accidental discovery... you can actually fit a total of four boars in here. Not sure how it happened, but through some odd turning or something I had 2 that grew but the rest were falling out correctly. Double output!
Just made my setup today. Put wolves and boars up in the same tower. I'm having the hardest time tossing the food close enough to the walls for them to get though. if theres a way to just place food items where you want. vs. throw, that'd be much more helpful. But thanks for the tutorial regardless!
We might have to try this ,but would have to do another thing to your pin on the top. Need to have them in closed due to other mobs like bats or Drakes killing any thing that moves.
If anyone is having problems with the boars eating, and the wall nor the fence works, I found a way that will always work, your gonna wanna use the Wood Door instead, the door is tinner and their head comes thru alot more.
Boars and wolves still working like a charm - thanks for the video! I also got this to work with chickens by adding a couple vertical 1x1s on either side of both pen areas along with a couple slanted 1x1 horizontals to give the hens a 'seat' to stand over while still allowing the eggs to fall through. Now my only problem is getting the eggs to warm up - campfires, bonfires and hearths don't seem to do the job.
@@DanniMSC Hey! I have not had that problem with this design; it’s been running solid since my initial comment. That said, I’m only playing on my local machine. I’ve seen some people talking about how things load on some servers, and if that server loads the boars in before it loads the structure they are standing on, they will fall through.
@@akashdsouza7759 it can be tricky but what I did was make a extra floor so I can stand behind a bit and threw the food at the middle wall, so it directly land next to it
This idea works amazing. I have made some adjustmesnt and have four animals up top 2 boars 2 wolves... concrete 4x4 at the bottom but the solid walls werent working for me since the animals would not eat unless i threw the food directly at them. my setup their eating comfortably for me so far the last 6 hours i have been watching it afk. Not sure if it will hold up but seems to be solid so thank you for the great idea.
If i could post a picture I would but im using half walls and wooden beams instead of full walls.. i tried fences but that did not work well either. basically a half wall at the top where the top of the full wall should be... then a flush wooden beam(not the core wood one but that might work didnt try) then i shift placed another sections of wooden beams under the correctly placed ones as accurately as i could... seems to be working great as i said.. just posting in case anyone else is having issues.
Anyone who routinely comes back to this, you can just make the Abyssal Harpoon and drag them up instead of dealing with the AI and pushing them up. Thank me later!
Instead of taming the boars on the ground, then taking them up the ramp, let them chase you up the ramp. Double fence the platform initially, and put a door at the top (and bottom) of the ramp. The boar will run up the ramp, then you can tame them up there. They don't seem to tame well in the final small pen, so I used the whole platform. Tame before you put the portal in as the portal's "fire" will frighten the boars.
For the ramp, I use stairs bordered with simple 26' wood beams. It simple and effective, but also gives snap points to put a half-wall on the stairs to keep boars from walking down while you take a breather.
heya, the last few times ive tried to do something like this the boars basically refuse to eat and breed. I read elswhere that they tried to fix the boar farms by making it so the boar needs to be effectively touching the ground. ive made it work using the same method but having the boars on the edge of a raised ground pillar with no issues. im impressed you managed to get it to work without them touching the ground
Great method, and I like that while it's exploiting the game mechanics a bit, it's not using any glitches. It's not even necessary for head to clip through the wall - you can make a ½ wall 1m off the ground so the boars peek through. It's technically still the same, you still need to be accurate with the food positioning but looks less glitchy. Also the advice on how to 'load' the boars because I had issues with them running before I can place the wall: just put a door at the front of the pen(s) and leave it open. Once the boar is in position just close the door - way quicker than building the wall. Then you can build the ½ wall over the door and destroy the door. Other variant could be to put 2 shutters at 1 height, and just close them an leave as it is. I'd also suggest building 1m walls on the sides of the platform to avoid accidentally pushing the boar off of it, or worse, falling to your death :) In my case I made a 10x10m stone tower around it. Now it both produces endless pigs and looks cool. I don't even have to pull in the boar** from the other side of the map (and I've had several failed attempts), but works well with my boar* which is the max I could find near the base.
Thank you very much for this video! Very resource friendly. I put 2 of these back-to-back and it produces ~50 babies per hour! That's too OP lol, so I'll repurpose 1 of them for wolves
So I just made one of these in survival, with scaffold and everything, no cheats, was working really well, so I dismantled the ramp and repurposed the wood as a spiral staircase up to the platform, looks great but not good for pushing pigs up. Was in the middle of "bat proofing" the top just in case, but had to go chop more wood... Cauldron event happened as I got back and bats killed everything, including the two guys up top! :( So... we need a bat proof version of this. Not sure how, since a hole in the floor is kinda needed for the piggies to drop through, and bats will fit through it.
Now this isn't usefully but is was fun anyway. I had finished building the earthen siege walls all around my base. I noticed that 2 doe and 1 buck were trapped inside. So by using walls to make the area smaller and smaller and hearding them in, I created a a deer park with a couple trees in it for them to run around in. So far they haven't despawned. If they eventually do, oh well, it was fun anyway.
Hello, so I finally found 2 boars and managed to catch both of them. At first, they didn't want to eat but then they began to feel like home and they started to eat as well. After some time we became friends and I was able to name them Bob and Greg (yes they were both male but they managed to make little boarlets, don't ask me how) after their 3rd kid something unexpected happened, it broke my heart.. All the way from the mountains, Drakes raided my village. I thought that it's over, I thought 'I am gonna die' but luckily I fought them off and lived to see another day. I was so happy, but then, I saw it.. I looked up at the pole to check on Bob and Greg but they were gone, thier poor little bodies eaten, the only thing that was left were 2 little boar meats and a few carrots they didn't have time eat.. I hope they are happy in boar heaven. If anyone knows how to protect the boars from drakes, please let me know, I dont think I can live through loss like this again. Thanks
5:00 pushing up babies (piggys or wolf cubs) is way easier than the adult animals. although with wolves they will just follow you. you just fill in the floor area where the piggys would drop out with 1x1 tiles and remove them when they are fully grown.
can you do the same thing, but dig a big pit to put the pole in? so you don't need a ramp as much? (and then just put walls around it to keep the breed pair safe?)
@@Martyn_Lawson if the distance from the bottom of the hole to the top of the pole was the same as it would be if it was built as in the video, would it still not work?
@@no_i_dont_want_no_slugs yeah it should. I haven't tested it myself, but I've read others have dug a big hole to have the breeders ground level. that seems to work, but again, I haven't tested that myself.
The problem is getting the wolves to follow you from a different land mass. I'm gonna try it, but I think I will put the workbench in a false floor at the top and then put the portal on top of that. Also need to actually make a hut at the top since I get regular Cold Mist events and the dragons will wipe them out if there isn't a roof. I shall name it The Baba Gaga Breeding Pen.
In meadows I used a stationary rock to gain some easy 2 meters, built on top of the rock, then dug a hole 4 meter deep to gain easy meters again. I ll still have to move the piggies up there tho.
I have done variations between this one, your old one and someone elses who use a 2x4 1 meter gap breeder with 4 boars. Mi version is sort of the same but sometimes 1 of 2 things happen. The piggy either spawns next to the mother or over the gap somehow stepping on air and they just grow to full boar, or the other thing being it spawns outside of the box rendering it useless. I sometimes have had to make the floor chess-like but still piggies spawn at one spot and are stuck there, never moving around so as to fall down the hole and eventually grow up to full boar
@@oab oh yeah, i meant to say it as an inquiry of what to do in those two cases, as in why am I having them. I will use your idea of the 2x2 wall on the 1x4 meter side so boars are always facing away from gap
@@oab actually this is not a super common occurrence but I have had exactly this happen a handful of times over a few days IRL of playing. The baby’s sometimes get stuck and then grow into a full boar, I now have two boats in each 2x2 box on top and have left them because it continues to happen so I leave the 4 there but on occasion they will spawn a baby that then grows up and there is 3 in each pod and then the spawner stops working. Just something to keep in mind for everyone
I build one for boars next one will be for wolves then ill use Lox (they do breed for me) thanks for the video it was an excellent help - now to get them to eat so they can breed
Pretty sure the latest update at least on Console broke this they were breathing just fine then they update happened now they won't eat and they won't face the correct direction
@@maruzzeI think it checks for 5+ animals of the same species within 10m but 2 core wood poles is only 8m. Not sure if 2 core wood + a 2m wood one would work due to stability (plus I’m not sure if it counts from the ground the boar is on or from the top of its head because I think they are 1m tall)
I built exactly the same building, but my boars (I didn't check with wolves, but I think everything is exactly the same there) don't eat food. Most likely fixed.
I thought valheim changed the requirements to have the boats grounded to work. When did they change back? How is those individual board breading? Is it a proximity thing inside of direct contact/humping?
They don't have to be on the ground and they never had to be. They just needed more of a platform to stand on. Also the boars have more space in their own pod now, which matters apparently. Yeah it appears to be entirely proximity based. Otherwise this wouldn't work 😃
@@oab what for like 6 months I interpreted the platform change as they need to be grounded. Dammit Going to totally use this video to make a copy of the breed, high in the sky
Hey, I'm a new player and I'm looking to get boar meat faster. I like this design and was wondering if building a structure around this to make it look better would mess it up at all? Second question, does building two of these increase the rates or does the games limit the number that can be born at a time?
You would need supports to make the structure more sturdy if you plan on adding more, but it shouldn't mess up the spawning, just dont cover floor in the bottom
@@matthewfritz2540 Any tips for lining the food up? I keep throwing it on the ground but they only eat if I get it just right which means throwing it down like 30 times.
Mine isn't working at all. :( My pigs made one piggy, that grew up in the pen and got stuck up there. Now they won't eat or do anything, and I have no idea why.
So I built this, and first off, it works great 90% of the time. The question I have, is when I setup the dropped food, it seems that the boars become unable to reach after a little bit. Is this something to do with me leaving the area and things rendering back in? Anyone had this experience?
Yea kinda got a similar problem. Platform's all ready and stuff but for some reason the boars are not eating. Jumped over and put the food inside their box where they can easily reach it but still they're not touching the berries/mushrooms.
I've built the exact build, however my boars breed extremely slow, they goes days without one popping out. Am I doing something wrong? I do have a roof over the breeders heads, but that's all I've done different.
It seems like the boars only produce offspring when I get close to them . The food doesn't appear to be the issue as when I'm close they make piggies. Do boars not breed unless someone is somewhat close to them?
I build this pretty early because it's a good source of leather scraps, it helps progress faster. If you keep the meat the farm isn't necessary later on, but early game it's pretty useful
I just finished implementing this, although because of my own stupidity in knocking it down, I ended up supporting the platforms with four 2x2 stone pillars, reinforced with iron wood beams, although I needed to leave out the pillars where it would have blocked off the piglet chute. The pigs were intensely frustrating to get into the pens as well, although I managed it eventually. My ingame food yield has not been anywhere near high enough recently, so I am taking steps to change that. I wish there was a way I could build spawning pools for leeches; then I would be completely set.
Ok super confused. Some comments from a month ago say it still works. Some from same time period say it doesn’t. I just built mine now 9/16/2023 and it’s been 5 in game days, still no baby boars. The adults DO eat though. When I go check them they are “Tame, Happy”, not Hungry. What gives?
I followed everything but when i add the portal and take off the Ramp, the portal flooring breaks and so does the portal. Any idea what I could have done wrong?
Thanks broadbent, do you have any plans to start a playthrough again? Maybe with a challenge like the spartan challenge, no chest and leg armor and only spears or atgeir. Let us know 🥺
Late reply but I actually don’t recommend using the full wall, instead replace it with a wooden door to guarantee the boars eat through the wall and the food lands in front of them
Built this, and it works great in the Mistlands update. However, I got the "You Have Stirred the Cauldron" Bat Raid shortly thereafter and they flew up and buttblasted my breeder boars along with 90% of the livestock below. Any tips on protecting against this?
When I put the boars in there they dont pressup against that wall they press up against the back half wall that has the hole under it and wont eat the carrots
still works in the ashlands play test
thx for confirming!
cant get mine to eat. any tips?
@@izayoo2062 try getting the food the closest to the wall possible
Got this to work by replacing the front wall where the boar's head is at with roundpole fences
@@izayoo2062 Can confirm this was also a fix for me, and fit my build better at the same time :D

can you do the same thing, but dig a big pit to put the pole in? so you don't need a ramp as much? (and then just put walls around it to keep the breed pair safe?)
I don't think so, you need the distance so the game only thinks there are 2 boars, so they breed constantly.
@@Martyn_Lawson if the distance from the bottom of the hole to the top of the pole was the same as it would be if it was built as in the video, would it still not work?
@@no_i_dont_want_no_slugs yeah it should. I haven't tested it myself, but I've read others have dug a big hole to have the breeders ground level. that seems to work, but again, I haven't tested that myself.
If you know what to do then this *should* work
The problem is getting the wolves to follow you from a different land mass.
I'm gonna try it, but I think I will put the workbench in a false floor at the top and then put the portal on top of that. Also need to actually make a hut at the top since I get regular Cold Mist events and the dragons will wipe them out if there isn't a roof. I shall name it The Baba Gaga Breeding Pen.
Happy to see you uploading again. 😀
Anakin skywalker is on my server. how do I keep the younglings safe
still working as of 1/9/23
This still works and on console aswel .
For the people having problems getting piggies up the ramp. You can just turn on friendly fire, and use the harpoon.
Ppl that play like this have optimized the fun out of survival games
but this is disabled already no? breed only from real ground, not from ramp
This breeder is working in the latest version of Valheim.
Hey man! It's so nice to see you back. I'm wondering if you will ever get to making a video of the third trailer on Sons of the Forest?
Hmm, maybe not on the trailer. The game is set to come out in around 2 months!
@@oab I respect that. I'm really hyped to see you make your first series and I hope you stay well.
Still works perfectly for both wolves and boars :D
Thx, i was wondering cause all coments are a bit old
My wolves dont seem to breed but boars breed extremely quickly
do you have to build it up so high? can you build a pit and then put this at the same "height" but from bedrock?
still works thank you for the vid!
Good to hear you again mate ;)
Amazing, this is working so perfectly for me. Thank you for the quick, easy to understand explanation!
In meadows I used a stationary rock to gain some easy 2 meters, built on top of the rock, then dug a hole 4 meter deep to gain easy meters again. I ll still have to move the piggies up there tho.
Does it work?
I have done variations between this one, your old one and someone elses who use a 2x4 1 meter gap breeder with 4 boars. Mi version is sort of the same but sometimes 1 of 2 things happen. The piggy either spawns next to the mother or over the gap somehow stepping on air and they just grow to full boar, or the other thing being it spawns outside of the box rendering it useless.
I sometimes have had to make the floor chess-like but still piggies spawn at one spot and are stuck there, never moving around so as to fall down the hole and eventually grow up to full boar
I have stress tested this for 8 hours straight and had non of these happen. You will be fine with this design if you follow the tutorial exactly 👍
@@oab oh yeah, i meant to say it as an inquiry of what to do in those two cases, as in why am I having them. I will use your idea of the 2x2 wall on the 1x4 meter side so boars are always facing away from gap
@@oab actually this is not a super common occurrence but I have had exactly this happen a handful of times over a few days IRL of playing. The baby’s sometimes get stuck and then grow into a full boar, I now have two boats in each 2x2 box on top and have left them because it continues to happen so I leave the 4 there but on occasion they will spawn a baby that then grows up and there is 3 in each pod and then the spawner stops working. Just something to keep in mind for everyone
I build one for boars next one will be for wolves then ill use Lox (they do breed for me) thanks for the video it was an excellent help - now to get them to eat so they can breed
Pretty sure the latest update at least on Console broke this they were breathing just fine then they update happened now they won't eat and they won't face the correct direction
Do I need to definitely build with 3 core wood pillars? Can building up with 2 work? For the boat pen at the top? Is that high enough?
I would like to know the answer to this as well.... why is it so high?
@@maruzzeI think it checks for 5+ animals of the same species within 10m but 2 core wood poles is only 8m. Not sure if 2 core wood + a 2m wood one would work due to stability (plus I’m not sure if it counts from the ground the boar is on or from the top of its head because I think they are 1m tall)
Word of vaurion: If you get the drake or especially the bat event, the boars and or wolves will likely be gone in minute... 😅
*caution
this is dystopic.. I love it
I built exactly the same building, but my boars (I didn't check with wolves, but I think everything is exactly the same there) don't eat food. Most likely fixed.
Wicked. Gonna use this. Thanks :)
liked it and bro good work! thx u bro for make it clear, usefull and ordened! Hope it works today!
Make more vids please, love watching them, and miss ya!
you can always harpoon your boar and pull it up then release it when you're up on the platform. saves a lot more time
"a lot if time" is generous. Pushing really isn't that bad
Don't you need a roof, so the breeder wouldn't rot over time under the weather conditions?
Nice idea! I don't think it's stolen like some yt bloggers do! I like it and its easy to make! Thx! Take care! (=
I thought valheim changed the requirements to have the boats grounded to work. When did they change back? How is those individual board breading? Is it a proximity thing inside of direct contact/humping?
They don't have to be on the ground and they never had to be. They just needed more of a platform to stand on. Also the boars have more space in their own pod now, which matters apparently. Yeah it appears to be entirely proximity based. Otherwise this wouldn't work 😃
@@oab what for like 6 months I interpreted the platform change as they need to be grounded. Dammit
Going to totally use this video to make a copy of the breed, high in the sky
can feed them on a high raised ground and the piggies will fall along the ramp to the digged hole.
Hey, I'm a new player and I'm looking to get boar meat faster. I like this design and was wondering if building a structure around this to make it look better would mess it up at all? Second question, does building two of these increase the rates or does the games limit the number that can be born at a time?
You would need supports to make the structure more sturdy if you plan on adding more, but it shouldn't mess up the spawning, just dont cover floor in the bottom
@@matthewfritz2540 Any tips for lining the food up? I keep throwing it on the ground but they only eat if I get it just right which means throwing it down like 30 times.
Mine isn't working at all. :( My pigs made one piggy, that grew up in the pen and got stuck up there. Now they won't eat or do anything, and I have no idea why.
Could be several reasons. Send me some screenshots on discord.com/Broadbent so I can help you fix it 🙂
It's bizarre, but.. it works and i love it, ty
So I built this, and first off, it works great 90% of the time. The question I have, is when I setup the dropped food, it seems that the boars become unable to reach after a little bit. Is this something to do with me leaving the area and things rendering back in? Anyone had this experience?
Yea kinda got a similar problem. Platform's all ready and stuff but for some reason the boars are not eating. Jumped over and put the food inside their box where they can easily reach it but still they're not touching the berries/mushrooms.
I've built the exact build, however my boars breed extremely slow, they goes days without one popping out. Am I doing something wrong? I do have a roof over the breeders heads, but that's all I've done different.
It seems like the boars only produce offspring when I get close to them . The food doesn't appear to be the issue as when I'm close they make piggies. Do boars not breed unless someone is somewhat close to them?
yeah check the wiki, its like 64 meters or something.
Does this work on xbox?
I guess this is useful for servers of 6+ players but in a solo session a simple boar pen yields more than enough resources and it's more realistic.
I build this pretty early because it's a good source of leather scraps, it helps progress faster. If you keep the meat the farm isn't necessary later on, but early game it's pretty useful
Step: 7 rebuild after flying monster attacks :S
I just finished implementing this, although because of my own stupidity in knocking it down, I ended up supporting the platforms with four 2x2 stone pillars, reinforced with iron wood beams, although I needed to leave out the pillars where it would have blocked off the piglet chute. The pigs were intensely frustrating to get into the pens as well, although I managed it eventually.
My ingame food yield has not been anywhere near high enough recently, so I am taking steps to change that. I wish there was a way I could build spawning pools for leeches; then I would be completely set.
I didnt even know you could tame the boar, i need to try.
Good news, it still works in the play testing for world modifications
Brooo i just finished and as soon as i go to destroy the bridge... i destroyed the pen thats carrying my two boars. fml
Ok super confused. Some comments from a month ago say it still works. Some from same time period say it doesn’t. I just built mine now 9/16/2023 and it’s been 5 in game days, still no baby boars. The adults DO eat though. When I go check them they are “Tame, Happy”, not Hungry. What gives?
So I've been using carrots, do I need to keep restocking the carrots if I have a workbench close by?
Any thoughts on making these Drake and Bat proof ?
i just watched this and tried doing it, but for some reason the wolves and boar doesnt want to eat, any tips on how to fix this?
same please help
YAY! Glad you're back!
Effective sure but very gamey. Happy to build standard pens.
I followed everything but when i add the portal and take off the Ramp, the portal flooring breaks and so does the portal. Any idea what I could have done wrong?
Можно строить рампу с дыркой по середине и затаскивать кабана с помощью гарпуна! :)
Still Works 30/June/2024, can place boar and wolf next to each other and work as well.
Thanks broadbent, do you have any plans to start a playthrough again? Maybe with a challenge like the spartan challenge, no chest and leg armor and only spears or atgeir. Let us know 🥺
For Valheim? Not decided yet, though i think i'd enjoy it
@@oab cool! Well I hope to see it in the future 😊
This is some OG minecraft design.
Do you need to be near the farm for it to work?
We are having an issue where the boars will decide to turn around and get half stuck in the hole and will no longer eat when hungry.
I just set this up inside my base and I love it, for the wall to block them in, does it have to be a full wall, or can it be half?
Late reply but I actually don’t recommend using the full wall, instead replace it with a wooden door to guarantee the boars eat through the wall and the food lands in front of them
Do you need to be close for this to spawn babies or can I voyage away and it will still function
Built this, and it works great in the Mistlands update. However, I got the "You Have Stirred the Cauldron" Bat Raid shortly thereafter and they flew up and buttblasted my breeder boars along with 90% of the livestock below. Any tips on protecting against this?
works like a charm ty
Hmm not working for me. Did it get patched? I did dig down into a bit of a hole around my foundation. Not sure if that would affect it...
I built this for both my boars and wolves, but my wolf pups don't fall through like the boars do. Any suggestions?
For the wolves its working perfectly. For the board they are not facing the wall, but the hole.
Then you probably built it wrong. They do that when the floors are placed incorrectly
I thought that this kind of breeders didn't work after hearth and home, that they needed to be touching the ground. Have they changed that?
They don't need to touch the ground and never did. This is a new design that works just as well
After a period of time, my wolves / boars end up falling below out of the enclosure. Is there a way to stop this?
When I put the boars in there they dont pressup against that wall they press up against the back half wall that has the hole under it and wont eat the carrots
nice, i build it like you said. ty
I made this and sometimes the piggies end up getting stuck on the breeding area. Is there a way to fix this?
Wonder, this possible for a Lox farm?
