Animals escaping zones

[jeffersondh8755]

Not sure why, but my animals are escaping the zones created. No zombies around, shouldn't have a need to be stressed, but they are. I removed a zone and created a new one of different size and all my animals started escaping. I created a second zone to house different animals and everything went to crap. The chicks and baby rabbits just wonder right through the chain link fencing. The pigs outright destroyed my wooden fence I just created. I keep moving animals, picking up or with rope, back to their respective zones and fenced areas, but they keep leaving. No respect I tell you. Again, they are all stressed or agitated, but there shouldn't be any reason why. Anyone having issues such as this and how to stop this? It took time getting all the animals in the first place and just started to get started farming the animals and now I feel like it's all for nothing. Also, so difficult to just pick up a specific animal from the list of them when you right click.

Lol pigs i think need stronger fence, its pretty realistic theyre destructive as heck , i wonder if petting them helps them stop

Creating a new zone made all my non stressed animals wander too, right out of the metal fences. I had a wild caught rabbit that just bolted but for some reason then came back? lol. I accidentally squished a chick too. :( It was foggy and I couldn't see the poor little dear. At least I know that when you butcher a chick all you get is the head for some brain tan and a chick skull. It really messed them up having more than one zone so I just deleted them all and made just one big zone. To help the animals make sure to clean all the dung/droppings and to clean out any hutches.

Running player or meta shouts/gunfire can also agitate.

Update - wishing I had just left things alone lol. So after spending quite a while trying to get animals back where they belong and failing...I go back to my house to sleep when all of a sudden my fps goes down to 2-4. I've spent the last 2 hours trying to figure out why. Removed all mods, lowered settings even more, etc. I finally realize the rabbits I had had multiplied by like a thousand or more in an instant. That's why everything slowed down to nothing. And I can't get debug mode to load for me so I'm trying to figure that out to see if I'm able to somehow fix this.

There is a command that removes all animals from your game, but, well, you will lose all the animals.
Search on the internet, I really don't remember how it works.

So, have you killed any animals near others? This happened to me when I did this, and then I realized it was a mistake. Another reason could be hygiene. Are you keeping the area clean? Do you have enough space for all of them, enough food and water?

Yep, everything was find, clean area, clean hutch, lots of food and water, no killings, no zombies. No idea what happened.
