PIGS VANISHED FROM POKE!

[genosound]

so my wife and the farming ladies say get us FERTILIZER!! so i figure a quick run over to the animal huts and fix some delicious manure right up for future flavorful cabbage!

welp theres this huge hog laying on his side on the ramp and in the doorway...he wont move and the female is against him lower on the ramp. i squeeze and jump and run. no dice cant get that black gold. so i do a run to town etc and come back and the hog still there, i actually ride the donkey through him! AHA! now i am inside the pen...but it says no room to dismount lol GOOD LORD! OK then i had enough! So i go to the far side and punch a hole through the wicker. get the manure, run off.

So later not sure if its next day wife tells me the pen needs fixing lol...welp go back to the pen. good sign no hog with fat butt stuck in doorway. fix it and notice hey no manure...hmmn then look says i got no pigs! so out about 4 which is about what that stinking herald wanted for the kings war as well. NOBLES zeesh.

Anyway dunno if leaving pen un repaired overnight maybe or jumping all on him made him disapear with lady pig OR he wasnt feeling so well and went to bacon heaven and took lady with him. dont think they where old enough to both croak and she was at least a few months younger.

Is is a mystery for you virtual pig detectives out there.

maybe put a back door in the poke of pig lol.

Destroying the wall of the pigsty meant it was no longer a "completed" building. No pigsty = no pig :-(

i figured lol thank you mark. lesson learned. that's why i didn't try that out at first.

welp i then go with needs another hatch to access the place lol I had no close enough save to figure out when it happened

bought couple piglets this time.

2 pigs btw dunno why everyone says a lot manure...they aren't enough for my fields .

Yep had the same. You could just sell him.
if you break in then you need to reassign the pig to that pen.
You can wait till he sleeps and then go in and get manure use ESC then Unstuck.
My big fella went outside. I eventually sold him.
Enter maintinence then select farm animals select pigs and then you can sell him.

Actually a quick test shows that I was entirely wrong

I just knocked down a wall on my sty and slept a night and I still have all my pigs, they just slept outside and complained about having no home and no food.

Two pigs is not a lot, to be fair, but you'll get more manure if you have a worker assigned to look after them.

[genosound]

oh wow thanks juanitta and mark . i thought about the unstuck but didnt know what it would do. i didn't know u get more manure with a worker?! i thought it just made it automatic...

lol well mark imma confused i think i got the same warning and went there to find they vamos ed

was hgoping for piglets to get the manure train going had them 2 years as adults i think ...lol now i am waiting for the 900 coin piglets to grow up. i do wish i had sold him hope i can find that menu when i need it!

If the pigs were homeless when the season changed then they will disappear. If it was overnight WITHIN the same season then they will not.

The manure on the floor is a small amount that regenerates over time that is there for the player to pick up. This was introduced in response to players requests to be able to gather animal created resources without having an NPC assigned to the individual animal house. By the way you will also find a small amount of manure in the sheep/goat, cow, donkey and horse buildings.

Your animal breeder NPC assigned to the pig house will be able to gather a massive amount of manure when you have adult pigs who are fed. The amount they can gather will be dependent upon both the number of adult pigs and the NPCs farming level.
If your pigs are starving/hungry then I believe the NPC will still be able to gather some manure but at a reduced amount.

Totally correct!

As for pigs blocking the doorway in the evening. I noticed in my game that when one type of animal blocks the doorway, it's like that for all my animals. Meaning, when the pigs are blocking the doorway, the sheep are doing the same, and the chickens etc. What works for me most of the time, is squeezing by the chickens into their building. (They are small enough to jump over or shimmy sideways next to) If i then press Racimir close enough against the nests and move around a bit, the chickens that are stuck suddenly start spawning on top of their nests. And when that happens, the other animals are suddenly unstuck too and I can go into the pigs pen as well.
Doesn't work all the time, but let's say 95% of the time.

Of course punching them also works but is pretty unpleasant, it would be nice if we had a way of giving them a shove that does not actually send them screaming away in a trail of blood.

And it would be even better if the devs could find a way of not letting them all get stuck in the first place

[Morri]

Agreed!

[genosound]

wow mark you can punch em?

i always try to push stuff like bandits to get arrow back or dead animal but you cant...also when trying to shoot scary wisnet tried to use stuff to block the charge but THEY ghost right through all of which is pretty annoying. I think they have stuff mapped at zero thickness or something. I was early player of heroes and generals and you used to be able to have your butt peeking outside wall if you pressed against it on the inside ...then you would get shot in butt by enemy lol. I noticed animals butts do same thing here. the mapping they have does help with everything sliding by generally though...except the occasional tree that sends me flying. collision mostly turned off...pro and cons.

thank you for the chicken tip morri , didnt know that lol hope i remember if i need it.

yeah i gave up needed more poo!!!!!! so noticed apparently piglets hold it in till adult... lol so i went ahead got 2 mature...zeesh rendercube owes me some virtual pigs lol ;)

HEY MORRI THE GREAT CHICKEN DANCE WORKED!!! lol i went into match last night after reading your post and it occurred lol! had 4 pigs double stacked in doorway. did the chicken dance on top of the nests hard to get by roosters and ladies blocking that door too..and it worked. then it happened again did it didn't work so went back to chicken dance and it worked!

ALL HAIL THE POWER OF THE CHICKEN DANCE!!! pro tip!

[genosound]

ps didnt see the chickens spawn on nests though i feel robbed lol

[Morri]
