hey how to keep mount safe from predators?

[VladK02]

My first try taming a mount.

I bring a baby to my farm... and a jaguar nabs it while im not looking.

I had like a 2x3 pen with wooden fenses out next to my house, and a 2x2 stone shed for the bed. So, the baby was able to jump over those wooden half-fences and was just kind of roaming. And the jag nabbed it while it was 'outside'. Do i build a full stone enclosure on stilts?

Whats best way?

Build a pen out on a body of water and use stone bases. Build a walkway with ramps you need to climb and jump down to your mount. When you want to leave just open a gate and swim.

Wait till you get the mount fully fledged adult.. take it for a spin and realize it is the worst thing they ever added.. lol.. horses in Minecraft are better than these.

Although I did not ever have one get killed but I put mine in a stone house.. 3x3 held all three of my babies till they grew up just fine.

Built my new pet a castle out of stone. Lets see wolves get through 2 layers of stone walls.

Well, a 16-slot 600kg pack mule is not garbage... can make a decent cargo truck to move bases for example. or to mine out a cave completely in one go.

Sounds like a fortress to the likes of a geyser defense with auto turret machine guns are needed to house a mount.

Well if you get past housing the thing is it dies riding it any way. My wife went out in snow and said the buffalo wouldn't jump to get over the chasms. The buffalo got stuck in the crack and died. Unstuck isn't an option. I rode my mount to a cave sight from base where the mount was well fed, sleep, and happy, and the stupid bird died in a storm on the way back from the cave of starvation. At first I thought it was the storm exposure but I built ramp shelter over the pet pinning it to the cliff under shelter. The bird said not happy low health and starving. Then it died. Well that wasn't useful as a mount.

Does it surprise anyone that the mount system was made half assed?

LOL that "pack mule" is the definition of garbage.. lol it is so slow.

If you have the Inaris "Neves" Pickaxe you will never have to worry about how full you are... I carried 30 stacks of exotics 6 sectors to my drop ship in like maybe 10 mins.. and it was as if I was running with zero debuff... even completely filled up you can make 2,3,4 trips to and from an area faster than with that slow ass pack animal.. lol.
