chicken coop guide

[sED`]

im not writting a guide but maybe somebody out here knows how to place down a chicken coop and it does not say "unreachable".

i have placed it on the ground and ontop of foundations. nothing seams to work. so obviously im missing something because this alone is getting me to the point im going to throw away 2,000 hours of this game and not look back. placing a building should not be a convulated process. which is probably what my answer is going to be. why cant i can put the chicken coop on the ground, surround it by fences, put my chickens in and be happy? why can i not do that? do i have to use certain material for foundation? does it have to be dirt, why can i not use concrete? where in any capacity would i find that information in game? is it in such fine print like the mount details when calling them down. not everybody has 40" wide screen curved monitors like you developers. we cant see the levels, names, we can only tell the type of mound it is based on the picture.

was starting to rebuild my stables. have a nice big walkway and a area to gather all mounts seperated by character ownage. very big... all i want. is the dam chicken coop to work. it has never worked since its release. but i feel im forced to abandon all my time effort and energy put into the entire base all because of one building. the only place its going to end up working will be the middle of the compound or something absolutly stupid. makes no sense.

just fix the dam building. remove the 'modifier' entirely. just let the chickens drops eggs off as long as they are within a certain range. i do not understand what yout intentions or desires are with this convulated ass system

screenshots on my profile show dirt foundation, concrete foundation (with interior wood floors ontop), and no foundation.

im out of ideas.

pointless building anyway. all it does is collect eggs?

The "unreachable" issue has been a personal head-scratcher for me. What I keep finding is that whether I place the chikin coops on flat-ish, bare ground or a large-enough floor (with or without a foundation), it always gives me the warning.

My goofy, little hen eats food and drinks water, and eventually lays 3 or 4 eggs any place she feels like. Only a very few times has she gone into the coop and used her invisible nest box to plop liquid-chikins from her cloaca, encased in calcium-carbonate.

yep, same for me, try to build both type of chicken coop, same issue. It Works one time but after restarting the game, warning reappear. I gave up for me it's a bug, will see if it's work in few patchs

They're purchased from the workshop, and you have to ship them down frozen in a pod. You place them like a deployable, then activated it, and out pops a chicken.
