Taming wolves immposible

[Generolas121]

Tried taming wolves for an hour, yet the wolves do not interact or notice with any carcass making unable to feed them thus to raise their bar, tried replacing the bait when captured and pretty much every other suggestion i could find

I just created the snare... baited with wolf bait. Snared a wolf then sneak up behind it and drop a carcass behind it and back away. took 2 boars and then I pet and tamed it.

I just created the snare, baited it for wolf, snared a wolf and sneak up behind it. Feed it 2 boar carcasses maybe 2-minutes?... then pet it and tamed.

I have a similar problem with a boar now, animals sometimes don't see the dropped carcasses during taming, the previous times it was enough to throw the carcass a couple of times and the animal would start eating it, but today I've thrown it more than 20 times and it doesn't help..., it looks like something broke with taming

I have found that they seem to get "stuck" in certain animations/phases/poses. The only way I found that works is I intentionally aggravate it and make it bite me. then run away. Then it will calm down and eat.

This used to help, but last time I repeated it more than 20 times, nothing helped

Anyway once tamed, it's either follow or wander (no stay), then when staying in base, it dies to anything that gets close. So far 10+ dead tamed wolves not a single one survived more than a few hours, so you can at least feel better about it : you are not missing anything useful :)

Well, I wouldn't say so, they just need to be pumped up a bit: first of all - the vampire, secondly - the armor, after that my wolf single-handedly kills the brown bear, this is a very good solution for defending the base, I placed the wolves in the corners of the base in aggressive mode, and they fight off all attacks in automatic mode

OK... it's like I'm playing a different game here and in some respects I sort of am. I never played the campaign I only ever played open world. I have no issues with keeping anyone alive, I send them back and forth to other planets and campaigns. Thing at this point is I'm not sure if this is a bug or a misunderstanding in game mechanics so I'll explain my setup.

* Assuming you have it snared, tamed, owned, even recently following... *
If you make a "Hitching post" place an (auto) feed and water and 2 animal beds around it.
And now using the rope to attach to the hitching post / or leading the animal and setting it to wander they will happily stay and survive within a radius as long as no other animal kills them.

My preferred method of defence is a half dozen birds set to stay on aggressive... I mean it's almost horrific how fast they are the bears sometimes don't get there before it's over... Sheep never notice a thing... keep your boars on a leash until sending back up to the station and bring them back down in a waste land with nothing and enjoy the resources and defense.

Now, as to the *bug* about taming I simply do not have the issue and should it occur I'll be equally upset because I love bacon on a mineral rich nightmare.

the issue is that it does not eat, did you read what was posted, i litteraly at one point had over 10 corpses near it, and watched it from afar for maybe half an hour and the wolf did jack all. I did not hit the wolf, the wolf was new, the bait was new the snare was new. the wolf had no other animal nearby and did not see me as i as too far away to be considered a threat to him.

My friend, I have read and re-read your issues and I may have found the solution to your problem.

Such as yourself, I too have experienced that same issue when I tried to tame Wolves at an Industrial Scale by placing multiple wolf snares near each other.

Well.. That's apparently the issue.. The Bait from the other nearby wolf snares is attracting the already snared wolf and that prevent the snared wolf from eating the corpses as they are trying to go toward the other snare traps with the wolf bait.


Solution: Use only one snare trap.


Hope that works for you.

No, there is a problem of some sort at least intermittently where the wolf will get stuck usually at around 33-35% of taming progress and then not proceed. It will say no food in range even if surrounded by carcasses and eventually (like a full game day later) despawns completely without leaving a body behind.

This issue seems to have popped on up on Reddit occasionally in the past as well and seems to be linked to the wolf getting stuck in the terrain in some way (my guess never proven).

As a result I only now try to put my snare on cleared flat ground.
