Tamed Pets

[Valasaur]

Please, make it so that the tamed non-combat pets cannot be killed by enemies. I really enjoy the game and was super excited when I saw you could tame pets. 5 of the last 205 hours of play time I spent setting up a section of my base as a farm, and taming 2 yaks, 2 goats, 2 birds, one fae deer, and one hophare, and getting materials to feed them. I had just returned from taming the hophare, fae deer, and a frizzy goat, placed them all down, pet them, made sure they ate their food and had beds, when a red bird came up over the hill and went straight for my farm. It got stuck on the building I'd built to put the beds in so I hopped on top of it to kill it and when I hopped back down, ALL OF MY PETS had been slaughtered. All that work, gone. I almost cried. I logged out right then and there and I don't know when or if I will be logging back in. Obviously, when I do I will build something wherever that stupid bird spawns so that it doesn't happen again.
But I'd really love it if that just... wasn't something that could happen in the first place.

"red bird", you mean like the ones in the kindlewastes? You could make a completely enclosed sanctuary, but you could also not build an animal farm where flying enemies exist.... like the Springlands, or Revelwood. I built mine in the Springlands and they are completely safe, because they're aren't any flying enemies. I get your frustration with taking so much time to make a nice, cozy home for the cute lil babes but.... why were they so close to where flying enemies spawn? Or did you think the red birds would be friendly with your pets because they're friendly with you? {if u have the skill unlocked} Even then, the beasts that are friendly you've probably already seen kill the random animals. Seems fair to already have assumed they'd kill your pets just the same. Unfortunate, but predictable.

Thanks for the reply. I thought that my flame was located close enough that it would not spawn. They were not friendly to me, but I had not had a problem with them until I built my farm, which I guess was just too close to the spawn. I'm aware that yes the aggressive animals attack the non-aggressive ones in the wild, I honestly was just heartbroken and frustrated to lose all of that work. I guess it's more of a warning to others and less of a "fix this" because yeah, now I know better. Doesn't change how frustrating it was.

If you can upgrade the flames build area, on a fresh start I was having shrouded and wolves regularly visiting until my build zone was the upgrade beyond the one I planned to build to.
