Companion items

[Ryuchan]

So I made the house, the toys and the floor feeder intending them for my companion, Tua. But when it came to interacting (with the house, don't think the others had an interaction) I had the choice of any four of the other critters... but NOT Tua?
But, but, my li'l piggy! I thought he'd get a little house of his own!
Does it not work that way, or is it just Tua it won't work for?

have you tried scrolling up? i went to check and it seems the critter list on that item doesnt actually start at the top and you have to scroll up manually to see the rest. couldnt find the purple bunny on mine for a while until i tried that haha.

If the Tua is your active companion it wont work. Try removing him as a companion and then you'll be able to select him :)

All companions I have unlocked were available but I also don't have any active companions with me.

Oh! Yes he was my active companion at the time. So if I uncheck him as companion and try again it will work? But if I then make him my companion again, will he use the things? Or does that automatically remove him?

This all sounds to me like it would be possible to build little houses/feeders/toys and place in the biomes for the critters there to use, those that aren't my companion. If so it is rather a shame we couldn't have a few color options.

I'd say color options may come later like with the chests.

Aa, true. So better to hold off on making one for my darling foxes and turtles then, in hopes that we'll get color options that better suit their biomes.

I have the royal fox and it just walked past it all.

I made the food bowl for indoors too and then could not find it in furniture.

Ok I feel a little dense but I have chosen the companions for the house many times. I don't see a way to register the choice and any button I push just cancels the choices. What am I missing? I am playing with a controller and I've had problems with menu pieces no showing in the past. Maybe that?

So I tried something with mine.

I removed Tua as my companion and then interacted with the pet house. Sure enough, Tua was one of the options. So, since we get to pick up to four critters for a house (and I had placed this pet house right beside my character's house, like you would a dog house :P), I picked Tua, the evil dark squirrel, and two of the squirrels I'd befriended.
Then as I started playing I chose Tua as my companion again. That removed him from the house, I think, because he does not interact with any of these things at all.

The squirrels however swarm out of that house when I start playing now, and mostly seem to stick around the house. I haven't seen them do anything at all with the food bowl, but the two toys, well... they don't actually play with them or touch them, they just walk up to them and do the excited animation.

Yeah, the feeding animation, again. Don't know what I expected, honestly. Can I just get to at least feed Tua something small from time to time?

How do you choose a companion for the house?

I put out the dog house, windmill and ball, and the pet walked by all without caring.

I crafted the doggy bowl. I was going to put the bowl indoors, but can't find it in furniture.

interact with the dog house and you can choose from your list of collected critters to place there max is only 4 you can have allocated to the dog house
