Help with cows

[joshmail_1999]

I have my large base I put a lot of work into but can't find the new cow pets, I have been going through the azeous wilderness and have not seen any of the new biome, I read something that said that is where they are supposed to spawn, has anyone found these? Also how do you get the cows to your base in the middle will they teleport?

New biome won't take effect if you've already explored the dirt and azeos biomes. They won't replace already revealed areas. Dunno if that helps. I haven't been able to find any of the new biome areas in any of the unrevealed spots in my game either.

Can confirm the new biome does spawn in Azeos' Wilderness.

As for getting the cattle back to main base - prepare for a long and arduous journey, fraught with danger. I had to lead a few all the way with a Mushroom in my hand. Sadly I did lose one (accidentally clubbed it in the face with a pickaxe while making my way around a chasm).

Edit: I had to go out quite far as my Wilderness exploration reaches out a fair distance.

Far enough for me to be seriously considering rebuilding my home world on a new map.

I've found 2 instances of the new biome so far, but the trek back to base with something as fragile as a Moolin or Bambuck is treacherous to say the least... I'm 1 for 5 so far... a losing battle considering how long it's taken to find the new biome instances. Then ofc I'll need to do it all again, but crossing the desert to get my grubby paws on Strolly Poly, I'm guessing I'd be lucky to get 1 in 10 back alive.

On the plus side, I did find one of the new structures and in it was a Giant Mite valuable that I've been searching for for a LONG time.

that is what I was worried about

AND your new pets friendly fire them

[Echoreapethor]

pets shouldn't kill them

AND block movement... very much best to un-equip the pet before attempting such a long and dangerous journey.

Good fun trying it a couple of times tbh, but I'm not sure I've got the patience to endure the task again, knowing it would be sooooo much easier to start fresh and grab the cattle from less demanding areas.

[Echoreapethor]

it would be nice to have a calf that we could take a into our innovatory for faster transpiration/world hoping.

I'm not sure I'd change anything about the spawning or locations tbh, it's just unfortunate that those of us that have spent far too long in a single world and explored vast chunks have a major challenge ahead to obtain a healthy herd size.

After chatting to you guys I'm slowly starting think it's one of few worthy challenges remaining.

Or, maybe I'm feeling masochistic.

ok

I've only done a little testing on that front (maybe an hour or 2), but it doesn't seem like they do.

well.. the new materials from the cattle just replace items in current recipies mosly for armor so if youve cleared the map you might not need anything from them on your existing worlds

no new items with their materials just made it annoying to make existing items
