Forbiding animals or certain people from using doors?
Is such a thing possible? So far any question I found similar to this had the response to assign animals to zones. However doesn't that then apply only to tamed animals, but not wild ones? My problem is that I don't want wild animals to be able to use my door. I constantly have tamed animals returning to nature and wandering to the other end of the map, so I wanted to constrict them by building them in with only doors that humans can use to access them.

Wild animals cannot use doors, unless they're left open by your pawns.

Alright thanks. So just enclosing my area with walls and doors should work.

"...tamed animals returning to nature..." sounds like they are becoming wild again?

If so, you can raise the priority of your animal trainer so that he keeps them tamed. All animals require some effort from the handler to keep them from going wild again. The amount of effort to keep them tamed is determined by the animals 'Wildness' statistic.

Or, maybe you got them tamed and do not have a handler yet so they are going wild.

If that's the case I seem to have too many animals overall thanks to breeding.

I do have 2 people with a higher priority on handling animals with a third one with a lower priority. Yet there still seems to be an animal going wild again every other day.

My main issues are the turkeys who I'd have thought would be easier to tame and keep with their 45% wildness. The only animals with a comparatively high wildness that I've tamed are boomalopes.

I cannot find any specific setting to prioritise taming animals which are close to becoming wild again.

I frequently have a problem with my horses breeding then I forget to set them to be trained so when wild horses appear on the map I lose 1-3 young horses to the herd. I wont let that ♥♥♥♥ slide so my solution is putting horse meat on the menu when it happens. Send a message to your turkeys and do the same, hell put the butcher table in their barn and make them watch.

So I can't stop tame animals (I don't mind cats and dogs) but think horses and larger creatures I should be able to stop them from coming into a building.

Is there no way to do this, the learning center seems to hint that I can forbid colonists and tame animals from using a door, so the question is how do I just forbid tame animals from using a door but not the pawns themselves?

Use zones to contain them.

Or, you can use the "Locks" mod.

You should use zoning actively. Like zones for pets, guard animals, couple of ranches, feeding zone and emergency enclosure.

If you are not going to use zoning then you cant avoid all kind of chaos in your base.

a common mistake is to fail to claim ruin doors, this allows rats etc to walk through your doors
as they dont belong to you
