Since when can animals pass doors ?

[Pyrostone]

I'm getting mad. my animals have now the ability to pass my doors, as if they were human. Which makes it incredibly difficult to deal with them. the only way to keep them inside is to entirely close their space with fencing. No door, no portal, no nothing, only fencing. which means that if you ever have to bring a new animal in, you have to break said fencing, and so allowing the other animals to escape. because the game teels you that he can't find any accessible space for the new animal as the other one is closed. i'm getting insane. how in the world can a horse open a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ door ???

are you by any chance building in a ruin and forgot to claim the already existing doors?

Any door that existed on map gen is passable to animals until you claim it. Pen animals cannot open doors that you own, trainable animals can if you control the animal.

Some mods may change this e.g. the locks mod.

They always could?

There is a reason i love the lock doors spell.
Currently playing on modded and damm the game is missing so many stuff you expect there to be just in by default.
Like locks or being able to order a pawn to do research.

If you tame animals you can just create a zone where they are allowed to move then asign them to that zone.

Use fence gates on your enclosures, not doors - they're right next to the fence in the structure menu

Doors work just fine, gates are cheaper though.

Pyro - are the animals ones that need to be penned, or ones that need to be zoned? Work out which, and make sure either the pen or the zoned area have been set up.

In a penned area they will not pass through the pen door/gate.

In a zoned allowed area they will pass through doors/gates, but will stay inside that zoned area.

ity's about a pened zone. And yes they do. I have my pen panel, which effectively highlight the zone I chose, and yet my animals keep roaming everywhere if I let one gate anywhere on their fence. they even enter my base, which has a door.

here is a picture for anyone wondering about my pen zone :
