Pig pen

[draconacticus]

Has anyone managed to successfully pen in a boar? I tried making a fenced area around roughly where it was spawning on my home island using crude spears only to find it could run right through them.

I'm inundated with leather and fed up of the fat swine messing up my piles of stuff.

You could try to build a wall.
Seriously: foundations, walls, a door.
If the terrain lets you do that.

Other than that i don't think it's possible. Everything you could move they probably can, too.
Haven't tested those red container walls, but they're hard to come by.

You could move to another island; the smaller ones don't have boar spawns.

That's what I was thinking of trying next... build it so there is no foundation under the spawn site, like a walled garden.

Nope. My home island has my beautiful cliff top home. Not an option.

Aye. Half walls should suffice. Don't forget that door, though.

If I had to make a guess, it would be that you won't be able to keep it fenced in and it will find a way to glitch through whatever you try to put up...

Interested in the results though.... good luck

Honest question: If all else fails, can't you just put your stuff where the swine can't mess w/ it? (I'm visualizing building a storage hut or some such, & wondering if that would be a problem.)

I placed my supply boxes on a very high platform

Most of my stuff is in boxes in my beautiful Rapunzel clay tower which links up to the cliff top dwelling. I just get irritated when I'm unloading crates after my latest island clearance and a giant pig rams me from out of the darkness. I still have a few piles of stuff I haven't got round to tidying yet... fibrous leaves, rocks, sticks.

What I'm hoping I'll be able to do is fence the boar in. I still want it to spawn so I can harvest him when needed, but just not be a nuisance. Other than him, the island is perfect... the giant crabs spawn in little circles of rock so they can't get out and the only snake on the island is permanently stuck in a bowl shape depression in the sea.

I quite like the idea of a pig pen overall. Something to fatten up on scraps, nurture... and then murder for bacon and lederhosen when supplies are low. At the moment though I am swimming in leather and pork chops.

Not lying, you got me at lederhosen.

Honestly, I can't understand why my dude is still in a tattered business suit after 150 days when he has so much leather he could look like a Judas Priest photo shoot.

Damn, i just spilled my beer. Slurping that back up could've been an option when i wouldn't have two cats...

In one of Agoork islands, I think it's The Hub, he created an enclosed area; he made a short video showcasing that island, you might have a look and see what he did. Clever.
He left an opening in the metal fence, but you could just close it all and the pig won't be able to get out.
When I landed, the pig was actually inside (meaning, I think, that the enclosure is its spawn point), but of course once I chased him round he got to the opening and ran like a fiend out in the bushes lol.
