Moveable Water Pen?

[UncleRabb]

Has anyone attempted, or ben able to create a "raft" moveable water pen? From what I noticed trying to make one with Advanced Rafts, the water creatures, when not on follow, clip through walls. They give no cares for walls.

Any ideas, or just not capable at all.

Wonder if we can make a mod like this:

I found this but it could be outdated.

No way afaik. They will always clip through when you move.

That's what I figured. There'd have to be a mod that added a sling. Thanks guys.

Rafts always clip through things.. even when structures are built on them.

This is typically why building on water is a bad idea.. someone can build an armored raft covered in turrets.. drive right up to your base.. glitch into your walls.. plant C4.. pull away and blow a hole in the side of your base and there is nothing you can do to stop them.

It's one of the cheapest raid methods I've seen online..

Yeah I was noticing that with advanced Rafts. I could make a stupid long raft, and it just clips through everything till it gets to the raft itself.

I believe, and could be incorrect at this point, that as long as the raft is NOT moving, then the creatures will respect the walls and not clip through them. However if the raft IS moving, then they will all clip through the walls (and raft). So you could build a mobile taming pen, as long as it is stationary when you are using it, but not a transport pen.

Your ownly option would be to try to make your own mod as nothing currently would accomodate what you want with a raft like structure.

As an alternative, you can consider using one of those pokeball mods or similar that lets you store dinos and then release as wanted or needed. This would give you the portability at the least.

I've done that for land creatures.. though they do sometimes glitch through the walls and fall into the water XD

Think the most I ever transferred on the same raft was..
A Parasaur, Pachyrhino, Megaloceros, 3 Dung Beetles, a Dilo, a Gigantopithicus, 2 Ankylos, 2 Penguins, 2 Dodo's and a Doedicurus..

This was when I was shipping my dinos from my Snow biome base to my Red Obby base..
The Parasaur and Pachyrhino fell out once each along the way XD
That was a huge relocation job though.. had to make 3 raft trips.. one flyer trip.. one swimming trip and 2 walking convoy trips to get all my tames from one base to another.

yeah if not moving, they obey the walls. once moving, clips. I'm on somone elses server, so I can't add anything, unless I make that new one, I'm sure they would. but other than that, I have to do with what I have, and I don't have anything useful. Thanks for all the help guys.
