Brahmin randomly dying

[=яενєηąŋŧ=]

So I bought a bunch of Brahmin from Kelly for Sanctuary to farm up fertilizer for my ammo factory, but when I got back from a scavenging run one of them was lying dead next to the feed trough. Was planning on getting a bunch more, but I'm worried I'll be wasting caps if this keeps happening. Has anyone else had this problem?

I had some die but that's probably because I brought some to the glowing sea since I'm trying to make a habitable settlment there. All settlers need rad suits, otherwise they'll get knocked down.

Using a settle-anywhere mod? I was under the impression that NPCs didn't take environmental rad damage.

As far as the dead Brahmin goes, I haven't had any attacks and.it was in Sanctuary, nowhere near any rads. All I can think of is either random glitch or the fact that I didn't have any settlers yet. Do Brahmin need food?

Probably that moldy food your feeding them?

I think I figured out what was causing it. When you've got a bunch of Brahmin all clustered together around the feed trough, they get stuck on each other trying to get to it. Since they can't path successfully, teleport kicks in, which usually drops them on top of the other Brahmin. Occasionally one will randomly die from this, like the "death by car" glitch.

Solution is to have multiple feed troughs and space them out. One for every two Brahmin, plus one extra seems to be the magic number.

It is normal just use cages to catch brahmin then release them

I've got Kelly camped out permanently right down the road and she has a new one for sale every time I walk by, so even easier.
