Assign Brahmin to what?

[Bella]

Since the last patch, when in workshop mode it now has the option to "assign" Brahmin. But to what? I tried assigning them to their feed troughs, to a seetler etc., but cannot find an answer.
Anyone know?

All the animals (guard dogs, etc) will mistakingly now have the unassigned box.
Guess it's a bug from the new UI changes, but don't worry, the Brahmin will share it's poopy goodness unassigned as well.
So just disregard the info untill it gets fixed, they can't be assigned to anything.

Thanks Aries.

Lol almost thought it was another noob telling me I could assign a brahmin to a specific feeding trough.

I swear, you can even give them their own bed now :P (on the roof)

This wouldn't be such a bad thing, it might actually reduce them clipping outside of fenced off paddocks (even when they have plenty of room)...

I've resorted to placing feed troughs in the middle, as opposed to along the edge, to prevent this...

I'm pretty sure it means if a Provisioner is assigned to one. I glitched my game so that 2 provisioner went to one place, but instead of them both going there one stayed at the settlements still being called a provisioner and was assigned to a brahmin

A provisoner's brahmin and a settlement brahmin is two completely different brahmin.

I saw something on Wiki that suggested that a new DLC is incoming that might have something to do with the animals, as there are cages and meatbags now available to build in settlements. I'm thinking either some kind of arena or maybe more food options from Brahmin and dogs becoming guards. This is totally unconfirmed and only a guess based on what I've read and seen. Obviously it could also just be a bug too.

I'd assume it's so you can tell them to FREAKIN MOVE
THIS DUMB COW WHY ARE YOU ON MY STAIRS!
that kind of thing

Presuming you're not being facetious (and genuinely didn't know), that DLC would be Wasteland Workshop, which released this past week...

In survival mode that could be fatal. My best solution for removing a brahmin cork from a doorway is to fast travel or sleep alot.

Well at least its only brahmin for you...

I have the kid at Somerville Place on guard duty and Wally Warwick running my general store who occasionally shoots attacking raiders with his fully upgraded Gauss rifle.
