Animal Pen Question

[Truthowl]

When you tame a creature in the animal pen it then allows us the gain certain resources, usually Dung. But it appears once you remove a tamed creature from the pen, we cannot put them back in. When I try it goes into the inventory of the Pen. How do we put them back in?

I got a couple Rocknoses from the meteor's of the halloween event and they seem to occassionally make crystal.

are you using pickup mod? you cant put them back in if you are, only ones that have never been placed

[Truthowl]

ahhh yeah I am using that mod. Is there any workaround that you know of?

[Wyldewoode]

i dont think there is one, i cant seem to find anything in forums either

[Truthowl]

Yeah and removing the mod does not then allow you to load your pet up. But oh well, I'd rather have the ability to move things around more than the ability to put pets back in the animal pen.

Although.... now that I think of it maybe if I empty my pen and pick it up the log out, then back in without the mod and place it it might work... Worth a try anyway.

Wait a minute... Just tried it after disabling pickup+. I emptied all animals and food then tried to pick up the Pen and it let me. even thoug the mod is disabled. So i quickly replaced it and tried loading my animals inside. All loaded just fine except my rocknose. He goes to the inventory. And all this is with the mod disabled.

I'm wondering, can rocknoses be stabled in the first animal pen? As eggs they could be but maybe not the animals themselves?

Rocknoses can be left in the Pen after they have matured. I have 5 in one that I'm feeding Rock and getting Goldstone randomly. Not sure about the egg thing though. I thought the timer on their eggs stopped when you put them in the Pen. At least it stopped displaying when I did, but it might have continued invisibly.

No, I think you misunstood me. As an egg I put them in my compost to speed hatching up. They hatched and I put them in my lvl 1 animal pen. They tamed just fine. But then I removed them from the pen and could not put them back in. @Arthwipe said that it's because of the mod pickup+.

I disabled the mod and still could not put the rocknoses back inside the lvl1 AP. However I could add my other pets back into the AP.

So my question ended up being 'Can you put a mature Rocknose tamed pet back inside the lvl1 AP?' From some of the things I've read I got the impression that rocknoses can't be put inside a lvl1 AP. It requires, I think, a lvl2 AP or higher. But that information might be dated. I know I can tame them in the lvl1 AP. Just not sure they will go back in there once removed after they mature and we deployed them.
