Breeding boars

[Mesina]

Is it working? I have watched Videos on YT but all i find was old videos.
I have one boar but he doesnt want to eat.
Is it working for you guys?

them can eat red mushrooms and raspberries , carrots if you already farm them
fire makes them angry , so not build a torch near of them

Im feeding them with mushroom and raspberries but i have built next to fire so thats probably the problem.
Thanks for the fast response!

It takes two to tango.

and for starred tames, it takes 2 of the same star value to produce more of that star value

False. One one-star boar, a stack of food, a butcher's knife and twenty minutes was enough to turn our zero-star boar operation into a one-star. Given the resulting offspring I think the one-star piggies were something like 20% or 30% chance.

I have noticed that taming and possibly breeding don't seem to progress if you are far away.

yes it's working. but there is a thing. if the video you've watched is old, then you need to make a little change to the breeder: now boars\wolves\loxes need a platform to stand on. else they will not eat.

My 2-* Boar farm needs no 'platforms' for them to eat and breed...open dirt surrounded by the cheapo fencing is fine.

Interresting.
I have build normal fence on "dirty" ground and they are now eating since i have removed the fireplace near them but they do not breed.
Very strange.

dirt counts as a platform animals can stand on too, duh.
what i meant: the animals shouldn't float in the air (in old versions of spawners you use 1x2m planc and put all your animals on it. (ideally you rise it ~8m above the ground)

that's strange indeed. as long as they are tamed, fed and there are no more then ...iirc 4 or 6 other animal nearby - they should breed.

i use this setup (no mod version): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2642211838
as you can see by the number of boars below...it's working fine for me.

Thanks everyone for the tips! I have finnaly tamed them and i guess they will start breeding shorty.

Also great boar farm there :-)

thanks. unfortunately it's not that great. if i'd build it again i'll use a pit method instead.
cuz every time mobs come from the forests nearby...boars\wolves go nuts. and once the fence is broken they spread all over the place.

so it's better to build a breeder over a pit, so they couldn't escape.

Thats not true, i had a 1 star and a non star, there was a chance for a star offspring.
So now i only have one stars.

i think the machanics for this is that the child inherit the stars of 1 parent. meaning if 2 x 0stars breed = 100% 0 star offspring no chance for it to be 1 or 2 star. if 1star + 0star breed = 50% that child will be 0 star and 50% that it'll be 1star. 0% chance that it'll be 2star. etc
