How does one "park" your tamed Lox?

[对不起我只会说英语]

So I've recently tamed a pair of Lox and is breeding for me and my friends. I kinda want to use one to ride around the area 😄but I was wondering on how to "park" them when I wander off for example? Or if I get an engagement?

My fear is that if I raid a Fuling base for example.. it might wander off or get chased away when it's attacked, along with its saddle. Or worse.. I might get attached to it and feel sad if it runs away, lol.

in a pit or have a gate with a fence

I'm talking about when I go out of the base with my Lox for example, hmmm. So I just bring some wood and then temporarily fence my Lox? Is that what you mean? 🤔

They won't aggro what they can't see. The usual issue with Lox pens is they climb on top of each other and escape, which would be tricky for a single mount.

as the users above say park it in a hole og a gate with a fence.
OR on a tiny island where it just wander around and then you can sail there and pick it up and put it on your ship when you need it.

Dig hole

First, I wouldn't trust any kind of parking. Lox and deathsquitos are too unpredictable.

But if I had to do it, I'd build a barn and remove the workbench afterward so that the lox can't see out, other things can't see in, and the workbench doesn't draw aggro. Probably works best if you have freebuild enabled. There's still a chance that the lox will get excited and destroy the building.

Alright.. Hmm, kinda annoying to "build a barn" or dig a hole each time you need to make a stop, but okay. I guess have no choice if I want to keep my Lox safe when I go out with it.

Lox arent meant to be "parked" in the sense you want to consider as the dont wander too far off unless you grab aggro from something. Thus its why people say that if you insist on riding around and stopping on them frequently, that you'd have to go to the trouble of making permanent or temporary "fencing" for them.

Build up their numbers & let them free roam, I did. They crush everything.

:( well I had to ask. They're pretty cute and fun to run around, haha. Oh well, I have to compromise I guess.

They're roaming around our base which is fully enclosed with walls. My question was how to secure the Lox when I go out with it (assuming I do). Because as far as I know, they panic and run around when threatened, or if I take to long (example, I might be busy clearing a goblin camp), it might move away from its spot.

Not true. The Aggo-ing part - yes they climb like crazy and even 3 high is not unusual.

We have a ridiculously high earthwall around the pen with a moat large enough for trolls to fall in. From inside the lox pen, I can see them all get riled up and start piling up on each other (and/or standing atop a group of wolves - really weird cheerleader tryouts) and then inevitably it will be some little foe in the moat.

Most of the time it's a greyling (our main base is meadow bordering mountains and forest). Until someone goes and kills the darn thing (which often is the wolves outside the compound) the berserk continues.

Oh, in answer to OP's question - make sure you have a lot of lox, because riding one or two out to raid fulings is going to get them killed eventually.

Oh, thanks for the tip, but we have an army of Lox now 🤣 they're roaming around our base. They're surprisingly tanky too! Haven't tested how they'll do against seeker raids, but a calf (at that time, I only had a calf near me) survived against bats! Whereas our boars tend to get wiped.

I just keep a breeding pair in my lox pen in my base and once they make a couple I bring two out to roam around outside my base. I scatter them around to cover different areas and I try to check on them and feed them to heal. Sometimes I catch them and sometimes they die before I get to them.
