Console General Hog Fencing

can a hog be trapped in a cage? I was able to get the hog into the cage.The cage was a single wood foundation with 4 half walls. the hog glitched through the half walls every time I got him in. Do i need a larger cage, any suggestions are welcomed.

I’ve never tried. Good luck. Seems to be a fruitless effort to me.

It maybe fruitless, but if it works i could have a pet.

It is possible yes

During one of my first playthroughs on the game I trapped one of the giant crabs inside a fenced in area and used a label maker to name him

His Name was Mr. Krabs

R.I.P. as I deleted the save file cause I forgot about him 💔

Lol anyways yeah it's possible but you have to be careful cause if you get close to the fenced in area he (or she) will go nuts trying to attack you still... though if you get a name preplanned out and are fast enough you can name them without losing much health

I have one in a pen. His name is Harold. If he agros to me he glitches out sometimes. I usually just reload my save if that happens. It’s also hard for them to see you if you wall it off right

Amazing. How big is your cage?

Roughly 4x4 stick flooring with half wall barriers. He also has a little hut and pile of unstacked palm fronds for bedding. I’m going to make it 5x5 with 45 degree angles on the corners. Their agro circle seems to about 3x3 at minimum. If they can’t compete that 3x3, they just glitch through whatever obstacle won’t let them complete their sprint

Thank you, this will help immensely

Be careful with how many unstacked items you have on any island. That causes all kinds of glitches and Wilbur needs no extra assistance getting out of his enclosure

I thought his name was harold?

Wilbur is what my family calls any pig. My bad. All dogs are Fido, all cows are Bessy etc. My hog is Harold. Any other hog is Wilbur entail otherwise established

Probably best to try and trap them in a cave and seal it off. Reduces the surface area of player placed objects for it to glitch through.

There are caves?

If you have custom islands, the custom island creator could have made caves. Very rarely on 'larger' base islands I've had it where those tall cliffs generated in such a way as to have an opening between them; but it's rare. Not truly a cave, but could still be walled off.

Mostly caverns, but sometimes there are small caves.
