Hey, copy/pastaing this from a thread I posted it in auf Inn of Brodgar as suggested by another user. Not sure if a bug or design, but reporting either way just in case.
So I was just doing one of the many taming sessions of an aurochs in my base, and ran away a bit to put guards on after the aggro timer ticked down. While it was chasing me, the aurochs gently touched the side of a chicken coop and proceeded to bash the shit out of it despite there being an easily navigable path to get to me. Even when I ran right up to it, then behind it so there was nothing at all between us, it kept bashing the coop until it was destroyed.
I thought this was to prevent trapping, not just to destroy anything in a linear path between player and animal? Also, should it not check if a direct path becomes available during the bashing?
As a sidenote, none of our chickens or eggs popped out when the coop was destroyed, not sure if bug or intended (coulda sworn they used to).
