Auto shoo on gate open minor change

Postby Sevenless » Mon Apr 01, 2019 4:14 pm

When you're dealing with a somewhat dense pen of animals, opening the gate to auto shoo causes the animals to get out of the way which is really useful. What is a pain though is when one of the auto-shooed animals hits another animal fairly close by and stops. For some reason this tends to trigger them to engage in wandering behaviour. And due to how that's coded (I'm hunching that it picks any pathable spot within X radius?) there's a solid 50/50 chance they path straight past you out the gate you just opened.

If the auto shoo disabled wandering behaviour for a short time (5s?) this wouldn't happen in the majority of cases.

So you're keeping animals in pens so small they can barely move and are angry when they try to escape these tormenting conditions?

They like to congregate near gate for some reason, no matter how much space they have. very annoying.

Too many animals.
Too small pen.
Animals should die if you keep them in too tight spaces.
Or quality could just lower.

Or get diseases, as mentioned in last stream.

Also, I personally just spam open/close the gates to remedy this issue, but would be nice if I didn't have to.

You can build a bench into the fence to be able to jump inside and outside of the fence without a gate, but the thing described in this thread would be a lot better if it would allow to just walk through it rather than allow us to move inside like the bench does
