maybe some kind of structure that you can bind a horse to that acts similar to a hearthfire that a horse teleports to when you hearth while on it/leashed to it?

While I appreciate the problem, wouldn't it be much more simple to just put your hf outside?

1) Passerby's can see when you're online/active
2) Nidbanes can kill you
3) I made a house for a reason. To store my shit and to live in.

I don't deny it would be nice, but this
because it is such a pain in the ass to use a horse inside a house.

sounds quite silly when said aloud.

No sillier than appearing in a pool of water as a floating orb, walking across one of two streams and then becoming an adult human which then speaks to a wizard and teleports into the forest by standing in a fire

so like.. give door a bigger active area that is passable in front of them so that the horse can go close to the door while the heartling interacts with this invisible "zone" to go inside?

Not so sure the horses in houses problems need to be solved. #1 and #3 are the ones that should be resolved somehow. As far as #2... well, you should be fucked if you can't deal with a nidbane without cheesing tactics. That's the whole point of them and just because there are exploits doesn't mean you get to keep them.

Maybe a barn/assembly area that would be cheap for established players but not readily available early game where you can hide a hearth fire and it's convenient to move livestock in and out of. (See any of these "farming sim" games like Stardew Valley for an idea of what I'm thinking of.)
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.

Prevent teleportation with horses.

If they have fast mounts, why not use them for quick travel?

wait wat? you can port to the basement with a horse and just go out being on the horse %)
it is a bit tricky to use doors since one needs to do it coming from the side, but there is no problem with going up the cellar %)
