Livestock Enclosure Management

So right now I use chairs but they suck and those bastard little sheeplings still somehow move through the tiny gaps between wall and chair and I can't walk with trough or barrel through them. If I open gates the damn bastards will sprint through it. So I want a chest high revolving door style you can go through it both ways but it stops the animals.

Also can we get a short range animal positioning tool? Say from inspect button so I don't have to go mad when moving cattle inside their pen.

Have you tried a airlock-style configuration?

To move the animal to a designated position, you mean?

Cow tipping pls

i may have a different idea from avu's, but i think just one simple "push" button to move the cattle to the neighboring open tile would still be nice and makes our virtual lives a lot easier. or "shoo away" to encourage cattles to walk to open tiles inside the pen. (i think there used to be similar suggestions long ago that disappeared into the void.)

That how.

Are you saying you use chairs rather than fences? o.o

On the subject, can I use Trellis fences to enclose the animals?

I mean, they're not fences, but they look like nicer fences if placed properly. Can I use them or it will fail?
(I'd obviously make a picket gate too)

This one is never obvious.

You build a roundpole fence but leave just one space open, and you put a chair there. That way you can sit in the chair ad choose to go in or out, but animals shouldn't be able to escape.

Personally, I think it's kind of an exploit but kind of makes sense, but it's 100% silly regardless. Since there is no mechanic to frighten or corral cattle, though, it's an acceptable weirdness provided it actually works, and it sounds like it doesnt.

There should be a fence gate type that a player can use where they automatically open the gate and close it behind them, much like using a door. The hitbox doesn't change, you just pass through it. An airlock would be enough, but you can't shoo them away to operate the inner gate.

How about a whip that you craft out of leather, and you can use it to whip your cow's ass to make him run away from you
