attacking tethered animals

[Alhu]

Hi guys,

I had a few aurochs in my base, I was taming them. This morning, I woke up and they were gone, and I saw a few trespassing scents. I assume the trespassers aggro ed them and they are now gone.

I have two suggestions regarding this:

1-The aurochs were on my claim. maybe a crime scent? like vandalism?

2-The animals are tethered, so maybe they should not despawn after that?

I don't mind losing them, it's fine. It just seems a bit easy to do.

Did you, by chance, re-tether them after taming? if you aggro them while hitched, they come loose from the hitch, once they become calm again you need to tie them back up or they despawn.

Hi Shrapnelx,

Yes I did, I had other animals tamed before the hitched aurochs and I am 100% sure that I did re-tether them after the fights. Thanks for asking.

Yeah, they get de-tethered when agro'd. So pretty much you'd have to build a taming pen 22 tiles~ or so away from a wall. This is why we can't have nice things
