Boxed animals wrecking shits

[algorithm]

Cheap hunting tricks are still there, you just have to know how to do it.
I can still kill any animal with a bow and 5 MM.

With horse and bushes/stones/hearthfires(or other stuff animals can't break) you can build trap and drive animal into. then just pif puff. But bears appears every time i have no horse but skills and stats grows up and more and more animals can be hunted with just sword.

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).

You should probably open a separate thread for that on the bugs or critiques board. It deserves more attention and I'm not sure it will be seen here

Soon we'll have slings again and we can shoot bears for 10 pts at a time until they're dead and will never run on us, giving us yet another way to cheat the system.

How? Boat hunting only?

Hearthfires don't even have hitboxes anymore.

Well, I'm actually doing mostly boat hunting now! Not direct shooting from the boat (because this way my arrows just drop to water), but going across rivers untill I find something I can either one shoot or in a place I can chase down to kill, agrro it, drop on the other side of the river and shot! It's easier when they'r trapped in islands where there's not much space for them to run!
The problems I see with bows now are:
IF you'r horse hunting, you have high chances on hitting an arrow on your horse because of hitboxes. If you'r boat hunting, you have high chances on just dropping arrows to the water if you can't find a place to safelly leave the boat and shot across the river.
They changed boxing so hunting don't become so easy as it was, but haven't added any ways to effectivelly legit hunt using a bow.
I'm up to changing horses hitboxes when a character mounts a horse so he can actually shot from the back of the horse, and also change boat hitboxes so ppl can actually shot from inside the boats.

Also, something weird happened last night. On the SAME spot I killed a deer in one shot, I aggroed a fox, went to the same spot I was when shooting the deer down, and just missed 17 arrows on the fox!

Thanks for that. Was going to post the same thing myself about using the rivers.

Don't worry. I'm just absolutely sure jorbtar will come up with something to fuck with us when doing that, too.
