Horse stuck in hearth fire, then disappeared

[linkfanpc]

I hearthed home while on a wild horse i fed a clover to. He got stuck in my hearth. My hearth was in a timber house, in the corner, on the first floor. I couldn't move while on him, and when i got off he couldn't path off either.

So i grabbed a couple dreams and split two blocks of wood, to move my hearth to one spot so he could get out, then move it back.

I hearthed out of reflex, and the horse disappeared.

Idk. Maybe the map unloaded somehow? Were you on the horse? Where was the HF relative to the other place you tried to build in? Why didn't you ride the horse out of the fire?

Why didn't you ride the horse out of the fire?

Horses collide with hearth fires and sometimes you can't ride out of the fire due to this. I got stuck several times on my own.

I said, i hearthed home while on him. My hearth was inside a house, in the corner. He got stuck INSIDE my hearth fire, and when i tried to move him, he just twitched forward a bit.

I was grabbing stuff to build a new fire outside the house. Out of reflex, i click Hearth Home to get inside the house faster. Since the horse was stuck inside my hearth, when i hearthed inside it deleted him.

When i left the house to get the resources, it took less than a minute, so he didn't despawn.

Hearthing back shouldn't have removed the horse. Houses unload fairly quickly if nobody is inside. I'm not sure of the specific mechanics, though, as I've never really tested the bounds. Only jorb or loftar could enlighten us (unless someone else has tested timings). When stuck on geometry like this, you can go to fastest speed and repeatedly move. You'll eventually get unstuck.

Could be that it the horse was stuck on house geometry since the HF was in the corner. Just to note: there could be some special condition where a horse does get stuck on the hearth fire, so I'm not discounting that. I don't have any trained horses with any of my characters, so haven't used them enough to experience it.

I would not at all be 100% convinced of that, tbt.

Well, i had a wood block stockpile and dream catcher nearby. I'm living as a hermit with a small base, so everything's in arms reach.
