  1. I'd recommend building a barn/kennel with a roof before the drake raids start to protect your boars and wolves. My friends and I play together on a dedicated server, we have been holding off on killing Bonemass because one of us went out of town. It's given us time to prepare for the drakes with defensive towers and barns to protect our tamed creatures.

  2. i mean moat and wall defends me from invasions. problem i have things spawning inside. i know i can remove all the grass inside and nothing will spawn but that's ugly. im set up between planes and black forest so sometimes goblins spawn inside. i had 5-6 wolfs inside compound and two star goblin with couple friends spawned and annihilated them.

  3. They work great until the ogres come although they can kill the ogre more than one can wipe out a whole pack cause they cluster too much…when they difficulty increases those event can send three to four ogres

  4. Another thing I have noticed with animal AI, and what may be making tames seem to 'vanish'. And this goes for the AI of everything.
    The AI will always try and pat all the mobs and enemies back to their spawn location. So say you found a boar or wolf you want to tame, you drag it off back to your taming pen… now watch it. Does it hug a wall, roam back and forth and kinda… act like it wants to run back to where it was? Yes, that is exactly what is happening. Even after tamed, the AI will still attempt to make it return back to its spawn area.
    Now the issue comes in that this can cause them to glitch through walls if you say leave the base, and have the area unloaded. Loading back in they can slip though and may appear to have vanished. But if you go back to where you found them, they'll be wandering about.
    This does not effect animals that are bred and born in an area, as it seems then it sets the spot it popped into as the spawn and the area it should stay at.

    I use to think some of my tames were just up and vanishing and I was getting annoyed by it, until I happend to return to base and notice a boar outside its pen… it then booked it out of there. Following it, it ended back up where it had been found. I than did this for all the other animals I had tamed, and sure enough, all the tames that were still wild tamed that I thought had vanished, is instead roaming where they had been originally.

  5. It seems like they would be especially effective with a wall that has one opening to funnel the ranged monsters into closer quarters and help keep the wolves from attacking one solo

  6. That's my base defense. I think they're 50 strong now because they've been breeding like rabbits. Breeding is still pretty quick still even with the update. It does get annoying because of the howling and how they keep blocking my door.

  7. Are these bred or spawned in? I was under the impression that when you breed 2 star wolves, you get the damage but the hp of the cubs are the same as no star

  8. I'm going to build a base with a funnel entrance with a raven throne right at the gate. When a raid happens I shall sit at the throne and calmly say "release the hounds". I shall watch as my glorious fur Armada decimates the foolish rabble that dare to enter my sanctum!!!

  9. In reference to the AI being confused to the ranged attacks from the surtlings, the wolves, boars and lox are afraid of fire. You can use a torch in melee, or fire arrows to scare them.

  10. I once had a small wolf pack (8 normal wolfs, no stars).

    I was gonna have them as a farm, killing them for their meat, but, grow to love having them around.

    I then had a "skelet surprise" raid happen to me, lets just say, the wolf was to spread out and the skelets came in groups of 5+ (think i saw 3+ groups raiding me), so, all i was able to see was my brave wolfs running 1 by 1 into groups of 5+ skelets and got nuked pretty fast.

    I was then trying to safe some wolfs by running into my base, sadly, at this point, a green skelet joined the raid, nuked my wooden gate down, my last wolf then stod its ground, attacking the green skelet (in order to safe me), it sadly didn't stod a chance and died, after some time the skelet raid ended and i killed the remained enemies for what they did to my wolf pack :(.

    So, if people really want a wolf def system, they really need to get those 1-2 star wolf at night (and know how to deal with them), so, check out some youtube clip about how to tame a 2 star wolf, as they might seems "bugged" and can take up to 2½ hour of camping the same spot in order to get them.

  11. I haven't tamed a wolf yet and wasn't able to see how you gave the commands.
    Is it a simple toggle on the pet interaction that makes them stay of follow or was there some other control?
