What... is even going on here?

[Reiko24]

I thought putting fences here to make pigs think they NEED to use the one place where they "can walk through" will work. But they just don't care. One logical thing to do. Just go around and eat the food. 

Does anyone have any idea how to counteract this? 

I wanted to make a design that minimizes the amount of walls/fences needed NEAR the pig attack range, because I was tired of werepigs destroying my enclosure even when food was in sight sometimes. So I don't want to put walls and fences inside the enclosure.

 

 

I thought I was being clever, and the pgs would see the food and use the one "exit" available, but I guess they outsmarted me, lol

pathing that involves the sea works differently.

Not sure how to fix your situation but one thing I learned is that you should never use statues or any other similar obstacle between pigs and the bait. They will pathfind towards the bait and eat it when you unload statues. Only use walls to surround the bait and make sure there's always a wall between pigs and bait. Making a small food pen out of walls right in the middle would work the best.

Jus use where ever pigs gather to put killing zone on. You can even use spider/monster as bait for better pig gather as pig call all allies when there monster as target.
