Calamity0o0 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I found a great spot to set up camp... the problem is all of those frogs keep attacking my bees and pigs! I think 15 ponds is a bit too much for one area, and would love to be able to get rid of some of them. Anyone know how to do this? Or does anyone know if I build a wall around them will that keep the frogs confined to that area? I'm not sure if they would spawn outside of the wall or be able to jump over it. Thanks!

Sporb Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 You can't destroy ponds. However, you can destroy the plants next to them by burning them. I've heard that it's the plants that spawn the frogs and not the ponds themselves, but I'm not entirely certain if this is true.

PopcornTattoo Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 the only way to destroy ponds would be to use console commands to delete them from that area but if I were you I would just choose a different spot to set up camp especially if the frogs are causing so much trouble Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/30534-is-there-a-way-to-get-rid-of-ponds/#findComment-393140 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I had a similar problem and a small wall indeed works well to prevent them from roaming where you don't want.

the truthseeker Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Been there, done it. The plants spawning frogs is a myth. Everybody knows you take a Living Log to a Lightning Rod when it's raining and then when...ya know, I'm not feeling the "epic tales of BS" thing today So let's continue: I had a similar problem and a small wall indeed works well to prevent them from roaming where you don't want. Wouldn't they destroy the wall?Spiders, that are hostile creature as well, DO destroy walls without reason, so I don't think wall would be enough. Frogs are not hostile unless you are close. If you make a wall blocking them from getting to you, they will never be hostile. I'd treat it as a regular base came wall and recommend making it "doubled" however. I'd also recommend so you don't have to worry about damage from other creatures and the frogs coming in to make that wall one side and focus your main things on the other side where you'll be. So if this was the north side wall, your main camp area would be around the south wall area and the frogs could "guard" something like "transplanted berry bushes" or something else infrequently accessed,.

Sporb Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Been there, done it. The plants spawning frogs is a myth. That would explain why I was never able to actually confirm it. XD But, yeah, a quick look at the prefab files shows that it is in fact the pond that spawns frogs and the plants have nothing to do with it.

the truthseeker Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Put lots of pigs around it or wall it in. Since pigs eat meat, the latter is the best way to handle it. If you make the wall big enough, you can even leave a small opening to come and go when you please as they won't hop away.

Soopakoopa Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 As many have said already, building walls is the way to go. Although you might not actually want to fullyenclose it; if you leave a small section open, you can run in during hound attacks and usually get the houndsand frogs fighting.
