How do I stop wind from breaking my pig houses?

I would also like to know this. Or if it's not supposed to be an option, I'd like to have a good source of Pig Skins so they can at least be replaced without too much hardship. I haven't seen any pig heads except around a touchstone, and it's difficult to find a pig village when there's no roads leading to them. (I can't tell if they're actually rarer in Shipwrecked or just harder to find.)

 

Alternately, perhaps there could be a way of repairing wind-damaged structures before they fall apart?

[Serverload]

I havn't tried it yet, but would walls or sandbags stop the wind, if you place them all around the Pig Huts? I know they stop the water, maybe they will curb the wind.

[Silentdarkness1]

I found a WildBore house once.

 

If they can just be knocked over by wind, this raises serious questions as to how they even survive.

Is there any way to prevent pig houses from being destroyed? Can you collect the materials after it's been destroyed (similar to the hammer), or are they gone for good?

[DarkXero]

Wind destroys structures near you.

WINDBLOWN_DESTROY_DIST = 15, --distance from player wind blown prefabs can be destroyed, fall over, get picked, etc

Put the pig houses away from you and visit them on any season except for the hurricane one.

For those of us playing as Webber, I'm also finding that our spider nests are being destroyed

As DarkXero said, the only way is to stay far from those houses.

 

I think there is just one big pig village island with a of berry bushes per word.

 

You can look for spider dens tier 3, plant one spider egg near some pig houses, and turn pigs into were-pigs to farm meat and pigskin. Built more pig houses, so you can have more pigs to turn into were-pigs and speed-up farming.

You can collect the materials, but as a hammer, there only spawn half of the materials of a pig house.

Stay away from the pighouses during wind blows

This is bullshit. There should be a solution too. I have never seen a problem in DS or DST without any solution. Just putting structures away was my strategy too but there should be a wall to break wind as well... There is fires and there is ice flingomatic there is flood and there is sandbags. Why there is no solution to prevent this except escaping from pig houses in wind?

I actually think you are right.

 

It could be a pendant to the ligthning rod that prevents lightnings to hit your structures in a specific radius.

 

Maybe a Wind Turbine that "sucks up" all the wind in a smaller radius like the lightning rod.

(even if they dont work like that ^^) It could look similiar like the weather pain, but bigger and as a structure.

 

Or maybe just some kind of walls... that looks like sea weed sails. ^^

Idk whatever it is there should be a solution. Solution would be expensive I dont care but when game forces you to put your structures miles away from you that does not make sense and game is too broken at this stage..

"Aerodynamical" walls? Don't know, like a skate ramp, making the wind go up

Splendid! ^^

I reckon this is the best idea so far. Just use bamboo now and then to reinforce the structure. 

[DangerD]

Yes it should be as simple as building taller cement walls . 

 

stage 3 would suffice in height.

 

 

But then again,  that means youd have to build a wall COMPLETELY around your huts.

 

( because wind blows in any direction ) : /

 

trapping the pigs and leaving you unable to get close.

 

hmmmm

[jigggy2000]

Yeah, or you know. you could......just.

 

repair the huts now and then.

 

 

 

no?

 

 

 

Okay....

[matthoffman]

You don't have to build your pighouses very far away from your base; You just need to make sure none of the pighouses are on your screen under strong wind.

 

Having an option to repair the physically weathered buildings seems like a great idea! 

[Lacost]

Just make the pig houses invulnerable to wind. There isn't really much of a point in making them break. If a falling boulder destroyes them --> fine but one can assume that wildboars are able to build huts that withstand the winds in their part of the world.

Won't they get hit by lightning then?  I've always kept the houses close to protect against hounds.  Having them off screen seems pointless since you'd need to lure the hounds to the pigs, or engage them all yourself.  This can be tricky early game, if it becomes nightime.

[Ryla]

after losing one of only 3 wild boar huts I had managed to build I agree, I would really like to see some way of preventing this from happening. Pig skins are far too valuable of a resource to be able to so easily be wiped out. Eventually if all the wild boar huts get knocked down you wont even be able to build more huts...

[Nicolews]

I confess never reaching the point where I built pig houses, but I'd bet pig houses get knocked by wind because they're made of wood, and Don't Starve humor is not beyond a three little pigs reference

 

Which pretty much logically leads to stone pig houses as a new structure to solve the problem.

 

And add a new kind of wind-elemental hound that huffs and puffs to go with it, too (if they don't exist right now)

NOOOO! Our friends..! I must admit all spiders I've seen so far live in the jungle. Maybe the trees shelter you a bit from the wind, has anyone done any research on that?

That's also true for the volcano rocks, and wild fire.

Why would a volcano aim its rocks at a single person?

Why would running away from your base save your base from being destructed?

This is quite ridiculous.

I don't know how they are going to fix it.

Since if the volcano rocks hits every point of the world, it would be way too powerful.

And allowing entities to work globally would be hard to implemented since that would probably require a heavy refactoring for the program.

Wait...

Ever watched The Truman Show?

The parts of Truman's world is not working when it is not being visited or seen by the main role Truman.

Then this is how they can explain this ... the world Wilson is living in a drama show. And the show has a lot of flaws.
