Domesticated Beefalo still produce map icon trails

Yes, I agree. I think they should use inst.MiniMapEntity:SetCanUseCache(False) for beefalo,

AddPrefabPostInit("beefalo", function(inst) inst.MiniMapEntity:SetCanUseCache(false) end)

and add a map icon for the beef_bell so that players can find their domesticated beefalo.

This is the same as what Klei has done to fix this bug for Glommer and Chester,  i.e., adding `SetCanUseCache(False)` and adding an icon for gloomer_flower and eyebone.

 

I tried to find a better solution, which is calling SetCanUseCache(False) only for domesticated beefalo, instead of all beefalos. I used the following codes but it does not work.

AddPrefabPostInit("beefalo", function(inst)
	local old_updatedomestication = inst.UpdateDomestication
	inst.UpdateDomestication = function(self)
		if inst.components.domesticatable:IsDomesticated() then
			inst.MiniMapEntity:SetCanUseCache(false)
		else
			inst.MiniMapEntity:SetCanUseCache(true)
		end
		old_updatedomestication(self)
	end
end)

But this failed and I do not know why.
