the mechanics with the bore farm changed a bit, the old setup doesn't seem to work. (Mine never eat, and can get stuck in old method) Try a half floor that they stand on, and a half floor that's empty behind them. Also ,a full wall in the direction away from that halfwall gap you will have left for the babies to drop down. I haven't had to touch anything, since I set it up like that.
Don't get discouraged if your content doesn't get as many views. The valheim trend has gone by, but your videos are pure gold for the regular playerbase. Keep it up
The cries when you almost thought u fell to the bottom of the pit when remodelling the boar breeding area to wolf breeding area made my day! This is actually a pretty good design that we all can use. Thanks for the upload and knowledge!
This video was extremely helpful to me because I was unaware that breeding four wolves was no longer possible. Your video also explains how the animal breed in circle benefits more than the line, which is greatly appreciated. Hope your video get more views.
I have improved this design by using the 2m core logs instead of the 4m core logs, crossed across the bottom of each boar's position. This allows me to delete the core log in the direction the boar is facing and I can 100% be sure the boars are perpendicular to the log they are resting on, and I am 100% free of piggy jams.
Thanks for this. I was considering doing the same because I had some pig jams as well. Kept harpooning them to drag them down, but its good to know it can be done
Thanks for posting this, it works great. If you set "friendly fire" to on, you can use the harpoon to drag the boars around and put them where you need them. I used it to move my boars from their pen to the new breeder setup, that way I didn't have to build all the fences for guiding/preventing boars falling off and there was none of the usual hassle of pushing the uncooperative boars around. Awesome design.
Thanks for sharing this design. I built my first breeder last night (different design to yours) and i had all sorts of trouble getting the food to land where i wanted it to. This is a great solution! Keep up the great work!
I’ve played around with a lot of different breeders. This is the gold standard if you build it correctly. It pumps out pups and piggies like crazy. Not being an eye soar and protected from bats and drakes is a huge added bonus. Thanks!
Its very easy to seal it off. All it needs is a few beams in the center of the openings and doors. You can enclose it using it either walls or crystal windows (I did the later). Had two bat events, they did try to enter but couldnt.
Yes this works. I made one for my first time ever and made a lazy version based off this and after 2 hrs due to my inexperience with these, feeding spot issues, distance between wolves and direction. Im now sitting here listening to a symphony of 30+ wolves in the pit :D
My hubby likes to bug me about keeping old worlds in Valheim around. What is nice is to see how I handled breeders. I usually build the four across breeders. It's pretty easy to set up. I was sure that the devs disallowed boars breeding on wood. But clearly they either didn't or they changed it again. I may just do a test to see if I can set one up on stone. Raids can decimate a breeder set up. You do a great job explaining your builds.
I never had any issues with my boars or wolfs on wood breeders, but I did take a short break from Valheim. They might have reverted that again, as some people just build a Animal pen on wooden or stone floors, and they might have complained.
@@The-B-Side Yeah. If they kept that rule then it didn't change much except to make the boar breeder ugly as I had to raise the terrain. I'd like to got back to something that at least looks good.
If you enable pvp you can use the harpoon on your tamed animals. Just be careful with non star boars. They can only take one or two shots before dying. Also dont forget to turn it off because you can also kill them without the butchers knife.
Awesome tutorial! I have a different design but the feeding is so hard to get in the right spot. This will let me add another bit onto my current farm so I can feed perfectly. Although I think I might remake because I like the looks of this one a lot more. Thanks!
Thank you for this video. I like things in this game to look nice and semi realistic. But most build videos are for a job, not looks. This is perfect and I will 100% be giving it a try. Again, thank you 👍
@The Bee Side Finally after alot of yelling and swearing lol I did it. I started making it too close to the shore, so when I dug down I hit water. then my breader wasn't high enough. But I know have a fully working breader. once again, THANK YOU for this tip.
I just want to say thank you for the design. I used the center piece then doubled it for both wolves and boars. Measure out the floorboards for your frame first, then raised the ground on the edges helps both with height and structural support. Then dig out a pit in the center with a ramp on one side for the wolves to leave if you wish, and a divider down in the pit to keep the boars in. Best breeder I've ever tried and easily built with only the basic pick axe and not even iron age tools or stonecutter. I have so much extra meat I just use it for making coal.
I also snapped 45 degree roof tiles to the beam in front of the animals. You have to shift click to place it in the correct spot, but once you do you can throw the food against it and it rolls down perfectly to the beam.
Exquisite guide! I actually went with the 4x1 cells but borrowed your implementation of a lowered platform so the boar can't move outside its 1x1 cell. Now I'm thinking how to use this for my lox tower since for some reason they stopped eating - so I need to optimize for food placement.
Thanks for the concept! I just started building this and thought, you could actually even improve it, if you double the breeding space and put both boars and wolves next to each other since their limit is only influenced by their own animal type
Yeah, you can make it longer, there are even ways to work on top of each other, if you are creative. My main aim for these videos is to give a general idea how things work, what one way would be to do this and then have the viewer experiment and improve on it.
Oh yeah, this is my Original Character, which I now use for Creative Play and Guides. Its fully equipped.. We will get there one day with the new one. hehe
if i had to say something, if you are building on an incline and cant get the full 8m you can always build around with stone for more height and stability
NMS is always quiet this time of year. The Redux is ok-ish, but most people already played it. Glad to be back in Valheim. Its a real great game both playing and Building. 😊
Omfg dude. You rotated all the boars to be parallel to the core wood beams and then turned them all again to be perpendicular. I was following the video and spent hours getting them parallel!
I found the pigs tried to rotate too much and that caused the piglets to consistently get trapped and stop the breeding process. So I removed the ramps to the sides that were parallel to the core wood beam and added padding to the bays to made them narrower, forcing the pigs into the desired orientation. I managed to do this while the pigs were in the pen with some determination, but it might have been better to do it before loading the pigs into the pen. I have not however tested if this is possible, so mileage may vary on this technique. The breeder is pretty consistent now too, although it took some time learning how to throw the food correctly, but I can do it every time now without it falling in the pen below which is good.
I am finding the same thing. Wondering if a missing a piece or have too much somewhere. Th piggy seems to get stuck and 'float' like its wedged between the back side wall and the butt of the boar inside the pen. I have now added a 1x2 to narrow two of the pens and I am going to see if that works. Any other tips to get it working again?
making the exterior (base) out of stone will improve the stability of the building greatly. So instead of the corner pillars being made out of core wood, you can make it from stone pillars / blocks.
It looks cool. I gotta say though for wolves I'd probably go for an elevated build, because getting the wolves out of the pit if you decide you want them for combat is probably going to be a bit of a pain.
Yeah, If you would like to move the animals out, I would probably dig a 2m wide channel and then either use roof/stairs to go up. You can always close off the Trench with a steel door below.
@@The-B-Side that's only really one part of it, if you want the wolves for combat, you really need the breeder to be easy to set up so that you can set it up at an outpost with only a couple of wolves that way you don't have to sail a few a time (losing some on the way) every time you need more of them in a biome.
@@TheMhalpern Fingers crossed for that Transportation boat that I heard GrimCore talk about... It was not like it was a final decision, but he talked as if he would like to add a transportation boat, to ferry animals.
Id suggest mining a trench blocked off by a door, or 2/3 doors for safety. If you use a hill side built as this one its pretty easy. the efficiency of the 3 wolves should give you enough wolves to have 5+ roaming around in no time.
I can confirm that this works on Xbox. There's just one quirk: the ledge with the wood wall half that you use to measure the distance from which you drop food is VERY position-determined and VERY finnicky. Food doesn't drop on Xbox like it does on PC. I found it easier to hit the wood beam by removing the wood wall half and make my own estimation . I also found it much easier to throw carrots than berries, as berries bounce.
So based on what im hearing they updated this since this video that boars and wolf now have to be on the ground to eat there for to breed. Is this true?
Should this work with zero star boars? I got a couple in the breeder but they are not eating my carrots. Whether they are right on that 2m beam, or if I drop carrots on the core wood beam the boars are standing on. They boars are hungry. Been there for over 2, but they still won't eat. I put two zero start wolves on opposite side. The wolves are eating and breading, but there are three pups standing on the core wood beam. :(
With this design.. yes.. bats will be a problem. Check this one out, which is more efficient and more protected as well: czcams.com/video/2T2aKnEMKd4/video.htmlsi=AY6W-vBB_5NYvAus
Have you considered making it 2-story with Wolves over Boars or vice versa? That would be pretty cool and compact if you could get the babies from the top to fall past the breeders on the lower level. I don't need such an insane breeding rate for just 2 of us "eaters", so I am just using a line breeder in a tree-top with 2 boars and 2 wolves (all 2*s) and it works sufficiently for my needs.
The 2 level system would cause the top animal to get stuck into the other breeder of the bottom one.. Or you have to build it in steps, which makes you lose the cross-breeding. You can however combine chickens and Wolfs or Boars, which is pretty efficient. Having chickens and Wolfs together is actually pretty great for protecting your chickens.. lol.
@@The-B-Side I suppose you could also just do 2 2x2’s side-by-side with chickens raining eggs from above since there’s no NPC falling damage. I might try that next. I am currently doing just a 2-player world so 1 pair of wolves and 1 pair of boars in a tree-house (Oak’s are good as they’re very broad in the top.) and I raised a 3m thick wall around the whole thing which keeps the log-trolls from doing much more than standing nose-to-wall in fascination of prey just out of reach. Then on top of the walls I cultivated the soil and so have room for doing 1-2 of my standard meadows crop rotations of 25-seed+75-veg plantings which yields 1 50-stack of veg plus all resources back in 1 cycle. So instead of being AFK for the love cycles, I just do a crop rotation. I need to do a video…
Hey there, If you check this link to my Live Stream (its time coded) you can see how I sorted out my boars no longer turning: czcams.com/users/liveonETUjuVG0c?feature=share&t=4755
I love this breeder design, but allow me to blow your minds/fix the most frustrating part (Getting the food where you want it). Simply place an item stand where you want the food to go, put however much food on it, then destroy the item stand. You can put the food right in front of the boar 100% of the time. Just be sure to be far enough back to not pick anything up or fill your pack before destroying the item stands.
Holy crow, I never even thought of item stands... I'm gonna try this! Thanks, dude! EDIT: I can't place a full stack on an item stand. Damn. Such a good idea, too.
Hello.. one of my boars keeps dropping into the pit. How can I fix this I am running the design with only 2 boars and plan to add wolfes to the other 2 open slots
I love this but every time i throw food it bounces out or falls beneath them ive watched and rewatched many times and i cant figure out what im doing wrong
so the pushing had me confused, we only got to push them once, so thy face the right direction right. We dont have to repeat it after every single feeding session?
Normally not, the Boars should keep directed where the food is. If they run empty, they might turn around (looking for food perhaps). I only had the boars turning around in the beginning during the build, as there was no food yet. SO i used to push them, or a door to move them.
im having such a difficult time trying to get the boars to eat, i build the feeding platforms and the food is so close to their face it almost clips through, but they still refuse to eat
Looks amazin, rebuild it exactly like in your guide but it is not working. The boars refuse to eat and breed. Did they patch this or something? Edit: never mind, you have to place the food EXACTLY on that pieve of wood right in front of the boars head... pretty defficult to land the food exactly on int. a few centimeters off and they can't reach it.
I'm having an issue where my boars are falling, ever so slightly, that they are too low to eat anything. I don't get why that is happening, but not to all of them. Everything is completely leveled the same way. Any tips? Thanks in advance!
I had trouble lining up the food spot... Only the sides which are parallel to the beam land correctly,the other two either fall into the pit or to far for them to eat. Any tips to solve it?
I can't visually see it, so I can not really understand it as well. You might have to join the discord and share a few screenshots in the Valheim help section.
@@The-B-Side from testing what i understood is this: the breeding area needs be exactly 8x8, if you dig the pit first them come up and start building the pen from the corners using the 45° beams like at 5:03, the pen won't be square and will deviate slightly causing the issue of the food spots being misaligned. Hope i could make myself clear and that this might help others.
@@The-B-Side Thanks for the reply, I'll just get the mats and hope for the best. For future build videos though, having a count of the materials would be really helpful :D
Hey Beebs! I like the design of this breeder quite a lot. Question I have is re: flying raids: How does it stand up against the bats? Drakes and Gjall I know can wreck the wooden structures, so that's a concern as well.
Tbh, I have not gotten any of these Raids yet. I know any Mistlands raid can be insanely devastating. I think the further you move along in progress, you should upgrade your base accordingly. Once I have some time, I might have to make some Base Defense Guides to protect against these new Raids.
From my experiences with the new raid, I'd say that this breeder would get shredded in no time - but to be fair, most wooden structures in this game would. The best way to defend against flying raid always has been to kite them away from your base independly of whether you actually kill the mobs or wait it out. Mistland creatures do a lot of damage and you'll easily have your structures taken down if they are not made from stone at least and unless you have an army of 20+ 2star wolves, you will certainly lose some of your animals as well. Make use of the raids going for the player first and the base second, even when you are going to just sprint around until it's over.
um... if you make the spaces a tiny bit bigger or have amazing pig pushing skills you could put a wolf and a pig in the same square and breed them at the same time
Can confirm that this works on Xbox. Use carrots instead of berries, as carrots land right on the wood beam, while berries have all sorts of physics that make it very difficult to drop them on the beam.
Great design, but the piggy keeps getting jammed and doesn't fall. I must be missing something. I tried putting little walls to decrease the square space a little, but nope. Any ideas?
It is weird as I did not have this happening on this breeder, but when I built it again on the Ravenheim server, the piggies got stuck. Try removing the core wood that I snap below the top Cross, that seems to block the piggies. You can see me troubleshooting it in this stream: czcams.com/users/liveonETUjuVG0c?feature=share&t=5724 (This link is time coded)
My boars just breed twice and then stop. At first they did breed like crazy, but it just stopped and they do not breed like they used to. Any ideas how can i fix it?
Check if there is a little piggy or (already grown) Boar in the upper Pen. You can only have 4 of them together, so if there is 5 (or more) you will need to kill them.
Taming a creature should normally take about 30 mins, I am not entirly sure how that is incluenced by their level (0,1,2 star). If you go near without sneaking or the wolf notices you, it will pause its taming, until its calm again. The wolfs taming also pauses when there are enemies nearby.. Be sure to keep the wolf calm, have food (wolfs eat a lot), and be in the vicinity without alerting the wolf (6m distance should be good).
I love this. I had tried another pit type breeder, but just didn't work. I love it, but my pigs will not eat no matter what. I land the carrot right where u did, but they will not eat. HELP? thanks
That is weird.. I have tried this several times, and never failed for them to eat. Be sure to have the carrot to fall in front of them.. not too much to the sides.
my boars are eating and breeding, but the piggy won't fall down. It stands on the core wood beam alongside the boar. Any hints on how to get them to drop down?
@@Andythecreature three of the four are perpendicular. They are the only ones who have eaten any of the food and produced any piggies. But the piggies just don't fall in.
The reason the piggy is on the beam is because the Boar is directed in the same side as the beam, so the piggy dropped on the beam, instead of the empty space, which in return has 1 extra boar in the breeder, which stops the boars from breeding.
does this still work in the last update? I'm having trouble getting my wolves to eat off in my breeders... something to do with the pathfinding i think maybe?
After around 6 hours of remaking the build and trying to see why the hell is my food not sitting on the beam. I just realized that I need to do it with CARROTS and not berries. Berries are a pain in the ass to sit on the beam. most of the time they seat on the beam that the boar sits on. Otherwise thank you for the video
Some people say their boars aren't eating and I haven't seem mine eat yet. You said this was on the new update and it works? Are you 100% sure? Cause I built it right and it's not working.
I have build this Breeder 4 times over, and each of them worked perfectly. As you can see my character is wearing the Mage Robes and Feather Cape, so I am on the latest update. What food are you using? And does that food stay on the beam right in front of the Boars?
I am pretty sure you can. Tame animals don't attack each other. I think you could actually make a double Breeder, where 4 boars and 3 wolfs are placed. And having wolfs in the Pen below, might actually be great in case you get a Raid and some Mobs get inside it.
If food runs out, boars become a bit restless, and start turning around. If it happens, normally throwing food at the place and pushing them should turn them (or use the door instead).
This is an older version, A better version can be found in this video: czcams.com/video/2T2aKnEMKd4/video.html
the mechanics with the bore farm changed a bit, the old setup doesn't seem to work. (Mine never eat, and can get stuck in old method)

Yep, Belgium Born... hehe
@@The-B-Side EPIC
It looks cool. I gotta say though for wolves I'd probably go for an elevated build, because getting the wolves out of the pit if you decide you want them for combat is probably going to be a bit of a pain.
Yeah, If you would like to move the animals out, I would probably dig a 2m wide channel and then either use roof/stairs to go up. You can always close off the Trench with a steel door below.
@@The-B-Side that's only really one part of it, if you want the wolves for combat, you really need the breeder to be easy to set up so that you can set it up at an outpost with only a couple of wolves that way you don't have to sail a few a time (losing some on the way) every time you need more of them in a biome.
@@TheMhalpern Fingers crossed for that Transportation boat that I heard GrimCore talk about... It was not like it was a final decision, but he talked as if he would like to add a transportation boat, to ferry animals.
Id suggest mining a trench blocked off by a door, or 2/3 doors for safety. If you use a hill side built as this one its pretty easy. the efficiency of the 3 wolves should give you enough wolves to have 5+ roaming around in no time.
That’s amazing. I would like to see a lox farm in your interpretation. Do you have any ideas?
I could think of some, but never tried anything myself.
Also never searched for any videos about it..
Great breeder.
13:23 personal timestamp. 😁
I can confirm that this works on Xbox. There's just one quirk: the ledge with the wood wall half that you use to measure the distance from which you drop food is VERY position-determined and VERY finnicky. Food doesn't drop on Xbox like it does on PC. I found it easier to hit the wood beam by removing the wood wall half and make my own estimation . I also found it much easier to throw carrots than berries, as berries bounce.
So based on what im hearing they updated this since this video that boars and wolf now have to be on the ground to eat there for to breed. Is this true?
Should this work with zero star boars? I got a couple in the breeder but they are not eating my carrots. Whether they are right on that 2m beam, or if I drop carrots on the core wood beam the boars are standing on. They boars are hungry. Been there for over 2, but they still won't eat. I put two zero start wolves on opposite side. The wolves are eating and breading, but there are three pups standing on the core wood beam. :(
Love the design! Did you ever have an issue lo drake or bat events losing your breeder boars?
With this design.. yes.. bats will be a problem.
Check this one out, which is more efficient and more protected as well: czcams.com/video/2T2aKnEMKd4/video.htmlsi=AY6W-vBB_5NYvAus
Have you considered making it 2-story with Wolves over Boars or vice versa? That would be pretty cool and compact if you could get the babies from the top to fall past the breeders on the lower level. I don't need such an insane breeding rate for just 2 of us "eaters", so I am just using a line breeder in a tree-top with 2 boars and 2 wolves (all 2*s) and it works sufficiently for my needs.
The 2 level system would cause the top animal to get stuck into the other breeder of the bottom one..
Or you have to build it in steps, which makes you lose the cross-breeding.
You can however combine chickens and Wolfs or Boars, which is pretty efficient.
Having chickens and Wolfs together is actually pretty great for protecting your chickens.. lol.
@@The-B-Side I suppose you could also just do 2 2x2’s side-by-side with chickens raining eggs from above since there’s no NPC falling damage. I might try that next. I am currently doing just a 2-player world so 1 pair of wolves and 1 pair of boars in a tree-house (Oak’s are good as they’re very broad in the top.) and I raised a 3m thick wall around the whole thing which keeps the log-trolls from doing much more than standing nose-to-wall in fascination of prey just out of reach. Then on top of the walls I cultivated the soil and so have room for doing 1-2 of my standard meadows crop rotations of 25-seed+75-veg plantings which yields 1 50-stack of veg plus all resources back in 1 cycle. So instead of being AFK for the love cycles, I just do a crop rotation. I need to do a video…
Dont the pigs need to stand on voxels to eat and breed?
How do you keep the boars from turning. I keep getting piggy jams and the little ones wont mature if stuck in a small space.
Hey there, If you check this link to my Live Stream (its time coded) you can see how I sorted out my boars no longer turning: czcams.com/users/liveonETUjuVG0c?feature=share&t=4755
I love this breeder design, but allow me to blow your minds/fix the most frustrating part (Getting the food where you want it). Simply place an item stand where you want the food to go, put however much food on it, then destroy the item stand. You can put the food right in front of the boar 100% of the time. Just be sure to be far enough back to not pick anything up or fill your pack before destroying the item stands.
You can place stacks of n a item stand?
(assuming the answer to the question above is yes, which i doubt) you can also press V to toggle auto-pickup
Holy crow, I never even thought of item stands... I'm gonna try this! Thanks, dude!
EDIT: I can't place a full stack on an item stand. Damn. Such a good idea, too.
Hello.. one of my boars keeps dropping into the pit. How can I fix this
I am running the design with only 2 boars and plan to add wolfes to the other 2 open slots
I love this but every time i throw food it bounces out or falls beneath them ive watched and rewatched many times and i cant figure out what im doing wrong
Could I use it for boar and wolf at the same time
14:11 What is the reason the boars should be facing north or south?
so the pushing had me confused, we only got to push them once, so thy face the right direction right. We dont have to repeat it after every single feeding session?
Normally not, the Boars should keep directed where the food is.
If they run empty, they might turn around (looking for food perhaps).
I only had the boars turning around in the beginning during the build, as there was no food yet. SO i used to push them, or a door to move them.
does this still work when I tried, they wouldn't eat?
im having such a difficult time trying to get the boars to eat, i build the feeding platforms and the food is so close to their face it almost clips through, but they still refuse to eat
Looks amazin, rebuild it exactly like in your guide but it is not working. The boars refuse to eat and breed. Did they patch this or something?
Edit: never mind, you have to place the food EXACTLY on that pieve of wood right in front of the boars head... pretty defficult to land the food exactly on int. a few centimeters off and they can't reach it.
I'm having an issue where my boars are falling, ever so slightly, that they are too low to eat anything. I don't get why that is happening, but not to all of them. Everything is completely leveled the same way. Any tips? Thanks in advance!
You mean the are tilted with their buts hanging low?
Did you build the lower beams in the cross section in the middle?
I had trouble lining up the food spot... Only the sides which are parallel to the beam land correctly,the other two either fall into the pit or to far for them to eat. Any tips to solve it?
I'm having this same issue. Food won't land in the right spot, regardless of which side I throw it from.
I can't visually see it, so I can not really understand it as well.
You might have to join the discord and share a few screenshots in the Valheim help section.
@@The-B-Side from testing what i understood is this: the breeding area needs be exactly 8x8, if you dig the pit first them come up and start building the pen from the corners using the 45° beams like at 5:03, the pen won't be square and will deviate slightly causing the issue of the food spots being misaligned. Hope i could make myself clear and that this might help others.
I really like the idea of this farm but do you have a list of the materials you used, I want to start building it today
Oh, I did not really count all the materials I needed.
It should not be too much Materials.
@@The-B-Side Thanks for the reply, I'll just get the mats and hope for the best. For future build videos though, having a count of the materials would be really helpful :D
Hey Beebs! I like the design of this breeder quite a lot. Question I have is re: flying raids: How does it stand up against the bats? Drakes and Gjall I know can wreck the wooden structures, so that's a concern as well.
Tbh, I have not gotten any of these Raids yet. I know any Mistlands raid can be insanely devastating.
I think the further you move along in progress, you should upgrade your base accordingly.
Once I have some time, I might have to make some Base Defense Guides to protect against these new Raids.
From my experiences with the new raid, I'd say that this breeder would get shredded in no time - but to be fair, most wooden structures in this game would. The best way to defend against flying raid always has been to kite them away from your base independly of whether you actually kill the mobs or wait it out. Mistland creatures do a lot of damage and you'll easily have your structures taken down if they are not made from stone at least and unless you have an army of 20+ 2star wolves, you will certainly lose some of your animals as well. Make use of the raids going for the player first and the base second, even when you are going to just sprint around until it's over.
Why did you rotate 2 of the boar just to then go back and rotate all 4? Couldn't you have initially just rotated the other 2 boar?
doesnt work anymore... I cant figure out how to make a breeder anymore did they ruin it?
um... if you make the spaces a tiny bit bigger or have amazing pig pushing skills you could put a wolf and a pig in the same square and breed them at the same time
That could probably work.. hehe.
Can confirm that this works on Xbox. Use carrots instead of berries, as carrots land right on the wood beam, while berries have all sorts of physics that make it very difficult to drop them on the beam.
I wish you didn't skip the ending of the build, but it was still a really nice build.
did they change breeding rules. pets needed to touch blue to feed.
Can we do 2 boar 2 wolf in the same one
I don’t know if Xbox or the recent patch but I can NOT get these boat to turn
Great design, but the piggy keeps getting jammed and doesn't fall. I must be missing something. I tried putting little walls to decrease the square space a little, but nope. Any ideas?
It is weird as I did not have this happening on this breeder, but when I built it again on the Ravenheim server, the piggies got stuck.
Try removing the core wood that I snap below the top Cross, that seems to block the piggies.
You can see me troubleshooting it in this stream: czcams.com/users/liveonETUjuVG0c?feature=share&t=5724 (This link is time coded)
My boars just breed twice and then stop. At first they did breed like crazy, but it just stopped and they do not breed like they used to. Any ideas how can i fix it?
Check if there is a little piggy or (already grown) Boar in the upper Pen.
You can only have 4 of them together, so if there is 5 (or more) you will need to kill them.
Hi, I made this but once the pen reaches 8 piggies/boars....the 4 breeders stop breeding.....am I missing something?
I currently have a lox breeder but can not get wolves and boars to breed in high out put manner
It is really important that the wolfs/boars are properly located/directed.
The hardest part can be to get them to eat.
My wolf doesn’t show a progress bar but there is yellow hearts, he just goes hostile everytime I go near, wondering if this is a bug?
Taming a creature should normally take about 30 mins, I am not entirly sure how that is incluenced by their level (0,1,2 star).
If you go near without sneaking or the wolf notices you, it will pause its taming, until its calm again.
The wolfs taming also pauses when there are enemies nearby..
Be sure to keep the wolf calm, have food (wolfs eat a lot), and be in the vicinity without alerting the wolf (6m distance should be good).
I love this. I had tried another pit type breeder, but just didn't work. I love it, but my pigs will not eat no matter what. I land the carrot right where u did, but they will not eat. HELP? thanks
That is weird.. I have tried this several times, and never failed for them to eat.
Be sure to have the carrot to fall in front of them.. not too much to the sides.
@@The-B-Side thanks, I did, probably user error. All good.
my boars are eating and breeding, but the piggy won't fall down. It stands on the core wood beam alongside the boar. Any hints on how to get them to drop down?
Are the boars perpendicular to the beam¿
@@Andythecreature three of the four are perpendicular. They are the only ones who have eaten any of the food and produced any piggies. But the piggies just don't fall in.
The reason the piggy is on the beam is because the Boar is directed in the same side as the beam, so the piggy dropped on the beam, instead of the empty space, which in return has 1 extra boar in the breeder, which stops the boars from breeding.
This farm got no boar glitches?
valheim patch 0.217.14 works fine
Does this have to be with carrots? can i use berries as the food?
Berries work too, but i feel its much work compared with just farming it.
Berries feel more valuable for many potions and certain foods.
Could this be wider to breed boars and wolves side by side?
Yes ofcourse, You can go as large as you want, as long you keep the structure properly supported and keep within the Animals/sqm ratio.
does this still work in the last update? I'm having trouble getting my wolves to eat off in my breeders... something to do with the pathfinding i think maybe?
This guide was recorded this week, with the Mistlands update. So it seems it is still working.
@@The-B-Side omg that's amazing. i thought they changed it so that boars would only eat off the floor
I'll give it a go
After around 6 hours of remaking the build and trying to see why the hell is my food not sitting on the beam. I just realized that I need to do it with CARROTS and not berries. Berries are a pain in the ass to sit on the beam. most of the time they seat on the beam that the boar sits on. Otherwise thank you for the video
Some people say their boars aren't eating and I haven't seem mine eat yet. You said this was on the new update and it works? Are you 100% sure? Cause I built it right and it's not working.
I have build this Breeder 4 times over, and each of them worked perfectly.
As you can see my character is wearing the Mage Robes and Feather Cape, so I am on the latest update.
What food are you using? And does that food stay on the beam right in front of the Boars?
Can I breed 2 boar and 2 wolf together ?
I am pretty sure you can. Tame animals don't attack each other.
I think you could actually make a double Breeder, where 4 boars and 3 wolfs are placed.
And having wolfs in the Pen below, might actually be great in case you get a Raid and some Mobs get inside it.
Looks great but very weird and hard to repeat. My farm looks like at guide, but babies never fall into pit. But sometimes parents do it.
My boars keep turning after they have been working for several days perhaps I have done something wrong.
If food runs out, boars become a bit restless, and start turning around.
If it happens, normally throwing food at the place and pushing them should turn them (or use the door instead).
@@The-B-Side no luck on both ideas but I changed the breeder a bit and got it working
I tried this with 1 star boar, the piggy stuck like 90% of the time, but manage to make it works with some alteration
What alterations did you have to do, I’m having the same issue
I made it similiar kinda but mine dont eat, it seems they cant get the food
same here,were you able to fix it?
Boars dont need to touch the ground anymore?
It never did for me... So many people asking this on my guides, haha.
Dose it still works?
