Do Portals Frighten Boars?

I'm upgrading my entire village. Made a new Boar Pen and horded them there. They were all tame and happy, but got frightened as soon as they reached the new area.

Are boars frightened by Portals?
Just in case, i built walls w. roofs over any section where they could see the Portals.

Are boars frightened of fire even if on the other side of a wall?
I have a hall close by w. a Fire Pit inside.
But again, there is a wall between the Pen and the Fire Pit.

Can't figure out what the issue is. You cannot see any fire (or portals) from anywhere in the new pen. But they still go berserk as soon as they reach the new pen.

I don't believe it matters if they can see the fire or not, no wall seems to remove their fear of fire. Maybe they hate the warmth. :)
I really hope they will change this in the near future.

Fire affects boars based on distance. Not line of sight. Move your fire further away from them. Use Surtling trophies on vertical item stands as a light source in and around your boar pen. Boars are not frightened of them. Or yellow mushrooms.

Wow - Thanks!

So, they are afraid of Fire no matter if they're in separate buildings? Seems silly to me, but at least I know why they're frightened now.

Just rearranged my Fire Pit and Braziers in the Long Hall. Once the boars were more than 7 of the 2x2 floor tiles away from the fire, they weren't frightened anymore.


How about the Portals - are they afraid of those too?
