I finally managed to tame two Lox and get them back to my base and put them into the rather large stone-wall pen that I had already built for them. I was so excited to have a mount... and a cute wooly one too! At first, everything went great. Before I knew it, I had 3 Lox, then 4 (omg the babies are too cute!!!).

Then they started sticking their heads through.... not over.... **through** the stone wall. Apparently the "collision" coding isn't quite finished in the development process. Okay, it's EA... I'm okay with that (but do wish it wouldn't happen). Then their first night in the new home came... and with the night, Graylings. My gigantic wooly friends went absolutely insane. They reared up and stomped and charged at my stone walls, broke the "water trough" (hot tub) that I had decorated their pen with, broke the feeding platform I'd build for them, and then it happened....

I watched as one Lox bulldozed it's head under the belly of the other one, lifted it up over it's head and, yep... right over the 2-stone-walls-high fence I'd built. It was on the loose with graylings and a boar nearby... it stampeded, it stomped, it killed, it broke things I'd had out as decorations around the place. It broke the chest with barley in it that I had by their pen. It just wrecked things.

So after that first night with my new friends, I made some design changes to their pen. Surely a fence 3 stone walls high AND iron bars all the way around would stop them.

Nope.

They still lift each other over the top. They still break the stone walls. They still break the wooden gate. They still give birth to babies outside the walls. They still stick their heads through the now iron bar reinforced stone walls.

TLDR: Please fix the collision controls on the Lox, and **please**....

For the Love of Lox... please....

Code in a way for us to make tamed animals NOT attack things unless we want them to. It's fine if they get scared, but please let us "tell" them to either "guard" or "be passive" (a way to toggle between the two). And please, let us just LEAD them with or without a saddle on.

I panicked for a couple seconds, until I figured out he meant, "Early Access".

for mobs, try spawn-proofing with base structures. can build little workbench outposts on the sides of trees, or "underground", creating a huge no-spawn area.

for babies popping out, 2-3 layer deep walls? for boosting over walls, maybe a roof of some kind?

Well, my problem is, I'm not even getting this far. I only ever had one wolf. Whenever I try to get a second one, the first one meets an untimely demise... :P
