So, we put a 1 star Greydwarf in an iron cage, and closed the door, severed the harpoon, and he's just sat there happily not giving a hoot for any of us, not attacking the iron bars or the stone wall behind him (back bars of the cage overlap the stone wall, so he could hit it if he wanted) and it got us thinking of making a, for lack of a better term, Zoo...

My question here is, are mobs actually set to go somewhat passive in the cage, or is it just the Greydwarfs? Can we cage one of them nasty wolf monster things? A Sea Serpent? A Troll?

Does anyone know if, when lead into an iron cage, walls filled in and doors closed, will any mobs try to smash their way free, or will they all behave like our new 1* Greydwarf pet?

Should we get around to doing this prior to anyone else having the answers, I will consider putting something up as a guide covering all creatures this can be done with, and any particular steps one may need to take for certain things, i.e how to actually get a troll or sea serpent into a cage without getting totally clapped, or the ideal cage sizes for different things.

I have some ideas, and avoid 1x1 floors for the cells, 2x1 at least for ease of use, the iron door can and will shove you or your new prisoner through the bars, and if there's something else on the other side of the bars you may be stuck and unable to escape without destroying something, there is also no way to open doors towards you, only away from you, and you can't set a door to only open in a certain direction, if this were the case then 1x1 would be easier to deal with as you can avoid the aforementioned issues. (If you read this Devs, the option to lock doors, pull open as an alternative to push open, or a way to set doors to open in 1 direction (1 way cell door alternative crafting option so people can't open it from the inside, for the added RP factor or something?) Just some ideas!)
