Once you get a lox farm going, it's meat and rugs for days!
I tamed them just by running through, dropping food and running away again. They chase you for a bit but then go back to where they were and they eat. If you have a base or build one within the vague vicinity of where they are, you can just keep feeding them until they're tame. (Pro-tip: don't immediately run back to your base if they're chasing you. LOL) Then you can ride or push them to whatever area you want to keep them in. You don't need to do lock them up anywhere to tame them.
I have a meadow base that is at the foot of a mountain with a long, thin patch of plains between. The plains had four lox that spawned in that area so we did drive-by cloudberry and barley drops. Once they were tamed I just pushed them both down the hill into my base and quickly walled them into a big paddock. Now I've got between 20-30 at any time. I love my babies.
Boars are a different story, you need to catch them and pen them in so you can feed them and tame them easily - they're a pain to move if they're tame and not penned in. Just build a pen with a door, go scare one and let it chase you into the pen, then quickly close the door and feed. Done.
Have fun!
Yeah i'm also tempted by the easiness of harvesting tamed Lox
i did think about the drive by method, but if i'm not nearby the aclimitizing% won't increase, and ends up wasting the cloudberry
my situation is also similar, with thin strips of plain beside meadow and swamp, have 2 lox which i wanted to tame
but in any case the question still stands, now that the 2 lox have been tamed and brought to base, away from the spawning spot. will new loxes appear since none are there anymore? @_@
