Stay near the pigs.



Seriously though, there's limitations to what the game can do. If it was expected to simulate every entity and all their actions across the entire world at all times....we wouldn't be able to get a computer to run the game.

Yes and no. Crops still grow while you're gone. Granted that boar breeding is not as easy to simulate as (current timestamp - seeding timestamp) but there are ways to try to "fake it".

Crop just take the last part of a breed system : the little pig/wolf growing , these can grow too when you are away from them but breeding needs to be in a 64m near of you because works as a "spawn" system and for that you need to be near , thats different from crop that you just make the spawn of the planted verdure right there ....
I adds that wolves and pigs can keep eating their food when you are far of them but not breeds .... , so feed the animals when you are near too because makes a waste
