THANK YOU FOR YOUR FEEDBACK AND PATIENCE
I'm currently working on some changes to improve the overall build and functionality thereof.
WHAT'S NEW?
-Revised and made adjustments to the beam placement for the Boar/Wolves to stand on to reduce the chance of a piggy or cub getting stuck instead of falling down (see the screenshots added)
-Improvements to the base structure.
-Added a staircase leading up to the feeding chests with some room for adding decorations.
-The whole structure is now covered with a roof to prevent weather from damaging it.
-Two gates have been added to enter the tower and for quick access to the pen below.
-Added a temporary ramp structure to get the animals up to the top of the breeder. Keep in mind that it makes the build slightly wider for placement. please see the attached screenshots and "GETTING ANIMALS INSIDE" below for the steps I used.
HOW TO INSTALL:
-Download the file through the mod manager or directly from Nexusmods.
-If you've downloaded it directly extract it from the .rar file and then copy it into your (SteamApps\common\Valheim\BuildShare\Builds) folder.
-Look for the build named "Breeding_Tower1.2.4" in your build list.
-Toggle to view the build before placing it so that you can rotate it to fit your base.
-The focus point is on ground level in front of the main entrance gate.
-Make sure to flatten the area that you will be using for the breeder with the beams below as they are 6 tiles below and thus will not hinder the breeding process.
GETTING ANIMALS INSIDE:
-Remove the back wall section of the breeder.
-Once you have two Boar/Wolves pushed slightly up the staircase snap beams across the walkway to prevent them from wandering down again.
-Continue to push both up the staircase and snap beams across as you go along.
-Once you've got both of them at the top with beams in place to prevent them from walking or falling down push them into the breeder the same way you pushed them up the stairs.
-Once both are inside the breeder have them face you while you continue to push them back and snap in the walls to keep them inside.
-Remove the floor closest to the breeder as well as the stairs closest to them (this prevents the AI from wandering around and they'll stop trying to turn round to get back out)
-Lastly remove the rest of the temporary ramp you built as you're making your way down it (careful not to fall)
PLEASE NOTE:
- To feed the animals I'd recommend downloading and installing the ("AUTO FEED v 0.3.0 or lower, with 0.4.0 animals can no longer eat from containers above them" mod by aedenthorn) as I've placed iron chests above the pen for the animals to eat from (no need to struggle with throwing food at a specific angle to only miss completely or have one of the animals not be in range of the food you managed to drop at their feet)
