:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
When you place a foundation on hostile animals (wolves, crocodiles, jaguars etc.) the animals will walk off the foundation. After they’ve walked off, they should continue trying to attack your villagers, but they stay completely still afterwards, not attacking anything afterwards. This effectively means it’s very easy to bypass hostile animals on maps where they’re plentiful and something to worry about - Black Forest, Scandinavia, Wolf Hill etc.

(In case of custom maps, I guess it’s sort of a welcome bug because of an already-tracked issue where hostile animal attacks do not produce an alarm sound. Fight fire with fire, or in this case a bug with a bug. 11)

:arrow_forward: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

:point_down: How often does the issue occur? CHOSE ONE; DELETE THE REST!

  • 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

:point_down: List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Play on a map with hostile animals such as Black Forest or Wolf Hill.
  2. Move a villager next to a hostile animal (wolf, jaguar, crocodile etc.).
  3. When the animal starts attacking the villager, place down a building foundation (house is easiest to try with) on the animal to force the animal walk off the foundation.
  4. The animal is now completely docile and will not attack anything ever again, even if you are right next it or even if you attack the animal yourself again, they won’t even retaliate.

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

:point_down: What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?
Hostile animals should stay aggressive after they’ve walked off the foundation.

:arrow_forward: IMAGE

:point_down: ALWAYS attach a PICTURE (.jpg, .png, .gif) or VIDEO (.mp4, YouTube link) that highlights the problem.


Bonus: villager aggressively petting a snow leopard.
