Not sure whether I'm doing something wrong and this is a normal function of the game or the game is messing with me, but my farm animals keep disappearing. I have had issues with them escaping before, but not like this. I have currently six 2x3x2 pens using glass blocks for both pigs and cows. Half are completely sealed and half have no roof. The floor of each pen is made of hoppers which link to a central chest.
I thought I was being cleaver by using hoppers to collect the meat and leather, but i have noticed a couple things that are happening that seem weird.
1) In two of the sealed pig pens I found that two pigs had died. (the hopper had collected the meat and moved it to the chest. same for one of my sealed cow pens.
2)Additionally, in one of the unsealed pig pens, when I was breeding, a baby pig was able to jump over the two high wall of glass and escape (it also managed to jump back over into the pen saving me a lot of problems).
Now I thought that animals could only jump 1 square high same as you, but are baby animals treated differently? Also, do animals kill each other or themselves at anytime? Or can animals suffocate just from being in an enclosed box?
Note: I will not use fences again until the glitches that keep allowing animals to walk through them are fixed (It is very annoying).
Have you tried sending them to intensive therapy and treating them with anti-depressants? Some Pig Zoloft should do the trick.
Now seriously, this sounds like a bug with hoppers (maybe their collision box since I've heard it's incorrect). Seeing as hoppers are pretty new, I'd just give it some time to get fixed and just farm livestock the old fashion way in the mean time.
Baby animals aren't any different from their parents so this is most definitely a glitch that's out of our control sadly.
