I had an instance where animals were walking thru my totem walls. After grabbing a video of it, I realized, that the bear I captured is using the very small gap in between the edge of the gate and the totem. It definitely isnt the size to let a bear in, but at least it isnt that an animal is walking thru a wall. Since there is a gap, I dont know if there is anything to fix, specifically, but I wanted to let you know in case.

- Path-finding: Creatures should follow more direct and proper paths around obstacles such as trees, boulders and buildings when chasing you or wandering around.

- Path-finding barriers: Creatures should never go through walls now. If you can get a creature to go through a wall someone, please let me know the location and exact circumstances.

I have had animals walk through my walls - multiple animals, multiple times. I am on the PVP server, in zone: 1021 position: X: 491.92; Z: 1016.49

Just a list of things I thought might help:
* I know its a harder zone area;
* All 4 walls of totems are spaced as close together as possible - each wall has a gate (one side has 2 gates);
* I did have a campfire going (although I know it isnt the same as it used to be with that);
* I have no floors down (therefore not considered blocked);
* Noone helped me build the walls, and I didnt have any errors what had to be fixed;
* The gates were closed; it happened to multiple walls, not the same area
* I was not being chased from outside into my camp - The most recent time, I was in my camp at the totem looking in baskets
* I have had a bear, but also a blue mutant coyote and a small hamster ish type of animal.


edit: Also, the bear could see me through the wall. I just thought I would mention it, but I have a video of that too, if it helps.


Thanks!

Ok. I'll take a look at that location. Walls built from totems like that are tricky. The collision for path-finding works best with regular walls. I'll use this specific location to improve the system though.

Thanks!

I've made some adjustments to the blocking range of the gates and pillars that you used for walls as they weren't blocking enough space. This is currently only on the Test Server (through the launcher).

Could you check your camp again on the Test Server? I checked after my changes and walls there were properly blocking creatures now.

If you play only through Steam, let me know and I'll set up a Test build through there.

Thanks!
