Yes, I want to address this.



wait this is actually a thing? big boss confirms?i seriously need to play this game more vigilantly. i have always played with an open map and tons of pets (especially muffalo for caravans and battles) and the grass only ever seemed to grow on the border of the map because the animals come to my base to sleep and the first thing they do when they wake up is to eat some grass, so of course first the grass nearby disappears.i solved this early game by having all my pets sleep in sleeping spots right at the border of the map because they are more spread out that way and therefore have more food available. downside is it is annoying to walk to them to train them, but i countered that by having easily trainable pets. another one would be them being far away from raids mostly and when they occur the raiders would always kill pets that arent even hostile towards them, so now i made them sleep in my barn where i grow corn next to a geyser under the light of a sun lamp indefinitely. that is enough to house even 70 muffalo over double-cold snaps with a winter right inbetween.tl;dr: didnt know this was a thing but i could always easily play around it without even realizing what the actual problem was. maybe ou should try harder? but maybe this only works because i play on easy maps and not tundra or desert.
