Piggy placement - Egg nibbling?

I'm just gettin into farming, and I want to grow an egg-tree so I won't have to worry about feeding my piggies. But the one I keep inside obviously can't get to an egg tree, and, though he didn't go straight  there like the butterflies, my other piggy seems to have eventually trapped himself in the 'pen' area. 
Is it simply not possible to feed a piggy with egg tress in an Alakol house? Or do piggies perhaps magically nibble any egg tree on the same story as them while their owner is logged-out? Any advice much appreciated!

*Note: While I guess the idea of the pen is kinda neat, I don't like it. I wanted my butterflies merrily flapping around all over my house!

  • There is no way to disable the "pen" in your house.  I don't think you can grow an egg tree in your Alakol house either.  Egg trees grow in dark patches, not regular patches.

  • Just get a few chickens and feed piggies with grain, works as well.

  • Yeah, a feeder is the best solution :) Just fill it with grain, it's cheap :D  Good luck!

  • Yup I use grain and just keep the feeder topped up, can always add another if your gone for long times I guess?
    I also hate the pens, I don't like having them all 'tidied away' it kinda feels, unglitch to me! An option for if it was active or not would be amazing.

  • The relevant skill for a feeder is Remote Herdkeeping, but that is IMO the best solution to your problem.
