Pig capturing should be removed (or given a greater limit).

Even now with kidnapped pigs no longer being accepted at altars or vendors, pigs disappear at an alarming rate off of the main streets.
I placed four pigs in a small 'island' in Marrakesh with grain, and a note to leave grain for them.

All four were gone within three hours.

So, the options are:  a) Hog-tied pigs will no longer be accepted at auction,
or                              b) removal or greater limitation on the ability, since kidnapping + selling seems to be the norm lately with pigs.

  • Perhaps the reason they were gone is because you left them on an island with no chance for them to self-sustain themselves.  I know when I see piggies on an island I try to capture one and move him to a street that has trees so he can feed himself when hungry.  What's your rationale for leaving them on an island?  I always thought it was just cruel glitchen wanting them to starve to death.

  • Piggies appear to require at least one veggie per piggy per game day.  I don't know if 1 grain counts as 1 veggie.

    Please release piggies near trees.

  • Having left grain for my home piggies when I had a cave home, I can confirm they do not eat grain on the ground.  They do, however, eat beans and cherries on the ground.  But with piggies in public places, it's best to leave them near trees so they can munch when they're hungry.  I can almost guarantee that any 'food' left on the ground for piggies will get snapped up by glitchen with sticky fingers (there are many).

  • I've noticed the opposite problem; ie- some streets getting totally overrun with piggies. I think the option to capture/relocate is important to control the pig populations.

  • I would have rescued one of your island piggies and taken it to somewhere with trees. Your piggies were probably rescued by well-meaning glitchen.

    Capture/relocate is necessary as long as piggies can be overpopulated or placed in inappropriate places.  What might be useful is for piglets to refuse to be fed (like they do now in the temporary party streets)  if there are too many piggies on a street or no trees/patches.
