Tips to Make Hard Shelter for Animals
Anything can be shelter. Yes, caves in the terrain can be really interesting shelters. Just let your imagination run free and try different things. Using the terrain stamp tool can really help with those caves. Consider the round one to cut out the shape and the cube one to finish off the floor.
The main tip – build a small hut for a medium size animal (a wildebeest for example) and look at the traversible area heatmap. This should give you an idea of how insanely large the hitboxes are for the animals, and how little benefit you get from a small enclosure. This will highlight the benefit of a square enclosure over a thin rectangle. It will also highlight that you need a fair bit of height on them, which is why the stock shelters don’t work for most animals now.
Once you’ve understood how much space a wall takes away you can then start building caves and houses more easily. For the caves, build a house to get the size large enough, then put rocks around it, then remove the house.
