Don’t put fences while drunk
Animal raising is low in my priorities list as is but I have to ask: how important really is to fence in animals? Do they ruin crops, disappear or run away if not?
Nah but it keeps any drops nearby and also they can’t eat the grass under the fence so it regrows easier.
Also prevents them from wandering somewhere else and getting in the way like any other NPC in town.
I do it for the grass thing, although I use non-fence stuff so it doesn’t decay. Lightning rods, for instance.
it looks pretty and helps keep your hogs from dropping truffles all over the place. It’s not vital.
Waking up hung over the next morning: “How… did I do that”
This early in the game, I generally don’t even bother with fences, especially for chickens.
