Bug Description:

According to the wiki, all Animal Pens should have the same taming speed. This seems to not be the case, as starting the taming of the same pet (rocknoses) in both the Small A.P. and the Reinforced one, will result in the ones in the Reinforced one being ready - while the one in the small A.P. is only at about 70%, or so. Not sure if this is intended, or some mistake during the implementation of the Small A.P.?

Installed Mods:

1. Pippi - User & Server Management - v3.7.5
2. Amunets Server Transfer - v1.0.30
3. Savage Wilds 1.3.37

---

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Place the Small Animal Pen next to a Reinforced Animal Pen
2. Put the same type of pet (in my case - it was the rocknoses) with the same food (in my case - silver dust) in both Pens.
3. Wait/speed up the time until the rocknoses have finished taming.
4. Compare the progress between the Reinforced A.P. and the Small A.P.

The highter level ones have more hit points to resist a purge, teorically.
Good find on the small animal pen speed.

The wiki is flat out wrong on Animal Pen taming speeds. The higher tier ones are definitely faster, Armoured is around x2 I think.

According to Testerle, who generated the wiki pages, the wiki only shows base crafting speeds without taking a station’s bonus or thralls into account.

The notes are then hand written, likely by someone assuming the crafting table was accurate for the specific station.

Apparently, how crafting speeds are handled will change with patch 2.6, so perhaps the wiki will be able to incorporate station crafting bonuses after then.

@Testerle looked into the crafting rates, so as of patch 2.6, the pens have the following crafting time multipliers (larger is slower):

Small Animal Pen: 1.5
Animal Pen: 1.5
Reinforced Animal Pen: 1.0
Armored Animal Pen: 0.8

I have updated the notes on all of their wiki pages to reflect this information.

That’s great Thank you to both you and @Testerle (and to @Haamre for raising the question )

We have now added a comparison table to the animal pen pages. The wiki table “Crafting” also takes into account the respective crafting speed bonus.

That is awesome Testerle!

I’m curious, does this translate to production speed? I have 7 gold veined rocknoses in 7 small pens. Would I be better off placing 5 of them in an armored pen with respect to gold production?

It’s been a long time since I’ve had 5 in one pen but it does seem these 7 aren’t producing as efficiently as my previous 5.

I suppose I could fire up single player admin and test this over a couple of days … unless someone already knows the answer?

every recipe is affected by the crafting speed.
