Pig House

Pig Houses are craftable structures where Pigs spawn and live. A Pig is spawned once a Pig House is constructed, and respawns after 4 days if killed. Pig Houses are naturally occurring in villages, with the possibility of containing the Pig King. Occasionally, an individual pig house can be found in the wilderness.

Trivia

 * One way of doubling rewards from killing pigs is by killing them during the day and deconstructing their houses at night (which is more reliable, as there is a set time needed to wait if one wants a pig to spawn). This will spawn another pig, even if every single pig in the village is killed during the day, although this method requires quite a lot of resources.


 * During nighttime, Pig Houses with Pigs in them will have a night light on. However, as soon as the player approaches the house, the light is switched off. The Pig will relight the light only when the player moves away.
 * Sometimes, in Pig towns, there are carrot, flower, grass tuft, or berry bush farms.
 * Since Cut Stones are somewhat limited and Pig Skins may be somewhat difficult to obtain, a good idea is to deconstruct houses generated in non helpful places (for example, lone houses in forest biomes that mainly just provide fresh meat for nearby spiders). A deconstructed house gives your character half of the needed materials to build a new house elsewhere. This may help characters create pig villages anywhere without wasting valuable resources and time.

Bugs

 * If placed along the shore, there is a chance the Pig will spawn in the ocean rather than on land preventing it from being able to get back on the island. Theoretically, if they become Werepigs, they will also be bugged.
