Pig House

"You jerk! Let me in!"

- Willow Pig Houses are natural and 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 Pig Villages, with the possibility of the village containing the Pig King. Occasionally, an individual Pig House can be found in the wilderness.

At dusk and night, Pig Houses with Pigs in them will have a 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.

Tips

 * Since resources required to build a Pig House are quite demanding, a good idea is to find and deconstruct naturally generated houses found on the map, and rebuild them in a preferred place. Each deconstructed house gives back half of the resources required to build a new one.
 * Also, it's not recommended to build Pig Houses too close to one's base, since they eat rot and food items on the ground and one may be accidentally left outside and turn into a Werepig.

Trivia

 * According to WX-78, Pigs decorate the insides of their homes with pig-shaped furniture.

Bugs

 * If the Pig House is placed along a shore, there is a chance the Pig will spawn in the ocean rather than on land, preventing it from getting back on the island. Theoretically, if trapped Pigs become Werepigs, they will also be trapped in the ocean.
 * After leaving a cave, it's possible for the light to be left on during the day.
