still works in the ashlands play test

For anyone wondering, this still works for Mistlands PTS. Built one myself and still working perfectly with boars. Have not tried with wolves yet, will edit when I get there. EDIT: Yup, still works with wolves too. Absolutely no problems with either. Happy breeding!

He's returned to us when the world needed him the most

Optional (only if you have visited the frostcaves): I would enclose the top platform protecting the piggies, as you now will get the "you stirred the cauldron" event. You dont want to get that event while feeding the pigs, or when pushing them up the ramp. Had the event at my base the other day. The bats killed almost all of my piggies as i was around the boarpenn when they showed up. They also killed three 2 star wolves, so yeah.. the bats are dealing lots of damage..

I’ve been waiting for this sooo long cuz the other hearth and home unlimited boar farms require so much space and resources. Amazing video and very good instructions!

PSA to all those who it is not working for: I just did this but I had to replace the Wood wall with the round pole fence. The boars were not eating/reproducing with the wood wall but I lined up the round pole fences a close as possible. Once I destroyed the wood walls they were eating and I got the reproduction heart animation. TLDR: replace full sized wood wall with round pole fence

still works as of 3rd October 2023 :D

I will say, I watched some of your old tutorials or at least videos *I can't remember if they were tutorials or just your "lets play" of valheim where you showcased different farms* but your overall tutorial presentation and walkthrough is very professional and well done. Good job!

If people are having issues with their boars and breeding. Try putting a fence instead of the full wall. It seem to work for me when my boars weren't fully pushing their heads into the wall.

Glad to have you back! Loved your Valheim series, and would be ecstatic to have a continuation or reboot!

For any one wondering, yes it still works for both boarr and wolf :)

This works really well with a multi level watershed type farm. If you build a long stretch down a hill of crop farms and terraform a cliff, you can grow the carrots right next to the boars to keep feeding them. If you're able to get the cliff to be tall enough, no need for log beams or a ramp. You can also go fishing or make a fish farm on the shore at the bottom, so crazy amounts of food. I haven't gotten to the plains yet, but if you spawn proof it, you could probably do the same and grow those crops too.

For some strange reason my boars were not reproducing when there was just two of them in a giant playground sized space, thanks to this build now they are multiplying rapidly, best thing about this build is that it isn't complex and didn't take much time.

I just started playing again like a week ago and thought to my self i need to make a automatic boar farm. And then you post this. What a coincidence. Brw love your vids man keep it up😁

This was the second video I watched about an unlimited boar farm... the first one took me about an hour and a half to build and didn't work. This one took me about 10 minutes to build and works like a charm. Thank you!

Harpoons can also be used to move boars around. Just enable pvp and the harpoon will hook them. I’ve only tried it with 2 stars and the harpoon never did enough damage to kill them.

I found it easiest to push the boars up while blocking with a shield. Doesn't require any stamina. If they started walking in the opposite direction down the ramp, just hold your ground (stop pushing) while blocking with your shield until they stop walking or turn around.

This is a great boar farm and a nice easy step by step video. It seems some changes in the recent patch make it not work properly as is. Boars don't eat through walls or breed through walls now? I think. I made some slight changes to this design and got it working again. remove the pen divider so the pen is a wide "U" shape, instead on an "M" shape. make the back wall, and side walls twice as high. Place a 26degree roof over the boars heads, opening forward. Run a 1m beam from left to right walls up high, so that when you throw food INTO the pen, it hits the beam and then falls at the boars feet. Hope this helps. Edit: Oh, I forgot to mention - change the front wall to a half wall - so you can throw food in.

I just finished building this today, and it works! The production is insane. You don't even need a 1 or 2 star boar, because of the insane production.

I do not play valheim, i never played valheim, but i love the way you explain things so here i go looking at your tutorials again

Thanks so much for this! I love it! Just wanted to add an accidental discovery... you can actually fit a total of four boars in here. Not sure how it happened, but through some odd turning or something I had 2 that grew but the rest were falling out correctly. Double output!

February 7 2024 The farm works, tested on wild boars, most likely on wolves too. If the animal does not eat food, then instead of a half-wall, install 2 vertical 1 meter beams so that the animal’s face sticks out

This man has the potential to be the ianxofour of Valheim. Ian's farms on Minecraft are top notch in simplicity and wildly efficient, especially for the amount of work put in. Well done.

Problem with getting boars to eat solved: The trick is to throw the food perfectly against the wall (as close to the boars as possible). I found a way to do this consistently: stand behind a wood wall half exactly 4 meters away from the target and throw it. It's the perfect amount of space to get the perfect throw every time.

Amazing build! I have a drake issue, so have had to enclose everything. The boar farm worked perfectly, but one of my wolves turned and wouldn't stick his head back through the wall. I tried resetting him and he ate the other wolf's food when he was out and they finally bred. Back in the pod, he still refused to turn and stick his head through the wall. I tried moving the food so many times it's ridiculous. After a couple hours, I finally gave up and replaced him! Now the farm is working fine. I used a covered pit for the offspring and completely enclosed the structure. The only difference was having to use 45% angle roofs over the wolves as they block the 26.5% roofs.

This design is great! I found it incredibly easy to incorporate into my already existing boar pen. Thanks so much!

thank you so much for this it works so well :D also i found that wild boars will just follow you up the ramp without falling off so all you gotta do is make a platform on the opposite edge and trap them in when they go to hit you!

Happy to see you uploading again. 😀

Just finished building this. Two things I would like to add that maybe obvious to others but weren't to me. First when placing the 1st roof, make sure to attach it to the back of the 1m beam. When I placed it, I attached it to the front of the beam and it took me a while to figure out what I did wrong. Second, I didn't notice that you had flipped the portal around. I place the portal when I still had the ramp in place so my portal was facing the wrong way. Good thing I tested it before removing the ramp, otherwise when I entered the portal, it would have launched me into the air and to my death.

We might have to try this ,but would have to do another thing to your pin on the top. Need to have them in closed due to other mobs like bats or Drakes killing any thing that moves.

Worked great. I can expand the upper platform in front of the pigs as much as I want so long as i don't put anything to the side. I even took out the middle separator and pushed them closer together so I don't have to drop multiple food sources.

Thank you very much for this video! Very resource friendly. I put 2 of these back-to-back and it produces ~50 babies per hour! That's too OP lol, so I'll repurpose 1 of them for wolves

Still worked as of 1 jan 2024 for wolf and boar

Great video. I have a tip for anyone having problem with getting animals up the ramp. Use a newborn boar or wolf they're a lot easier to maneuver and use less stamina going up the ramp.

Great video. Thanks. Glad to see your work again!

Hey mate thanks for the upload, me and my son love watching your content. Keep it up :)

For the ramp, I use stairs bordered with simple 26' wood beams. It simple and effective, but also gives snap points to put a half-wall on the stairs to keep boars from walking down while you take a breather.

Great guide, only issue I had with the boars not eating, someone suggested using doors instead of wall and that worked, no issues with wolfs.

idk what your doin Broadbent but your videos are on the next level bro good luck man

I love watching your videos Broadbent keep making these amazing videos

I Can confirm it is working still in mistlands update. dec 2022

If anyone is having problems with the boars eating, and the wall nor the fence works, I found a way that will always work, your gonna wanna use the Wood Door instead, the door is tinner and their head comes thru alot more.

Boars and wolves still working like a charm - thanks for the video! I also got this to work with chickens by adding a couple vertical 1x1s on either side of both pen areas along with a couple slanted 1x1 horizontals to give the hens a 'seat' to stand over while still allowing the eggs to fall through. Now my only problem is getting the eggs to warm up - campfires, bonfires and hearths don't seem to do the job.

I watched several videos about this and this is not the only one that worked easily but, by far, the best explaination. Specially the butcher's knife's tip.

I thought the sky-cages were nerfed with hearth and home. I'm glad to see them back. I haven't played much but I look forward to coming back.

Instead of taming the boars on the ground, then taking them up the ramp, let them chase you up the ramp. Double fence the platform initially, and put a door at the top (and bottom) of the ramp. The boar will run up the ramp, then you can tame them up there. They don't seem to tame well in the final small pen, so I used the whole platform. Tame before you put the portal in as the portal's "fire" will frighten the boars.

I made it, works wonderfully. I just needed to change the thick walls to fences because the boars weren't breeding properly or I just didn't wait enough I don't know. It all works well now! Thank you for the tutorial.

Amazing, this is working so perfectly for me. Thank you for the quick, easy to understand explanation!

Still works for anyone wondering.

still working as of 1/9/23

Good to hear you again mate ;)

Great video & explanation. So easy to follow

If the Boars does not eat with Wood Wall try Roundpole fence instead, worked for me.

At 1:30 you missed the materials for the 2 portals That's an additional: 4 Surtling Cores 40 Fine wood 20 Greydwarf Eyes Cheers

Also might be good to put cover for the workbench so funny rain doesn't break it. Made this and the wolf cubs dont fall off into the pen below, they grow up and glitch onto the walls

As of Oct 30, 2023, this still works on vanilla! Props to you for this vid

PSA: THIS DOES NOT WORK!!! PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME BUILDING THIS! THE DEVS PATCHED BOARS TO MAKE THEM ONLY BREED WHEN BOARS ARE TOUCHING THE GROUND!!! No hate to content creator... just psa.

Damn bro, awesome video! Really eqsy to follow and you explain good! Thanks alot for the video! 👊😊😅

I bought this game when it came out, never got out of the bronze age until i eventually moved on. I thought id go back but never have. This video has inspired me though, so thank you.

Make more vids please, love watching them, and miss ya!

dem piglets rainin like little turds and surfing on the backs of other boars until they fall off the other side of the fence and be free - something poetic about all of this

That is awesome, will try it ! 😀

Wicked. Gonna use this. Thanks :)

I did it a few hours ago and it's working perfectly Thanks !!

Still works, just a few tweaks here and there but pretty easy and has room for adjustments as needed

still works thank you for the vid!

great video as always thanks

this is magnificent! i tried it and it really works!

this is dystopic.. I love it

Hey man! It's so nice to see you back. I'm wondering if you will ever get to making a video of the third trailer on Sons of the Forest?

November 2023- Working like a charm. Thanks yo!

Works for me 👍 thanks for the design.

Welcome back Broadbent.Hope you are well.Saw your grounded upload looks great. Weren"t you renovating your apartment? How did it go. And what do you think of all the changes and new content to Valheim?

This is crazy good, the hardest part was moving my piggies from 1 house to this place, simply because i couldent stop laughing xD Nice vid

Hi Brodbent love the vid's :)

liked it and bro good work! thx u bro for make it clear, usefull and ordened! Hope it works today!

As of May 2023 still works like a charm. Thanks!

This idea works amazing. I have made some adjustmesnt and have four animals up top 2 boars 2 wolves... concrete 4x4 at the bottom but the solid walls werent working for me since the animals would not eat unless i threw the food directly at them. my setup their eating comfortably for me so far the last 6 hours i have been watching it afk. Not sure if it will hold up but seems to be solid so thank you for the great idea.

Great farm build, quick question. Do I need to be in the vicinity for them to breed? I had put the farm a bit away from our base because we were getting raided a lot.

do you have to build it up so high? can you build a pit and then put this at the same "height" but from bedrock?

I just built the boar farm and can confirm it works, I hadn't even finished and they already spawned a baby. I can't confirm that it will keep working yet, but I will try to remember to edit this and update it after a few in game days. Update 1: I haven't finished taking the ramp down and there are 3 babies, I have not fed the boars or built the portal yet. Update 2: I can't seem to get the boars to eat through the wall. Update 3: I have finally gotten both boars to eat through the wall. Throwing the food is definitely the hardest part of this build. Update 4: Several in game days, 8 boar offspring. I demolished the ramp and replaced support pillar nearest to the raised platform with stone and core wood, then I built an extension of four wide by six long for more walking space. The sweet spot for getting the food where the boars could eat was the second core wood/stone platform where the core wood support snapped into the floor.

This is a good tutorial for the starters 👍

Do you need to keep it open or can you build a structure around and cover it up ?

heya, the last few times ive tried to do something like this the boars basically refuse to eat and breed. I read elswhere that they tried to fix the boar farms by making it so the boar needs to be effectively touching the ground. ive made it work using the same method but having the boars on the edge of a raised ground pillar with no issues. im impressed you managed to get it to work without them touching the ground

Would this work for Lox as well, maybe just a little bigger to acomodate thier larger size?

Do I need to definitely build with 3 core wood pillars? Can building up with 2 work? For the boat pen at the top? Is that high enough?

Working like a charm

Ok so IT WORKED now I ahve to make my own tutorial lol thanks for this one

very nice, though I also add two doors on each side to push the food against the wall for them :) could actually just be one door in the middle that goes each side to save on wood.

Does the player need to be near the farm for it to keep working? Or can I be on another island doing things and it will still produce? And if they do need to be near, whats the radius they have to be within?

So I just made one of these in survival, with scaffold and everything, no cheats, was working really well, so I dismantled the ramp and repurposed the wood as a spiral staircase up to the platform, looks great but not good for pushing pigs up. Was in the middle of "bat proofing" the top just in case, but had to go chop more wood... Cauldron event happened as I got back and bats killed everything, including the two guys up top! :( So... we need a bat proof version of this. Not sure how, since a hole in the floor is kinda needed for the piggies to drop through, and bats will fit through it.

5:00 pushing up babies (piggys or wolf cubs) is way easier than the adult animals. although with wolves they will just follow you. you just fill in the floor area where the piggys would drop out with 1x1 tiles and remove them when they are fully grown.

Just did it today. It's still working fine.

My first boar just decided to sprint the whole way up once I opened his pen on the ground. Hopefully the second boar is as compliant

It's bizarre, but.. it works and i love it, ty

Would it be possible to make this part of my castle walls do you think? I'm just making a new base and have two towers built at the front by the gate, was thinking of making one of the towers the top of a boar farm using this set up...

2 questions: 1-a boar spawned on the top platform...does that prevent more spawns? why did it spawn there? (happened during "a foul smell from the swamp) 2-how much space is it needed between this farm and another one??

Worked a charm for the Mistlands update in March 2023! The puppymulcher might be inhumane, but god DAMN if it isn't profitable!

Hey! Loved the video and I tried it myself. I was wondering how long baby piggies take to fully grow into adults? Thank you

Do you need to be close for this to spawn babies or can I voyage away and it will still function
