0009246: Animals only move very rarely when brought to a pasture

Notes
(0033780) dglidden (reporter) 2015-12-11 15:38	I can confirm. I rely on fowl/egg industry a lot for generating food. In 42.02 none of my birds move except to go to a Nest Box. Once I have a hundred chicks or so, dragged to their pasture, this causes problems with them fighting with each other because they have been kept too close, despite being in a huge pasture. They rarely, if ever, move from where they were led.

They don't seem to be starving yet so somehow they're getting enough moss to eat on the 1-2 tiles they occupy?

I have four new single species pastures built fully enclosed and the animals are all crowded into the top right corner and killing each other, but the first multispecies pasture I made that isn't enclosed has the animals spread out properly. The newer pastures had all the animals assigned in one go and I see dwarves occasionally going in there to pasture the animals who are already stacked in a big heap.

(0036822) FantasticDorf (reporter) 2017-10-30 06:18	The only time i have seen animals move is to be closer to meeting sites within the boundaries of the pasture, or to pursue food/drink stealing from stockpiles post-taming and these activities can cause them to crowd around doors sometimes & prompt dwarves to move them back into the pen as seen in 0000797 Giant Rats & naked mole dogs particularly have to be kept in sealed containment to stop them attacking your stockpiles and they will aggressively path out of the assigned pasture crowding doors & barriers. A screenshot of dogs & animals preferentially huddling over to the west side closest to (which is deconstructed now but was directly adjacent) the wagon ( https://puu.sh/yaCz8/dbe474c6c1.png [^] ) All of those animals have remained mostly stationary in that area.
