A caravan hitching spot designates a place for caravans to gather around when forming. Pack animals will be led and roped to the Caravan hitching spot. Other Animals that have been designated to be brought along with the caravan will be tied to the caravan hitching spot to await the finishing of the packing. They may also be used on Event and Caravan Ambush maps to keep animals from wandering.
The caravan hitching spot should be placed in/near the main stockpile to minimize travel time and maximize efficiency. However, be aware that this location can quickly accumulate animal filth if placed indoors and not over a straw matting.
If your colony has no pen for animals, your colonists will automatically tie your animals to the hitching spot. But be aware that if they cannot reach any food, they may starve, so this should only be a short-term solution, until you can provide a pen with appropriate grazing food and/or nearby hay to feed animals hitched here.
Acquisition
There is no cost, build time or skill requirements for placing caravan packing spots, just select them from the misc tab in the architect menu and place them.
Version history
- 1.3.3159 - Renamed from caravan packing spot to caravan hitching spot and functionality significantly expanded. Caravan hitching spot now can be used to keep animals in place on temporary maps. Animals will eat and sleep within their rope area if they're roped to a spot. Added an alert that shows when hungry animals are tied to hitching spot.
Trivia
In the 1.3.3136 unstable build, the caravan packing spot was replaced with a caravan hitching post that required wood and work to be constructed but functioned similarly to the hitching spot. This construction requirement was abandoned in the 1.3.3144 unstable, and spot implementation that would eventually come to the stable was used instead. This is why several entries in the version history refer to the post.
