I had 4 chicken coops which regularly supplied me with eggs originally and it had pigs and rabbits too up top on the same zone

i grinded fitness 6->7 from late November to the entire December thus neglecting my husbandry duties and when i came to check on my coop. the lag was unbearable and i aas crashing a ton. i had graphics to the lowest but it was still painful

i decided to check in the chickens and the overcapped eggs were hatching outside the coops. leading to a population boom of 1000

at first i tried culling them one by one by hand but they were laying more fertilized eggs than i could butcher. so i noticed that killing animals outside the zone doesn't stress them. so I removed their zone and hit em with my bat

the ENTIRE ranch got stressed and pigs started destroying the walls. i got fed up and started smacking literally every animal in sight, pigs, rabbits, chickens, baby lambs it was a bloodfest

since i closed the coops there are at least 50 dead chicken inside of them and 50 random chicks scattering around the zone

my base has tons of roaming animals now and god mercy on my soul as they slowly aggro zombies to my base

#

oh frames are stable now so I've left some animals to repopulate the massacred ones. i can't be bothered to butcher the corpses so I'll leave them be

thanks, was somewhat worried I'd just keep crashing but thankfully i culled them in time. i could also abandon my base to unload the area but i don't like moving loot like the loot goblin i am

A. was it legit overpop, or did you get hit with the bug?
B. last time the bug hit me, it was a secondary farm away from my main ( small farm at my base just for daily eggs) so i thought, what the hell, i got three shotguns and five boxes of ammo, time to train aiming
