Title Animals despawning in high densities

Launcher Type FTB Launcher

Modpack Direwolf20 for 1.7.10

Modpack version recommended

Have you modified the pack? Yes

Link to log file Added mods such as peripherals++, magical crops and gravity gun

Details of the issue I've noticed that my animals despawn if they are too densely packed. I have 4 auto feeders, with a single hopper feeding into each one and if I load out all 4 auto feeders with 5 stack wheat each I won't see an increase in animals, I've just now noticed, cause I just sat there and watched them to figure out why, that they were just desawning on their own.

peripherals++ is just some extra utility for the computercraft and mining turtles, gravitygun only adds the 2 gravity gun types, magical crops also only adds some resource crops from what i've been aware of

Umm.. I know you don't want to hear this. But the solution is simple. DON'T pack them in. It is a sure way to kill servers and cause lag and FPS issue. So my advise is DON'T DO IT. I've actually booted players from my server for doing this and this was after I gave them a couple warnings not to breed out of control in confined spaces.

A few point you're making doesn't apply to me, one is that I play on a single player world so lagging other people ain't an issue, also I don't want to use excessive amount of space for these animals since I'd just breed them and then thin out the heard as soon as they mature. The concern for lag and FPS drop isn't a problem either since I have a computer well equipped to handle far more than this

Unless you want to nametag all the animals, I don't think there is a solution. also, this topic is only 2 weeks old and you've bumped it 4x, have some patience.

2 weeks and moving into page 3. Be honest, how many posts on page 3 are ever being read again? I am still experiencing this issue and therefor the question is still relevant.

Are they despawning or are they glitching into the wall and dying?
they are despawning, my first thought as well was that they glitched and suffocated, so I took care of that, but after being there watching them as they were breeding, i saw them despawn right in front of me.
It looks like if they are too densely packed they despawn. I've looked in all config files that I thought could have this an option but didn't find any as well as read up on the various mods that could be the cause, but none of them explains this behavior.

Maybe nobody has replied because they don't know a solution.
AT the least they could've tried recreate it.

I have bot noticed this behaviour and I did not try to recreate it.
