Peaceful Mode?

[crystalkickboxer]

All of these updates that are coming in, I have to ask, will there ever be an option to turn off predators? When I play ranch sim, I play because I want to take a break from survival games and just enjoy building up and running a ranch. I don't see any purpose or true need in having bears or wolves suddenly attack me when I am getting supplies. It becomes stressful for me and takes away from that relaxing gaming mode that I am looking for.

So ranchers dont deal with bears and wolves? This says its a simulator, not sure what you were expecting, but I guess I understand. Maybe another quite cozy game is what you need? Im not sure what you were expecting from a Ranching Simulator game? However, having a option to turn predators off could be a option... but for now, theres bigger fish to fry in this slow developed game.

There is a game called Satisfactory you might like. Its mostly about constructing a bunch of factory's to acquire resources off of a new planet. You make stuff with those raw resources as well. However its a mental game. Its designed for smart players. The more you progress the more complex the factories you design will get. As for this game, having to deal with an attack every so often is just part of life dealing with a Ranch. They may not have it set to where the Ranch only gets attacked one time every few days or maybe once a month. So it wouldn't be so bad.

Can we die? I mean, I've been attacked quite a bit and haven't had any issues or deaths. There is no health bar that I can tell, right?

That being said, I understand not wanting predators (or at least the predators to attack, the bears are really good for wild meat), and think that an option to turn them off is wonderful. I LOVE customization in games.

I have a few games that I play for peaceful relaxation. I play Planet Crafter a lot and there will never be predators or any other "dangers" except for the oxygen, food, water, and fall damage that can kill you - per the devs. I love that game!!

I've found if you shoot a predator and don't collect the meat, just leave the body where it lies, then it won't respawn. I haven't seen a live bear in very long time and wolf encounters are now very very rare.
