Animal and Bandit Spawning Question

[NorthWestTrees]

Not sure if anyone has the exact values of structures that you need to disable animal and bandit spawning, I know crows don't follow this rule but if you have a few structures over time the animals will simply not spawn near the village.

I want to know more about this because it could come in handy when picking where to place your buildings and finding good spots to disable bandits or other animals like bears boars wolves etc.

only issue is I am not sure what the true conditions are to make that happen, I just know crows don't follow the same mechanics as most other animals like rabbits, foxes or boars.

I think bandits might work too but I yet to test this out.
If anyone has any information if you could share it with me that would be a huge help.
Thanks in advance <3

Spawn-Points are blocked in a 75m range around your buildings.

Thanks! this will be vary useful I gave you some points ;)

Oh dear, thx! Happy, that I could help. 😉

I'm wondering if the map is helpful with this. If you block a spawn point with your building, does the spawn point disappear from the map (on the spawn filter)?

I think it does Morri, I built in front of Hornica mine to have miners live out there and the bear spawn point in front of the mine is gone from my map ... and no bears appeared as soon as had started to build there.

[TheRealMuehle]

They do for sure. The last house I've build made a nearby Moose-spawn vanish from the map.

Ah, good to know! It's a bit difficult to try and figure out a good spot for my hunting lodge so that it's close enough to animals to see my hunter(s) sometimes go out chasing them, but not close enough to make the spawn point disappear!

Ah, good you remind me! Asked a few times, but still got no real answer.
Does anyone know, how large the hunter's max. range for detecting animals is?

Das weiß ich jetzt nicht wirklich, aber ich habe festgestellt dass mein Jäger immer erst dann die Jagdhütte verlässt, wenn ich zuvor ein Stück in den Wald gegangen bin und (sobald ich das erste Wild gesichtet habe) mich zurück zur Jagdhütte begebe er dann plötzlich aus seiner Hütte kommt und sich auf den Weg zur Jagd macht.

Das habe ich einige male so gemacht und zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten getestet. Habe jetzt mal einen neuen Spielstand gestartet um zu sehen wie es sich da verhält. Bis jetzt hat mein Jäger die Jagdhütte noch nicht verlassen, aber ich habe mich auch noch nicht auf den Weg in den nahe gelegen Wald begeben. ;)

Danke für den Tip, Antika!
Trotzdem: Eigentlich war die Frage eher an Moderatoren und Bughunter gerichtet,
die es entweder wissen müssten, oder zumindest mal "kurz" im Programm-Code nachschauen könnten.
Wäre nett ❤️

Vielleicht meldet sich ja dahingehend noch jemand, damit du eine zufriedenstellende Antwort erhältst. ;)

For me the funniest moment came when my 4 hunters came out hunting together. I had just finished chopping a tree down and nearly hit them.

As they kept drawing their bows and shooting at anything in the area I followed. Shortly after they came upon 2 wisert and began shooting them. I panicked and began to shoot the wisert to protect my hunters. Luckily I was able to kill both wisert but not before they had head butted my hunters repeatedly Bam ... ooof bam ... oooof. THAT looked so funny

Thing was at no time did they sneak or attempt to get close to game without alerting it.

For this to work properly you need to wait a season for it to take effect, however, from what I have seen even basic decoration like fences will do the trick just fine, I disabled a wolf location in the wood near my main city using one or two fences I waited a season and the icon was no longer on the map, its not close enough for buildings to reach so fences should work, the range seems to be 75m so you can simply place a fence down. However one thing to note is this effects all animals and bandits in the 75, radius from the decoration so make sure you place them in a place where it won't disable things you want to keep like dears or moose.

As far as bandits I have not tested it with a fence but my village has a couple buildings in the 75m range my barn being one of them and then my kitchen being the other, I am aware of the two spawn location because I used to have to avoid them before I moved my entire village to the new location, (Took like 3 years in game XD) but they don't spawn in the locations any more. There is a couple more spawn location west from my location though on the main road, that might be worth giving a try one is on the bridge going to Rolnica there is also a small patch of forest going east by the bridges that has a spawn location too you might be able to disable both if you place a fence just right. Also the mine by Branica has a bandit spawner it turns out I had to kill like three of them before claiming the cave XD

This is my map location and the spawn locations I know of.

the one to the south east I kind of remember from when I first got the game they are by a small out cropping next to the river not sure exactly what part but its around there roughly.

If anyone else knows of locations let me know I might make a better map with the locations and post it on my website.
