Hunting for a specific animal in Vallis

[Jodyxe]

Is it possible to prevent certain animal trails from spawning in order to hunt for a specific one only?

I spent 1 hour in Vallis, hunted all trails and not a single Kubrodon trail spawned. Are they random or is there a pattern?

P.S. I own all 4 lures, during the hunt was using new sentinel with its precept mods.

Were you using the Scan Lifeforms precept? Because it bugs out the whole hunting, without it i can get kubrodons without a problem, hell ill be farming the same 2 call areas over and over again. While if i use that precept i get nothing popping up.

Yes, I did. But even if this mod is bugged, still, can you make kubrodon, or any other animal, only trails to spawn? We cannot unequip lures unfortunatelly, so once they are owned, they applied to your secondary gear wheel by default. But maybe there is some other way.

During find poop (starting point), you can change to lure of specific animal and it will filter to show only their spot on map. If none spawn,tried re-enter vallis.

Thank you, I will try this method.

In case if someone is facing same or other issues regarding hunting in Orb Vallis:

1. In order to hunt for a specific animal after equipping tranquilizer you have to equip the lure for the animal you want to hunt, all the animal trail icons on the map will reappear, leaving only the ones that you desire (want to hunt Kubrodon only? - equip the lure for it and there will be kubrodon only trail icons on the map);

2. Currently either the newest sentinel ”Oxylus” or its presept mod ”Scan Lifeforms” causes bugs and drastically decreases variety of spawn trails of various animals (entire map will be filles with just Pobber trail icons, very rarely with trais of other animals);

3. In order to completely reset animal trail spawn you have to leave not just Orb Vallis, but Fortuna as well. You have to come back to Orbiter if you faced with a bug caused by Oxylus and enter Orb Vallis again, with a different sentinel.
