New playthrough, new problem....Beak Things

[evoSyvain]

So i go make my starter base in Vain as usual.... Yet i cant find beak things anywhere in Vain, no Beak thing nest the only animals i find are Gorillos, bulls, and the pack mule things...

I'm going to miss being able to have passive beak thing defense vs raids. the only passive defense i got are drones. :/

There are beak things elsewhere..

Some time ago, I had great fun running around and knocking gutters unconscious and releasing them around my base.. seemed to work quite well

Are you sure you have no mods that could have affected it?

Sometimes when things do not spawn as they should, importing the save seems to do the trick.

Beak thinks definitely should be present in Vain - there are not THAT many of them there, but I can consistently find a nest or two near the Hive Village just west of Hub, typically on the hills just north of it.

Are you spotting any nests or camps around? Not just from beak things, but any animal or faction? Or perhaps have you turned down the number of nests in the advanced options at game start?

Beak things in Vain are unique compared to other animals in the region, they only spawn via nests. But there is a shared cap of 15 nests/camps in the region, which in vanilla are all beak thing nests. But if you have a mod adding new nests/camps, or if you turned down the total nests count, it would drastically reduce their population.
