How many cannibals are there?

[DalekCyber134]

The developers stated that the cannibals are finite - you kill 'em all, they're all gone.

Has anyone discovered a definite amount?

Perhaps that's a bug, and if they were telling the truth, I think around 30 would be way too easy if you were planning on killing them all.

Same here, I have killed over 30+ never bothered to count acurately

Saw a livestream of someone with like 30+ something large effigies which must've meant at least 70+ were killed by that time.

I would assume they are endless right now which is good last thing I want is to have nothing but lizards and bunnies to kill. Plus we still have half an island we have not seen yet, maybe we will encounter a new kind or rival tribe of natives.

So far, I've killed over 130 of them. I really hope there is a finite amount, because my plan IS to kill them all.

[REAPER-R32]

If we kill them all what other challenges are there in the game none so unless they introduce some other enemy this may as well stop being a game and turn into a building simulation.

Hi can anyone tell me how/where they spawn? I have a plan to seal off a cave entrance with hbd traps and walls and make that my base - and I don't want them teleporting into my face.

They spawn all over the place whenever the game code finds it suitable. Trying to prevent them from spawning is going to give you more than just a hard time. They surely wont spawn inside your own walls but dont think they wont get into there sooner or later.

TY man. BTW I've noticed that the small cabin attracts most amount of aggro. Like 24 hours there will be cannies around you can never sleep...

As a matter of fact, they do :-)

Taking into consideration that "your own walls" is not meant to be like an entire beach castle where the virtual player radius cant reach anymore, then no.

If your base is like f*youknowwhat*big which leaves a lot of unused space or if you leave your base for a certain amount of time, then they most probably find your way in there too but spawning there is something I have neither seen nor been reported by from other people.

If you prefer a good hiding place with no cannibals spawning, you might want to build here:

OK so after a few hours of trials this is my conclusion:
- They spawn whereever you are not looking including inside walls.
- Best camp spot is outside of cave entrance. Why? Enter the cave will zone you and all cannibals will be deleted.

Thats what I like the most when I feel harassed by them cannibals and a cave entrance is nearby: Hop in, hop out, gone :D
