Wolves

[BenchWarmer]

I am trying to find out how often wolves spawn on an earth-type world. I enabled them a few days ago and within a half hour 3 of them attacked me. Since then, nothing. I have been in game for at least 6 hours since then.

Anyone know how often they spawn or is it random.? Tried to look them up on the wiki and they do not even exist as an entry!

Thanks.

HI, I am not sure about the spawn rate cause those got changed a lot in major game updates so I would have to go in to do more testing with wolves enabled (I always turn off), but seemed to spawn OK in my survival testing world.

+ They were "Bugged" for a long time and fixed in 2020 I think and did not played much with those so not sure if they need to be reported again, they were spawning 5000m away from the character but all good last time I tried, well they were spawning closer this time :

I'll say continue playing till they respawn again and report what you have found directly to the SE programmers or here and I will report your results to them.

They certainly did spawn in my last game

Think this was the second attack from them in a fairly short span. And I was out of ammo :( Did not proceed to chew through the drop-pod, dont think they can which was my old memory of metal-chewing SE Wolves. Then moved to a cliff-side and so dont know after that

From my understanding they are supposed to spawn during night-time, atleast much more frequent.

Last night, a week after the first wolf spawn in my game, a meteor hit one of my wind turbines. I rebuilt it and minutes later was attacked by wolves. Minutes later, another attack.

No idea whether building up your base triggers a spawn, but I hadn't done much with it until last night. Been gathering ores.

It was nice to finally try out a gun though.

They got changed/updated a few times so I really don't know if there is a specific time they spawn in now.

They did something like that in their other game where the enemy will spawn only after the player build a few large blocks to give safe time to the player, safe time to build the minimum but not sure if they did the same in SE.

For sure players want to have time to build so that may be why they don't spawn in all the time.

If you look at my pic all I had was the start-pod. Had built the necessary parts to get it moving away to a better position but that was just small blocks

Unless its also counts unpowered blocks, had 10 or so unbuilt blocks on a cliffside where I was going to build my base

Not complaining in this instance, part of the point of the start
