spider wolf absent
I just got back into Space, and when I'm on Earth or an alien planet, there are no wolves or spiders, even after 15/20 minutes. However, both are enabled in the game options (I'm on a server).
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hi, do you play with Mods ?

Asking because some Mods removes wolves and spiders.
sometimes it takes time for one to appear, I have so far seen one every 2 or 3 hours

no mod
They are not prolific. I've had like three or four wolves on my new planet, and I've been playing a good six to eight hours so far.

Keep in mind there is always new Bugs to report after a game update so it may be a new bug that needs to be reported.

That said I never play with wolves but I can tell Spiders works fine :

I think it goes with the amount of grids we have, well last time I enabled wolves it was in existing world with a lot of stations and ships and wolves spawned in 5 minutes.
No wolves on earthlike in the montains with escape capsule start.

I went in-game and no wolves waiting 30 minutes at the easiest Biome on Earth that is the Desert where there is a ice lake, Spiders spawned in a few seconds while walking the snowy Pole of the Alien planet.

Conclusion, so far :

-> No wolves after 30 minutes at Earth Desert Biome.
-> Plenty of spiders spawing when walking on Alien Pole.

I will go use the Portal search tool to see if some already reported about Wolves.

Can't find any recent report about wolves so one of us will have to report to see what they will reply.

Info +

Looking at the changelog I see they worked on wolves but nothing about the spawn time.

- Fixed an issue with Wolves where their walk speed was faster than the animation. Walk speed now lowered to match the animation

- Fixed an issue with Wolves where they were unable to howl while wandering around; Known issue: Howl sounds currently cannot be heard by Clients on DS

I will keep testing as to know if they will spawn in later and will do the report if needed. they may have changed the spawn rate since Earth start is supposed to be easy.

Edit the samegame in the load dialog and turn monsters on.
I just watched a video by Splitsie where he encountered 3 wolves in an hour. Unsure if he had any edits for time but I don't think so.

Guys!

Another player just told me they got 10 wolves so far but took a few hours before they started to spawn.

Looks like we have time to build our Respawn station before wloves start to spawn in.

Oh! He also told me there was no meat in wolf coprs so one will have to report to let them know.
I tested the apex survival on earthlike and indeed get a regular supply of wolf meat thanks to my interior turrets.
