Are animals scared of the mini bike?

[count9us]

I was trying to go hunting figuring the mini bike would help me cover more ground but I didn't find any game, when I got off I walked a ways and found some. I'm wondering if the noise or something stops game from being near by when your on the bike? What have you all found?

well ocasionally i run over a deer or pig... so i guess it depends on the biome you're in, i guess.

but yeah, it IS possible the noise scares animals AND attracks zeds... but i dont know.. need to find some dev-notes on that i guess :)

I think you're loading the chunks way too quickly for the animals to spawn.

Drop into your console and read the log. You'll see the second you enter a "chunk" the various animals/zombies/etc will spawn in. They usually spawn in at a distance so they no longer appear to "pop in" in front of you. Once you leave that chunk they can despawn to save memory.

What I think is happening is that you're going so quick through each chunk you're not giving the stuff time to load.

Check your logs.

Wow that's actually a good idea and makes sense. I'll try it thanks, would suck though. perhaps stop and go tatic then. Go some distance and then stop for a bit then again, for hunting. Or get off and hunt on foot like the good old days, need feathers anyway.

Easily roadkill pigs deer and bear but i just shoot bear not risking blowing up my minibikes
