Where can i find animals?

[Da Blood Priest]

I am playing in multiplayer and right niw on day 11, all animals I found were 3 deer, snake and 2 chickens. All of them started appearing only after the 1 blood moon. Are animals in this game bound to spawn after a specific day or I am just not searching well enough?

Animals are rarest in the forest biome. It's unexplained and completely unintuitive because of course that's where they should be most common. Fewer zombies, weaker zombies, better climate, far more abundant food and water. But they're rarest there.

Deer are more common around dawn and dusk. Which is surprisingly realistic for 7DTD.

Snakes seem to occur mainly in fixed locations. Some POIs. An arrangement of hay bales and some rubbish next to a crossroads.

Rabbits are good at hiding, so if you do happen to be near one in the countryside you might well not see it unless it moves.

If you're set on hunting animals, there's a perk for it. It shows animals on the compass part of the HUD when you crouch, if any are within range. I forget what it's called because I never hunt animals so I've never used it.

As far as I've been scavenging, I often see deer, chicken, and some cougars whereabouts in winter zone and the desert, though I never bother activating hunting perks or whatsoever frequently spam most of them during my wander, I think. However, these zones I mention are quite dangerous to beginners or characters who possess low levels as they are usually home to feral types, infected animals that are hard to take down, and so on

I would recommend deer hunting or firing some chicken if you find one. Rabbits, well, you should practice your accuracy skill as they are small and quick but that should be better with your guns scoped crossbows or stealth approach. have your pick

if you come across with snakes, that's your lucky day. they are easy to kill and can be seen anywhere. Snakes will always hiss and attack you. If you hear them, stop moving and look around so you won't get hurt and can kill them immediately. For me, snakes are likely to appear at night, so ears open.
