animal spawn limit

[enduine]

Is there any way to limit the maximum number of animals on the map? Or to limit a specific species? I don't know if it's because of any mods that I have or it's also the case on vanilla, but after some time of playing my entire map is taken over by one species. The first time it was boomrats. There were hundreds of them. I got rid of them with an explosion in dev mode. Now rabbits are taking over my map. The fact that I only have one species on the map is annoying, but the worse is that with so many animals the game starts to run sooo slow... And I don't want to use the dev mode every time because it's a bit of a pain. Anyone have any idea?

hm, vanilla animals expanded and alpha animals (i believe) has some mod options for fauna density. although usually the game evens out the fauna via migration and predators for the most part.

you dont have the "free animal sex" thing mod installed by any chance? cause that thing just swarms you with them if you got lots of smaller "rabbity" critters that procreate like... well rabbits....

the game also should have something like a spawn-counter-limit, so it tries to put in the critters that are at home in your chosen habitat first, then all the other species. if you got a native one overpopulating it might be the reason why all others get blocked out.

my current game is on a modded rainforrest and my tamed animals are in like the 10x magnitude to the natural fauna for years now. so many that my pawns cant even tend them fast enough and they start leaving on their own...

i would try to counter it with blocking some species if you got a few animal mods, or get rid of the animal sex one if you got it. in any other case it might be a "bug" with mods colliding or something. i only had that behaviour with the sex mod thing once... was cute, but not feasable in the long run =).

omg, I get it now! It's because of this Wild animal sex mod!

I looked into this mod options and from what I can see I can somehow limit pray population, but I think I'll give it up, delete the mod completely and treat rabbits with explosions for the last time.

Btw. I found out that out of 1970 animals on the map, there was only 4 predators. No wonder they couldn't handle rabbit hunting.

This mod allows you to control which animals can spawn in each biomes, including how many and how often.

Oh thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for. I'll try this and maybe I'll be able to use Wild life sex mod along with this one

Yup, almost two thousand rabbits and me in the middle of this hell.
