But no one knows exactly when or where the respawns happened, they could be from the herd you have reduced in number or a solitary animal if its a high tier gold, who generally do no stay in herds.
Zero. Sometimes I bag whatever's there, and then head elsewhere to clear out the pressure and see whether something new shows up. But like I said, the first time I went there, there were loads of animals. Now there are 1-2 at a time.
May be outdated info (I have not checked on this specifically lately) but as of last I knew, animals could take anywhere between 1 in-game minute and 6 in-game days to respawn. This only counts raw gameplay, not skipping hours/days via sleeping in the game.
Also you are correct in that while the respawn system did used to frequently respawn the same animals in the same places.... these days there is much more randomness to the respawns. The respawns are, however, generally always within 1 level of when they were last killed.
What seems to affect the number of/frequency of respawns the most is # of found need zones on your map and that you are killing enough for good respawns
However, the animal spawns will happen in every (sub-)region and will most likely not return to the same need zones.
The speculation comes from me mass killing grizzly bears and red foxes on Yukon, deliberately waited 7 days(not using resting) and no new animals were present.
So I decided to mass kill moose in Crowngold Wetlands and Teekon Forest and went to check every other region for them during the same day; While a few returned to the regions they were killed in, I found a significant amount of moose in Crimson Plain and Bankside Timberlands.
Its here that I assume its most likely to the discovered need zones influence the chance of an animal spawning within that region as I had a ton of moose need zones in Crimson Plain.
For the sake of clarity, I'm hunting Black Bear variants for the acievement, so I'm not looking to bump up rare males or anything. I'm just trying to make more Black Bears spawn in areas where I know where to find and bag them, to help make the apparently absurdly rare variants spawn. I've been told that females are actually more likely to be variants.
I'm bagged over a hundred at this point, and spottet another 100, if I had to guess. Not a single variant of any kind. My patience is wearing thin, and now they aren't visitng the need zone, even when I go and create hunting pressure in other areas. And I just want to know why that is and how I can make them spawn more consistently.
No variants of any kind, beyond the common ones. Someone told me females were more like to be variants though.
