Description
Dynamic and immersive hunting mod that lets you scavange for traces of animals and then track and hunt them. It uses the foraging system combined with player's skills, traits, weather, luck and mood Once you find and pick up the traces they will spawn infront of you on the ground, from where you can further investigate and track the game (You can't take the traces/tracks with you and are forced to hunt where you foraged/investigated them. They will dissappear in 3 days if not used to hunt). Works both in SP and MP and can be added/removed mid-game.



  • Four different types of animals can be tracked and hunted : Rabbit, birds, deer and wild pig.
  • Traces of animals can be found in every zone but they most likely appear in deep forest.
  • Small game traces can be found with foraging skill 2 and up
  • Big game traces can be found with foraging skill 4 and up
  • Often birds can be spotted without any skill and don't need to be tracked.
  • Most important skills for tracking is foraging and sneaking.
  • Traits like Hunter, Outdoorsman and Former Scout get better results while tracking.
  • Bad weather conditions such as heavy rain, fog, snow or wind make it harder to track game.




  • Hunting action will make an actual shooting sound and will attract zombies.
  • Hunting rifles have better chance of getting a big animal then shotguns. Shotguns are better against birds.
  • If your rifle have a scope then this helps along a lot too. Just make sure your rifle is equiped while hunting.
  • Most important skills for hunting with a gun is Aiming and Sneaking.
  • Most important skills for hunting with a spear is Spear, Fitness, Strenght and Sneaking.
  • Traits like Hunter, Outdoorsman, Desensitized, Eagle Eyed and Former Scout get better results while hunting.
  • Traits like Clumsy and Short Sighted lower the chances a bit to succesfully hunt a game.
  • Bad weather conditions such as heavy rain, fog, snow or wind make it harder to hunt game.
  • When you are sick or just feel cold then this will lower the chances a bit to succesfully hunt a game as well.
  • Hunters get mood bonus when hunting, tracking or butchering game. Hemophobic's get stress from hunting and butchering.
  • Birds and rabbits have the vanilla nutrition value(Its is raised if you also use Food Preservation Plus) and deer(base 17000 calories) and wild pig(base 10000 calories) is from this mod. Nutrition values are multiplied randomly from 0.5 to 1.5.
  • Small animals give the meat you'd get from vanilla trapping and Deer/Pig will give you chunks of meat(Renamed steak, item won't change and can be used in all the recipes a regular steak could be)
  • I did not add more bigger animals as I wanna make a fine balance between fishing , farming and trapping food supplies. Just roleplay the bears and elks were zombified as well.
  • Works good in combination with my food resource re-balancing series: Hard Forage, Hard Trapping, Hard Farming and Hard Fishing.

    Added compatibility to Firearms B41, Bow and Arrow(Can only hunt rabbits with a bow) and for some weapons from Brita.

Use Food Preservation Plus mod to have a lot more options on what to do with the meat. If this mod is enabled then you also get bones from big animals that can be made into glue. You can also make smoked meat, tallow and all kinds of other stuff in that mod.



  • Everything is ALMOST exactly the same as in the regular version but the animals ALSO spawn in urban areas more often.

This is part of... :
Project Realistic Overhaul - Set of mods I've created that will overhaul the vanilla game experience to be more hardcore and true to life, but on the other hand leaves you the option to make it through and survive. It makes items and actions have more value and makes the world more alive.

Does the hunting in this mod conflict with the hunting in Snake's Modpack?

for britas mod compatibility, are the guns that can't be used for hunting obvious stuff like flamethrowers, or is it random rifles?

Could it be that this mod doesnt work on B41 if you add it to a already created server? My mates and I installed it and we can find tracks from animals but everytime we shot the animal we only get sticks.

in a few weeks this mod will be useless, although it did great even with the limitations of the game still it was really far from perfect user experience.
i'm suggesting you guys to wait for the beta release of the b42, dont even try this mod as i said its far from perfect.
sure it does the job if you really want to hunt ur own game but i dont see any point of walking for hours lookin for traces and in the end all you do is rolling a dice to decide the fate of ur hunt and tbh it feels like its unbalanced for many char builds, i've tried to change the values in code to make it more balanced but its really labour intensive to balance those values to something realistic and fun at the same time for every single type of character build .

@everyone
When I tried it, the character needed a gun and shells in their inventory to see the hunting options. It doesn't work if the gun is loaded. You have to have some shells or cock the gun on the spot and pull them out before trying it.
