Getting really fustrated by not being able to find animals to hunt. - Rust

I have just started playing Rust again after being away for like a year. I have been on several servers these last couple of days. And 9 times out of 10 I can never seem to be able to find animals to hunt and starve to death. The only time I do is it's a horse running away after walking for 30 to 40 minutes. Or it's just tripping over one in the thick grass. Or getting malled in tall grass by a hidden bear. The grass looks cool and all but it's beyond getting frustrating. I loose things all the time. Why does the grass have to be everywhere? Why is it always so tall? I know I can't be the only one having this problem.

If I'm not mistaken, animal breeding will come with the next update so it might get a little easier for you. Just remember to breed responsibly, we don't want an army of deformed bears running around (or do we :ohno:).

Definitely an issue for the more populated servers. it was hard enough to find animal fat to build a furnace a few times after wipe. But now with the hunger its even worse. it felt like the animals were only spawning in certain locations(and not just because of the type of biome)

If so, ask them to use the entity.create command to spawn animals all over the map. I do this daily on my server. You do not have to have a modded server in order to use the command, it is a vanilla console function. I also pass out candy canes every few hours to the players to combat the hunger. It is definitely becoming a pain in the ass on my server to compensate for the lack of food available for the players.

You will have enough low-grade for a furnace in minutes.

I think resource and animals spawns need to be looked at, there should be animals in all biomes available for hunting, if they introduce fishing into the game that should fix the hunger because water is everywhere. but like the guy above me said, refine crude oil if you need LGF

I legitimately died 3 times in a row last time I played because the 48 player server had no animals in sight its insane

i find animals all the time mostly ppl coming outside their bases and get slugged in the face for human meat. i find animals where bro and humans too

Ihad two freinds die in thier sleep of hunger ...whats that all about this is getting stupid

I am glad people have raised this issue. Prior to last update animal spawns were a bit OTT and you could hoard LGF in bulk but since, they have reversed back to the pathetic spawn levels. It needs to be upped a notch but not as high as the last boost. Also needed imo: Decay: on high walls need to be reduced because the repair costs per day are almost close the build cost of each unit. Durability: Clearly nerfed hard on metal Hatchet and Pick. They are breaking far too quickly now so the stone versions are actually better.

[QUOTE=Sneak2;50196164]Ihad two freinds die in thier sleep of hunger[/QUOTE] admittedly, that would be an issue. sleepers should have much slower metabolic consumption than awake players, but they should die eventually if they don't eat/drink.

[QUOTE=mrknifey;50196732]admittedly, that would be an issue. sleepers should have much slower metabolic consumption than awake players, but they should die eventually if they don't eat/drink.[/QUOTE] not after 30 minutes though like they did

I dont see an issue so far, New to the game but found that it's easy to find a dead newman and eat him, or gather some hemp, make a bag, and kill yourself by it and eat yourself...

If I'm on for the night and playing Rust, I literally need to eat about 6 bears worth of meat to keep me from starving. Yet, I can neer find that many animals. I literally just run up the roads hitting the oil barrels hoping food drops to boost my metabolism. It's a bit broken, I hope they fix it.

would be cool if we have more animals like: fish and shark in sea dangerous tigers who attack other animals too birds

I would like to see more wildlife too. I hear birds tweeting but yet to see any flying about. Turtles on the beach and maybe sharks in the sea. rabbits, snakes in the grass. There are lots of animals that could be added but i guess we will just have to wait and see.

There is chocolate bars, tuna and beans in the garbage piles.
