I don't particularly like most things about this game, but I do like hunting. However finding animals is pretty rare, so it's not convenient to play just for hunting. Is there any way to change that? Are there maybe some mods for that?

There are more animals farther away from humans. You'll not find as many in Driik. Also, if you wander back and forth about an area, or in circles, you're more likely to find animals than if you just go in a straight line.

I know that. I lived on the edge of Reemi, and would look for animals in no man's land, but there still weren't too many of them...

Maybe it's possible to modify spawn rates or something, so there is X times more of all animals, or certain types of them?

Or how about leaving food on the ground? Maybe it would attract animals, and give me a better chance of stumbling onto an animal or their tracks if I checked those locations regularly?

If you want, you can use cheat engine and freeze the value that indicates when you've climbed to the top of a tree, when used on the overworld map it'll show you where animals are at a far greater distance and frequency. I'll post a screenshot in a bit.

left image shows your vision normally. right image shows it with the 'is in tree' value set. i moved around a little to see if i could find anything quickly.


depending on where you are on the map, season, time of day, and stats, you'll see more or less animals

urw.exe+5F97DAA is the address, freeze to 1.

What cheat engine?

and freeze the value that indicates when you've climbed to the top of a tree, when used on the overworld map it'll show you where animals are at a far greater distance and frequency
Hmmm, I am not sure though, if that wouldn't be too easy? With so much vision you could probably lose an animal, and then just immediately find it on the world map.

Season? Time of day? So probably more animals in spring-autumn, less in winter, and best time would be small hours?

heres a video/tutorial on cheat engine, and some basic concepts:

Of course, you will have to use it at your own discernment. If you feel it's too easy, you can always disable it after you've made the first initial encounter.

As for the animal spawns, I don't know the exact specifics, but i do know these things impact what you see. I mentioned time of day because during night hours your vision lessens :).
