Nice it should be really good looking irl

lime coral
#

i still need to explore more of it but from what little ive seen so far it is well rendered

fair jetty
lime coral
#

mmmmmm i wouldnt say that but eh i wasnt expect a perfect representation

lime coral
#

i am slightly disappointed that the forested areas arent thicker with trees and dont have as much dead leaves on the ground

#

but i get that would be a bit much to render

fair jetty
midnight moon
lime coral
#

even worse here

fair jetty
#

Really

lime coral
#

but i do understand that thick foliage isnt to everyone's taste when tryin to hunt

fair jetty
#

I look for pumpkin fields it is the only open space

lime coral
# fair jetty Really

some of NH's forests are a massive pain to traverse due to downed trees bushes and saplings...imagine if that got added into the NE map and you are tryin to hunt that way

fair jetty
#

I say revontuli was the perfect balance

lime coral
#

im totally not biased towards thick forests with lots of ground vegetation 🤣

#

i mean...i grew up above a state protected wetland sanctuary with pine/maple trees nearly completely surrounding my house i grew up in

#

so im use to LOTS of forest vegetation

quaint summit
#

do you guys discourage wearing medium backpacks or is it worth the noise for extra carry weight? ive played this game plenty but im just getting back into it and i know a lot has changed since i last played

fair jetty
#

I carry 5 weapon without a bag

lime coral
#

i use the large bp for the extra space.....i honestly dont have issues with it creating too much noise

fair jetty
#

Do you see the animals in the map there?

quaint summit
#

what loadout are you guys using? preferably one that allows a bow

ionic flicker
#

I don’t like the noise it creates. Spooks animals for extreme distances

fair jetty
#

So I carry 5 without backpack

lime coral
#

@fair jetty to give you a idea this is my childhood home i grew up in....as you can see in the background.......thick AF pineforest lol

fair jetty
#

I wished the pines were others in the game because they come from others map

lime coral
#

yea same

fair jetty
#

So I feel like I am in Layton or Hirsch sometimes

#

The best they include rivers

#

East coast look like central Europe? I am seeing pics in internet

#

It looks very similar irl

lime coral
#

east coast as in east coast US?

fair jetty
lime coral
#

not sure tbh

#

could also depend on which part of the east coast you are referrin to lol

fair jetty
#

I know very few

#

🤣

my dog’s head is spinning like the bloody exorcist

and it’s freaking me out a bit lol

Seems the ghost that possessed Jaxy’s dog has made its way into the Granite update

quaint lintel
#

Told y'all any bugs shown in early access end up in the main update lol

cloud plaza
#

Yo are there any 9s on NE?

tawdry nebula
#

Black bear

#

And bobcat

#

And coyote

#

And red fox

#

Did gunshot spook distance get lowered?

uneven bloom
lucid flame
#

That's what a meant lol, that sucks though, granted realistic, makes my life so much harder

#

But that's okay, it's for the greater good I think

midnight moon
#

Stalking is harder now lol. Fast crouching is red

lucid flame
#

Yeah, I caught that. I also feel like it's harder to go invisible, I could be wrong though

#

Or maybe Hirschfeldens foliage doesn't work

midnight moon
#

Definitely a challenge. I’ve bagged a few gold moose and white tail so far at least

lucid flame
#

Got a troll wt, piebald female wt, troll 5 medium rocky mountain elk

unkempt condor
#

60 fps is kinda poggers ngl

lucid flame
#

Is that for PC? On ps4 I see no difference in the pixels

unkempt condor
#

And xbox series x/s

lucid flame
#

Oh, how blessed you new gen guys are! Only game to make me feel good to have a last gen console lol

#

They also added trees to certain spots, making a LOT of beavers make my tents disappear

#

Only when I fast travel to them, so atleast I can just replace them lol

quaint summit
#

is anyone else hearing stag roaring in the new map? theres no audio cues for it either. i thought red deer werent on this map?

still shuttle
#

@quaint summit It's Moose They updated the way they sound

lucid flame
#

Caught me off guard to lol

still shuttle
#

Lol

obsidian crow
#

So overall how’s the update for y’all 🥲-mid 😃-good

frank perch
#

If you were in fabled chat earlier you have my stance

midnight moon
quaint summit
lucid flame
#

What did they do to red deer? It's half my zones are gone and deer are clustered in spots they weren't before, but I still have the same dimes as before, just in different spots

uneven bloom
lucid flame
#

Ah

#

Hell yeah! Mallards ftw😅

obsidian crow
ionic flicker
lucid flame
#

I worked pretty hard to get my zones to where they are, making zones with all 4s and others with good respawns.. but ah well

#

The grind continues

uneven bloom
#

I highly doubt it was intentional

lucid flame
#

I know it wasn't, im not mad about it or anything like that, maybe a little disappointed, but I really like the new map so it's all good👍

ionic flicker
#

I have to completely redo my setup pretty much, which I spent the last week working on perfecting. Which is pretty infuriating.

#

Also now having a massive herd at a single small lake is just awful.

lucid flame
#

This is all true ans very relatable

ionic flicker
#

And 2 red deer across the whole river on te.

midnight moon
#

Any one know why my game performance ranked after this update?

ionic flicker
lucid flame
#

Yeah

#

Everything is moved around

ionic flicker
#

And all deer are stacked in one location for the most part. The corner of a small lake, so you shoot one and they all spook into the trees.

#

I wouldn’t have an issue with it if they actually spread them out evenly.

lucid flame
#

I have ONE zone where I used to have like 4 on one of the northern lakes, the other 3 moved to two zones on the lake below it

#

One of the 2 by the cave along the river says it exists but no deer are there

ionic flicker
still shuttle
#

@quaint summit It's gotta be a moose cause I heard it on Yukon today and it cued to a moose

lucid flame
#

My most productive lake, that got me a super rare and countless 9 legendaries, consistently spawning in 8's, now has 2 level 4's and like 8 hines

ionic flicker
#

Blue is old hotspot, pink is where they ALL are now

ionic flicker
lucid flame
#

Pink was my most productive lake, lol

#

I'm so glad I took the super rare before the update lol

ionic flicker
#

I had 1 level 3 male there for ever

lucid flame
#

I would've never found it in this mess

ionic flicker
#

Now it’s a massive herd 😂

lucid flame
#

😂

ionic flicker
#

So frustrating… I would’ve taken my diamonds before 😩

sick saffron
#

is a bronze fur type turkey common

uneven bloom
#

Yes

lucid flame
ionic flicker
#

Hope it’s a diamond for ya then 😂

#

I managed to find one of my diamonds at least

quaint summit
lucid flame
#

Thanks, I'm just stacking them, I found most of my 9's, but I'll have to revisit all the lakes I stopped grinding

lucid flame
ionic flicker
#

Good news is I was still checking all red deer lakes so I have tents set up for all of them.

lucid flame
#

That's nice lmao

ionic flicker
#

So at least I don’t have to walk everywhere

lucid flame
#

I have to visit 3 lakes, one being quite the walk

#

But not to horrible

ionic flicker
#

Which one is it?

low citrus
lucid flame
#

Yeah...

lucid flame
still shuttle
#

@quaint summit I'm not sure then

ionic flicker
lucid flame
#

Oh lmao gotcha

#

Yay I found 2 more of my 9's at a single lake I don't grind, perfect for the stacking process lol

fading gorge
#

IM trying to get motivated to redo all my red deer zones again too on TA not happy at all

#

That purple one on that map is my mystery lake it has had a zone since before update and I never found a single deer there at any time of the day even after setting tents outside spook zone and coming in lol. Tried a few sleeps since update and still no deer there haha

low citrus
#

Red deer seem to have moved around quite a bit

#

My best zones just up and disappeared and I’ve got entire herds at lakes that would never get even singular stags

fading gorge
#

Yep was the 1st thing I checked when updated and swore and cursed lol. I still havent played the new map yet

ionic flicker
plush plaza
#

Oh damn yeah that isn’t normal

lucid flame
#

These antlers moving without the red deer is making me motion sick lmao

fading gorge
#

Dont forget having to move tripods so dont spook your zones now lol

lucid flame
#

Wait what??

fading gorge
ionic flicker
fading gorge
#

No one responded lol

ionic flicker
#

Some people just aren’t perceptive enough to notice

lucid flame
fading gorge
#

I was walking up on a myth red deer and thought wtf is up with him

lucid flame
#

Yeah, it's kinda trippy looking at the antlers move independently from what they are attached to

fading gorge
#

gonna buy a bunch more tripods and just go walking back placing and shooting till I dont spook 2 or 3 zones at once lol. Today is gonna suck

lucid flame
#

Lmao have fun with that, I'm just gonna grind them as is.

#

I got lucky enough for one stag to stay at its original zone prior to update

fading gorge
#

I had nice spots on a few lakes where I had managed the herd down to deer I didnt care about so plonked a tent and tripod there as had great view to shoot points of lakes. Now gotta rework that spot so no deer there lol.

lucid flame
#

Do they add trees and shrubs to maps with every update? Because all but 2 or 3 tents on my map were taken down by said beaver because of new trees

fading gorge
#

Beavers ate 2 of my tents too lol

glacial summit
#

@sudden ginkgo

#

can confirm its 3:00-6:00

#

this zone anyways

#

also that didn't take long lmao

If I could get the simple blessing of a red deer GO soon that would be great, I want to start the moose grind lol

Okay, I am failing at this. Where do I access the gun painting thingy?

Sure thing

#

I recommend painting the barrel orange so you disobey every law

It's a toy... or is it

wild knot
#

How does green wing hunting work in Mississippi

#

It says I need green wing decoys but there is none theres only Eurasian teal but the game says there not the same so when u go to place them in Mississippi it won’t let u

low citrus
#

Same as any other waterfowl I imagine

#

Oh, interesting

#

Not sure how to fix that

wild knot
#

I would think u would just use eusian teal decoys bc there almost the same thing as green wing but u can’t place them in Mississippi

I hate the grey fox on NE. I tracked a legendary for 2.23km and finally got it and was .04 off diamond.

low citrus
#

So, you hate a species… because you got trolled?

#

Sounds like a skill issue to me

fading gorge
#

It led me on a wild goose chase for ages lol

#

Wow those moose call sound different 😂

sudden ginkgo
low citrus
#

💀💀💀

tough drift
#

like I don't think anyone's legitimately gotten it off a moose grind yet

#

ofc not lol it's been out like 24 hours

low citrus
#

You’d be surprised by what grinders are capable of in 24 hours

tough drift
#

this is true

low citrus
#

It’s a genuine surprise we haven’t seen one posted yet

tough drift
#

there are some true no-lifers in this community

#

or people who work remotely and find some way to multitask cotw grinding and working

#

tbh that's the goal of working remotely

#

playing video games 💀

#

or being a content creator and making streaming cotw grinding literally your full time job

#

community isn't realistically big enough for anyone to pull in the donations/views to make cotw a stable full time job but what do I know peeposhrug

spring minnow
#

There are several full time creators in the community

tough drift
#

hm. Ig I stand corrected

#

at any rate there are a lot of no-life grinders in this community

#

really in any RPG community

#

cotw isn't special in that regard

#

but it never ceases to amaze me how quickly some people can go from first starting up their map prep for a grind to getting the trophy they want

spring minnow
#

Thousands of hours playtime does that 😄

#

And drink times makes it easy once you figure out when the animal you've after is by the water

tough drift
#

like they find all their zones, set up all their tents and tripods, and in like a dozen irl hours worth of grinding or so they have their diamond or rare they've been looking for

spring minnow
#

It's not really hard, just time consuming

tough drift
#

true

#

if you have virtually infinite money from either playing the game way too much or previous grinds, you can easily finance all the structures

spring minnow
#

Run around with a tent so you can put it down, make a setup when needed and pick it back up. That way you don't have to run back and forth.

tough drift
#

and from there it's just some pretty basic knowhow of finding all your zones and strategically placing structures

#

and then you just cycle through the map

#

and time reset cycle for respawns

#

repeat

spring minnow
#

Which personally I will never do. I love hunting games for hunting. I'd be playing mmo's if I wanted to grind 😄

tough drift
#

do several cycles if not dozens an hour and in a few hours bam

gritty jay
tough drift
#

it's basically an RPG now come on

low citrus
#

COTW is a simulator, not an RPG

tough drift
#

you unlock weapons, build skill trees, earn cash and buy things from a shop

gritty jay
#

even tho it's more of a arcade shooter🤔

gritty jay
spring minnow
#

Classic is a simulator, cotw can be argued. I'd put it in casual since it's not difficult at all after you've played it a bit.

tough drift
#

eh I suppose you can just call it that

#

but nevertheless it has a ton of grinding

gritty jay
#

like any other hunting game

low citrus
#

Grinding is present in nearly every game genre

gritty jay
#

^^

spring minnow
#

Anyway I think this discussion has nothing to do with the new map so wrong chat 😄

tough drift
#

true

#

how are y'all liking NE?

low citrus
#

Loving it so far

gritty jay
#

haven't tried it

low citrus
#

I’ve unlocked a decent bit of outposts and have checked a few lakes for moose

#

This game simply refuses to give me an initial spawn trophy

gritty jay
#

too busy with other stuff irl along with elden ring and fo4

tough drift
#

I haven't gotten a chance to play it cause I've made a commitment to stay off video games until my exams are done

#

but it looks awesome

#

and so do the other changes

gritty jay
spring minnow
#

Bought it, went to hunt pheasants to Hirsch first since that was more important 😄 I'll get to the map this evening.

tough drift
#

can't wait to hop on like Friday afternoon-ish

watch you'll get a diamond wt

Hoping it all pays off with a decent albino or mela tho

Perhaps a great one if the stars align correctly

Mods have those turned off I thought

just go around looking for animals at odd hours

and you'll find a surprise trophy emerging from the brush

anyone found any direct moose hotspots yet?

#

Pretty much all along the rivers on NE

I heard they were all along the rivers but i struggle to find the amount i was expecting

#

Know it's the wrong chat but is this a new feature, was going to transfer tents to new england xD

sonic cliff
frail tusk
crisp otter
#

is it 100 or 200m that animals are invisible for you when spawning in tents?

hollow willow
#

So is this map worth buying?

frail tusk
#

Depends

#

Personally I really like it but I live in NE so I'm biased

#

The map is pretty much just American Hirschfelden if you're into that

#

Except maybe a little less dense

#

There's a lot of diversity with the species, even if none of them are new besides the teal

#

For grinding it's probably not the best but for roaming around and hunting feed zones or sitting in a treestand it's fantastic

prime hare
#

side quests for NEM are quite bugged, yes?

same thing with the muzzleloader one, i've tried both muzzlies and it just doesn't register

Ok , havent read all the messages in this channel, so I may not be the first one BUT anyone else having a bug that rotates the sound input by approx. 90 degrees from either side the animal sound comes from.

Idk if i didnt play way of the hunter i wouldnt care for the spooking range but breh its quite annoying

It's a f*cking videogame nobody trying to lose their mind cuz the scare distance is from California to alaska

What does way of the hunter have to do with this game

that game does is better/makes sense

What is the Moose drinking time on medved?

its like they updated the game but ruined all the keybind stuff

Good for multiplayer “kinda” aside from now everything spooks a lot farther so you cant really do those fun runs anymore

little aurora
#

I mean.. what exactly are you looking for? Sounds like this isn't the game for you.

dusk creek
#

it was fine until yesterday lol

#

and how the game operates currently just making the process slower

People are too used to the arcady factor of this game when they are pushing out stuff like this too many people complain

#

This update didnt RUIN the game persay, just made playing feel even more sluggish In that sense

#

Sluggish for a hunting game lol

analog trench
#

to me it feels like they've brought in this new spook range so they can then bring in suppressors/silencers

dusk creek
#

Maybe

low citrus
#

Hunting ain’t exactly warfare levels of chaotic in real life. I’m glad that they’re forcing us to slow down a bit

dusk creek
#

Bows shouldve had a lower spook range tbh

low citrus
#

Bows do have a reduced spook range

#

Iirc they were untouched with this update

#

Along with the .22lr and air rifle

dusk creek
#

It was already slow xd

#

why slow down the slow game xd

low citrus
uneven bloom
#

Because there were a number of people who asked for a more "realistic" response from animals to gunshots in #882552632793767966

Ive already started carrying a bow w me always bc of how much better they are if you’re trying to take down a few animals at one lake or something

I’ve been wanting a big bore air rifle that can take down up to class 6-8 animals for the longest time

Is that a guy who works for ew??

Anybody know?

#

Animals are spooking further away by footstep noises too?

#

or is it just from gun fire that they spook further

sick saffron
mighty dove
#

Just gunshots afaik

sick saffron
#

ah okay!

tacit current
#

i have been reading messages above, did they change animal spook behaviours?

#

i didnt see that in any update info but they dont always include everything

low citrus
#

Animals spook from 300m and run out of render distance now iirc

tacit current
#

hmmm

#

i dont mind it

#

i think animal reaction to gunshots could be improved tho

latent rampart
#

Deleting game grinding is impossible now

tacit current
#

to anyone who is deleting the game or is very upset about these changes, just know. this is a hunting game. so you cant seriously be mad at the developers for making the game more true to real life hunting.

sick saffron
#

wait nvm I see what you’re saying now

latent rampart
sick saffron
#

eh idk if the realism thing is really a great argument. This game is pretty arcade-like overall.

#

I get that they want to put in elements of realism to make the game more authentic and I like that. But I also think there should be a balance of what is realistic and what is fun to play

woeful harbor
#

old spook distance was immersion breaking imho

latent rampart
#

If i wanted realism i would pplay woth

mighty dove
#

They increase the distance by another 100m and people bring out the arcade card

sick saffron
tacit current
#

yeah i think that this game has always sort of struggled with making up its mind about whether it wants to be a realistic hunting game or an arcade. its always been in between and it sometimes gets irritating because its hard to make it out.

woeful harbor
#

not necessarily about realism, I would like to feel comfortably immersed in the role I am playing

ember thunder
#

300m spook range with 400m render distance is just annoying as hell

sick saffron
#

I dont think it has gone too far in this game in particular, kinda just pointing out how I feel about realism in games period

mighty dove
#

It’s not completely either or, it’s a mixture of both

ember thunder
#

Would be fine with higher spook ranges if I could actually see the animals from a distance

latent rampart
#

Its been a arcade since 2017

tacit current
#

so previous spook range was what?

latent rampart
#

Like 150m 200

sick saffron
#

Honestly, the gunfire spook distance has caused me to start using bows and I love it

ember thunder
#

The best approach IMO would be to add difficulty settings, so that people who want more realistic elements can choose to up the spook range, but arcade type shooters can keep grinding GO's. Literally a no-brainer in terms of business strategy cause you cater to both audiences.

sacred atlas
#

they actualy realsed paid cosmetics?

Did medved get a pop reset?

uneven bloom
#

Moose did

sick saffron

#

Weird

plain yoke
#

I think they deliberately dont want difficulty levels. They want to keep the community more or less equal from the standpoint of hunter skill. If you add difficulty levels then diamonds and GO's kind of become devalued .... Its also hard to keep things balanced with different levels of difficulty

#

The down side of not having difficulty levels is that sometimes you have to make adjustments to balance the game or to make room for things that may be coming in the future. We really don't know their purpose behind making this change. One thing I do know for certain they didnt do it tick a lot of people off so I say give them the benefit of knowing what they are doing ...

woeful harbor
#

implement hunting seasons, tag all previously earned stuff as legacy, stamp with a date when it was earned

#

then iterating on the system isn't so painful

#

Are piebald greenwing rare or uncommon like mallards?

By all means give them feedback on what you think about the change and why .... They may decide to make another adjustment ....

@glacial flame @jade thicket This is what your maps should look like 😤

tacit current
#

im not sure what the state of the game situation will be in the future, and it is even confusing right now. i know its hard to please everyone and its hard to find a way to think of this game as a certain one thing. i just know its a fun game and i think the update is really good even though its more controversial than previous ones, they still worked hard on it and overall im happy with it

unique roost
#

Did they add any new multumounts with this dlc?

tacit current
#

yes

#

moose and bobwhite quail

#

moosic to my ears

unique roost
#

Ok thanks

tacit current
#

its pretty cool

unique roost
#

Really was hoping for like a wood greenwing mount

plain yoke
#

Now that they have the weapon customization thing under their belt .... I would like to see them adding customization to other things like mounts and multi mounts

unique roost
#

I feel like a lot of multimounts could have animals with interchangeable sexes. For example the euro bison and goose one, or the lion and Cape buffalo one. I’d like mounts specifically for ducks where it’s like a terrain mount with any species interchangeable

plain yoke
#

Honestly customizing mounts and trophy lodges could be a game all it's own ....

#

just give us the tools and stand back ....

sudden ginkgo
#

tho that said, i do like the idea

frail tusk
#

i personally think that the increased spook distance/animals reacting faster is probably one of the best changes in the update and i will take that to my grave

tawdry wing
#

haven't played the new update just yet... what happened to the trophy screen? 💀

low citrus
#

It got better

tawdry wing
#

It probably got technically better but the previous one looked better imo

#

with the flat green background it looks like something I would expect from some pre-alpha footage of some small indie game

#

on the other hand I like that they're finally implementing preview

tawdry wing
low citrus
#

Thats about the only downside

orchid field
#

the other downside is the awful x-ray mode I'd argue it was better before

tawdry wing
#

Ironically, because the new background is lighter than previous one, the animals don't pop out as much, which I thought was the original point of making the background darker, which they effectively reversed.

tawdry wing
orchid field
#

it just looks way lighter I guess so it's hard to see where you hit

#

before it looked a bit more contrasted and sharp

#

I just think they could have improved it a lot with small changes like the arrow, just give it a bit of color depending on the penetration and make it easy to see where you hit and from where you hit

I enjoy rancho a lot more for bighorn

@tired vapor coyotes at hawthorne lake aswell

either way I believe that one was a net gain

What’s up with the g1 moose’s fur both yt vids have found them as commons

Moose GOs have common variants, with the ones that Jaxy showed off being “rares”

95% common i think

lilac needle
#

Bruh your kidding

#

“Rares” on a g1 🤦‍♂️

long spade
#

So NEM is good outside the missions?

crisp otter
#

aesthetically yes, hunting opportunitywise yes, overall nice addition except the bugs

low citrus
long spade
#

See I love small predators so I'm really wanting NEM but the bugs worry me

low citrus
#

The bugs are present across all maps

#

Not necessarily NE

uneven bloom
#

I honestly really want to start a fox grind but if I so much as hear a moose I'm probably going to throw my laptop out a window

#

and...yeah, any bugs present are across all maps.

low citrus
#

Chill mane it’s really not that deep

uneven bloom
#

for me it kind of is. I was really looking forward to grinding for the fur types. Then I found out they're rare, on an animal that can already take a year to grind for.

long spade
#

So far the only bug I've had was losing my zones on parque, and if i'm honest that doesn't bother me

#

I'm worried if im on the map it'll start crashing

low citrus
#

Can’t hurt right?

uneven bloom
#

that is true.

#

I did get an albino (if female) off Medved

low citrus
#

And if you do end up finding a great one, wouldn’t hurt to shoot it and throw it in the lodge of shame if you think it deserves so

#

At the very least you can say you got and didn’t have to grind for it

Near extinction

They had a party and had a bunch of babies

long spade
low citrus
#

Oh no I’m aware

#

I’m just saying that playing through the missions there’ll be a bit of inconsistency

long spade
#

Iirc, doesn't she just say that when the wolves moved out the lynx moved in?

low citrus
#

Yes

#

Key word is that wolves moved out

uneven bloom
#

and now they moved back in

low citrus
#

Doesn’t make sense since we have a high population of wolves on Medved now

mighty dove
#

They can easily redo the script for the missions probably

uneven bloom
#

especially since we now know they're willing to bring back VA's for past wardens

long spade
#

There's a large population of caribou too, wolves follow prey, they're hunting caribou like the rest of us

I mean, caribou taste reeeaaallly good man

uneven bloom
languid wedge
midnight moon
languid wedge
#

Walking it's 130-150 running is 180-200 that's without backpacks

#

It also depends on the animal and what level it is

#

Like you can almost run up to like 30 m on a female roe deer but a Max level black bear will hear you from 200 220 yards away running

#

It also depends on perks

lilac needle
languid wedge
#

That's shooting

lilac needle
#

Yes

languid wedge
#

Yes general rule of thumb you can run to around 180 m and most animals won't hear you you can walk to 130 most animals won't hear you

#

Very high level animals though have very high level senses like a diamond black bear will hear you running from around 200 m away

Did anyone else lose need zones?

languid wedge
#

It seems like populations were mixed around a little bit not reset for a number of species on maps that got added species

languid wedge
long spade
#

Oh i lost all the zones i had marked in Parque

languid wedge
#

So to answer question yes people lost need zones but didn't lose the population that was in those zones

#

That's probably because of javelina getting added and they had to move stuff around

#

The same thing happened with at least Red deer in New Zealand because of mallards

long spade

I knew they were adding animals but I didn't my marked zones would be affected
