These Damn Animals Sneaking Up On Me

I really wish there was an early warning system for animals that are about to kill you. Like for a wolf that is nearby, give it a howl so you know that you should be careful and for a boar give it some grunting noises.

These would really help out because a boar is not actually silent when its out in the wild. Also its not like they stalking us down like prey. I would be minding my own business then BOOM im stabbed in the chest by a boar. Like damn, can I not just enjoy nature?

Anyways, an early wanring system for animals that can potentially kill you would be super helpful.

Agree, it would be nice if it was always:

1 - noticed by boar-senpai
2 - pursued
3 - pounced

Rather than often:

1 - noticed by boar-kun
2 - pounced

When you happen to pass too close while they're stationary.

What animal irl just hangs out relaxing and then casually reaches over and kills something running by? That's not a thing.

Re: These Damn Animals Sneaking Up On Me

If you listen carefully you can actually hear the animals moving just off your screen - their feet make a sound when they move. However you don't know what direction they're moving, only that they're close, so it's not overly helpful.  I'd recommend moving a little slower when going through dangerous biomes. If you run at full speed in a straight line you tend to intersect paths with boars and wolves in a way that by the time you notice them you're both landing on the same tile.

Or a zoom mod mostly eliminates the danger since they can't ambush you as easily....

Re: These Damn Animals Sneaking Up On Me

Yeah it's really the worst. I usually use a mod (hetuw) that has blinking red squares on deadly animals so I can actually see boars and bugs.

I very recently played a life in vanilla because hetuw hadn't been updated. I have no idea how you people do it. It actually made me motion sick because my screen kept moving so much. Just trying to plant carrots I had to walk back and forth across town and my screen would jump from side to side. It was rough.

Anyways my first vanilla life in probably a year and I died to a boar I couldn't see. Fuck zoom out, use a mod just to survive this unfair gameplay. You don't have to zoom out, you could use it just for the quality of life things.
