dakko Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) Just looking at the .json, wolf spawns are created at worldgen under certain conditions involving temperature, rain & forest density. They spawn in air and tallgrass. If they do stop spawning after replacing forest floor, then it must be the change in dirt (maybe it no longer grows long grass?). Although it is my understanding that dirt will eventually become forest floor when it is placed in the forest... so I dunno. Turning into forest floor may possibly be conditional to soil type too. I can't recall which soil fertility drops from breaking forest floor. eta: So it would be interesting to see if BenLi's observations hold true with BOTH low fertility and medium fertility soil as the replacement medium.

Maelstrom Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 The forest density is curious. Seems like deforesting the area around the spawn point will kill wolf spawns; which is my experience in 1.17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakko Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 Yes, that is what I thought as well. I'm really intrigued by BenLi's observations too but haven't had time to play lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to just burn off territory, and would find wolf carcasses in the burned out area, and never encountered wolves there later. Though I rarely play more than a little into spring 2, so maybe their spawn percentage had not yet come up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 I planted my permanent home near a forest and the first winter and following spring had constant canine visitors migrating to me. During the second summer I deforested the area to convert to charcoal and make resin harvesting easier. Now starting the third year (just turned May) and I haven't had a wolf visitation in a year or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
