Add animal spawns near Petrovka

Recommended Posts

If this map is accurate:

Why are there no animal spawns in near petrovka? That town has the most wide open farmland looking areas of the game. It looks like the wildife spawn system is so ghetto that it can only be used with circular areas and developers were not able to fit in a trigger without touching the map border.

I've never seen that map before, don't know about its accuracy but I'll say the place I've found to have the most animals is the field East of Vyshnoye and that map doesn't have anything at all over that spot. Makes it a bit questionable.

Animals don't necessarily stay where they spawn. They will usually wander pretty far.

I think that the plan eventually is to have the animals acting like animals, going towards water at certain times of the day and such. They will also wander a bit more. I think it's a great idea to expand animals spawns into extended parts of the map as well but I also imagine that the current spawns will be better utilized with the new AI.
