Fix Non Dangerous Animals

[EaglesBR]

This has become a major hindrance as of late, all of the non dangerous animals currently are overpowered in how much health they have and are completely fucked in how much meat they provide. There have been numerous occasions within the past 2 weeks or so where we have killed every single non dangerous animal and more often then not they provide next to no meat (Usually 2-3 steaks is what we see per animal besides chickens). I can think of two separate instances in the last week where animals we have harvested have given ZERO meat (Chicken and Goat), and there's been times that Cows we have killed have provided 1 or 2 steaks. Given that I help run the Soup Kitchen in Livonia it is a pain in the ass to have to go half way across the map just to get enough meat to feed the people that come through our camp.

To touch on the amount of health some of these animals have, I've seen Cows survive a .357 shot to the head, three 7.92x57 rounds in their chests. Elk survive MULTIPLE rounds from a mosin, Boars survive two plus 5.56 rounds. These animals shouldn't be able to survive multiple rounds from large caliber weapons. While the domesticated animals don't run far it still bothers me that most of them aren't one and done from the larger rounds.

This request is basically just the opposite of the buffs that were given to Bears and Wolves.

 TL;DR: Lower the amount of health non dangerous animals have and put a minimum limit on the amount of steaks they will drop depending on the animal.

Yes please. Super immersion breaking to shoot a deer in the face with an svd, only to have them run off.

I've had a chicken tank two 9-mm bullets and live, shouldn't be like that. Passive animal should be there to provide a good source of food, having them drop 2 steaks and tank a bullet to the head makes no sense.

+1

[Nyx]

100% Agree. The other day I killed two deer and it resulted in me only getting 2 pieces of meat, not even fat. Shouldn't be like that at all. On top of that, the deer ate my bullets.

[Eagle]

Depends on what gun you use killing them.

[Player 1]

Yes please fix them! I should need to pump 5 .308 or 7.62x54 into a deer to kill it if I shoot it in the head or heart.

100% No reason a chicken should take multiple rounds lol

 

[Peril]

I can get behind this 100%, especially now that the dangerous animals are even more so.  Shouldn't be a genuine struggle to bag a deer or boar because it survived a large caliber bullet.

+1 to this, ive noticed they can be hard to kill and really doesn't help with the rarity of food down south on Livonia.

Ill bring it up with the devs

[Watchman]

Only thing i can say is @Roland

[DerrickStorm]

Yeah, a deer tanking a .308 round with it's head can be annoying sometimes. Also I wasn't aware there were changes in meat ammount gained from corpses. It would be great to see it balanced.

[CrescentGent]

Yes please

[Marik]

I can get behind this change, please make it happen!

 

[Saunders]

I'm also a fan of making changes to this, right now you don't get much meat and the animals themselves are tanks

Voodoo kindly forwarded this to the devs, please be patient whilst we work on things behind the scenes.

[Aron73]

I have to agree! I hate the fact that I have to have a high caliber semi-auto rifle or a full auto one to hunt even a deer. I miss hunting with my good old Winchester.

Hell even a chicken takes two hits with a knife

This change was made by @Roland so I aint gonna touch it.

Maybe you can discuss it with him  

[Kerkkoh]

@Roland I know how much you love your AI health buffs but this ain't it.

Please change it back. My immersion is suffering.

[Roland]

I never changed any other animals

Weeeeeeell could you then pretty please check what is wrong

 

[Para]

I walked up to a pig and blasted it's entire side with buckshot, it oinked and legged it lmao. Unfortunately I only had 1 shell, so I was sad  

If we could lower the HP of animals a little bit / increase their payout i'd be happy, especially with the scarcity of food

If animals were this strong IRL we would be fucked 

[Eddie]

Yeah this is something that definitely needs addressed. I'm all for this as well. Please fix.  

[Conor]

Please fix. Chickens are supposed to die when I shoot them once in the head with a pistol.

Instead this happens:
