Feedback Request: Creatures

[GuideRaguel]

Greetings Survivors!

We are currently looking for feedback regarding the recent changes made to Creature AI

The information we require is...

- Have you seen or are you aware of any creatures getting stuck? If so please explain.

- How do you think the creatures fare in combat? Do you think they are too weak or too strong? Or are they just right?

- Do you know of any other issues with creature AI?

They get stuck none stop.reason people dont see them is because there on the side of a cliff or edge of water stuck.They also get stuck on raised ground from terraforming.This is like this everywhere in the game just might be hard to notice them sometimes because sometimes it looks like 1 of them but theres really 5-6.

As far as combat there still pretty easy to me even the big ones.

Is this still the case with recent update?

Well I can have problems with bears, but in general they are still easy.
Smaller animals doesn't really do any kind of damage. It just takes a bit of time to kill them really.

The AI seems to be rather simple when walking or running to attack you. It seems to be going by the most direct route, not regarding whether it is possible or not. It doesn't seems as it calculates the route or if it has to take a detour.

I haven't seen a single animal since the server going down and rollback.

What I have noticed is they get stuck on terraformed land, mostly because the slope is too high (they don't jump down). On cliff edges because they walked down too steep a slope.

They get stuck on any size of slope,cliff or raised ground its not that its to high.As of todays patch ive only seen a couple of dogs roaming nothing stuck but with the patch before that it took them a couple of days to REALLY get stuck.

And a side note even when you kill them all they like to come back or spawn on the some spots sometimes.

These are my ideas regarding animal AI

Short run around my home mountain: found one black bear and about 10 to 20 ragdoll cats, all of them stuck, the bear on a steep cliff on granite, the cats all stuck on the exact same piece of terraformed land.



Edited: Found another black bear that was not stuck - or rather the bear found me.
Edited again: Made a wider run through the West and found another bear and 2 coyotes, none of them stuck (yet?).
