Hunting Grounds introduces a more dynamic predator system to RimWorld, ensuring better ecosystem balance by spawning predators when the prey population increases. ⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🦊 Predators Respond to Prey Overpopulation 🦊

🔹 Dynamic predator spawning based on prey count. Predators appear when prey populations increase beyond a set threshold. 🔹 Configurable tracking system. Choose whether to track each prey species individually or as a combined total. 🔹 Natural wildlife selection. Predators are chosen from the biome’s existing wildlife, ensuring they fit naturally into the environment. 🔹 Season-aware spawning. Predators will only appear in seasons suitable for their survival. 🔹 On the Prowl. Predators preferentially spawn near their prey for more authentic encounters. ⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌳 Balanced Predator Selection 🌳

🔹 Size-based predator selection. Enable an option for predators to match the size of their prey. 🔹 Hungry predators for realistic hunting. Choose whether predators arrive hungry, increasing their chances of hunting immediately. 🔹 Gradual predator introduction. Predators spawn over time instead of all at once, preventing sudden ecosystem disruption. ⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀🚨 Alerts and Visual Indicators 🚨

🔹 Spawn alerts for better visibility. An in-game alert will notify you when new predators arrive. 🔹 Temporary visual markers. Hover over the alert to temporarily mark new predators with white arrows. ⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔧 Customizable Settings 🔧

🔹 Adjust prey population thresholds. Set the minimum number of prey required before predators start spawning. 🔹 Control predator numbers. Define the percentage of the prey population that influences predator spawning 🔹 Manage spawn frequency. Control how often the game checks for overpopulation. 🔹 Predator spawn limits. Limit the maximum number of predators that can spawn at once. 🔹 Toggle alerts for immersion. Option to disable spawn alerts for a more immersive experience. This mod enhances predator-prey dynamics in RimWorld, making wildlife interactions feel more natural while preventing excessive prey overpopulation. ⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔄 Compatibility 🔄

✅ Fully compatible with biome overhauls, custom animals, and storytelling mods. ✅ Works dynamically alongside vanilla spawning mechanics. ✅ Safe to add or remove from existing saves. ✅ GREAT companion for mods that introduce wild animals' reproduction. ⠀

⠀⠀ 🔥 Recommended Mods to deal with Boom Creatures 🔥

If you want predators to interact more intelligently with boom creatures (those that explode on death), I highly recommend using these mods alongside Hunting Grounds: 🔹 Predators Hunt Boom Critters – Allows predators to hunt boom creatures without fearing explosions. 🔹 BoomMod or BoomMod Expanded – Boom creatures will only explode on death when the killing blow is a gunshot, burn, another explosion, or they are otherwise on fire at the time. This makes it safer for predators to hunt them. Balance your world’s food chain and make predator-prey interactions feel more organic with Hunting Grounds!
