Please return the animals to normal.
Quote from taterman1981 on July 29, 2025, 4:14 pmPlease return the animals to normal. I know that they were eating people but that's a big part of the environment. People play here to not get raided they don't want the PVP life or log on to nothing. The animals are a hazard that comes with the environment. Having the animals not doing there normal thing is equal to having the scientist not shooting , the water not drowning you , the cold not freezing you , no fire damage, heli shooting blanks , just stand in front of bradley it cant kill you anymore, no radiation? Might as well remove all the boss fights they will kill you too. If everything gets nerfed the server will no longer be a PVP server it will just be a P server with no environment. How dull would that be?

Quote from Kevin on August 17, 2025, 4:42 pmHey there folks, thank you for the feedback. The animals movement has been disabled for performance. It's either we greatly reduce the amount of them or disable their movement, we opted to have their movement disabled. With main reaching 500,000 to 600,000 entities (some of the highest server entity counts in Rust) we have to cut somewhere. I will see if we can strike a balance between their spawn amounts with movement.
