Even at night, the forest biome is like a walk in the park. It was really good with bears. Irl I live in forest in the mountains and we have plenty brown bears.

They could just make it were they spawn at night! That's it lol

I thought more dangerous animals spawning at night was a thing already...including in forest biome.

but at night you can just walk past them as they don't seem to see, hear, or smell anything when it's dark

Well make them spawn in the day sometimes and much more in the dark 

 

Maybe some animals won't activatly hunt you down until you say have lower hp like what vultures do.

Vultures hunt me down even when my HP is at full.

Is there anyway to disable the 'Spawn Near Backpack' feature? Or a mod that mods it out?

You mean on a server?

Because in single player you can just choose to not select it I guess, right?

Wild vulture In the desert?? 

 

I guess that would explain why they mauled me. But I also had to fight a rattlesnake

But to be fair you would have to have both hands tied behind your back to fight the rattlesnake

 

[beerfly]

I`d use the rattlesnake to whip the hell out of the vultures. Poor thing will never want to be near me again.

I don't appreciate violence against birds

That's a difficult viewpoint to sympathise with when I look at your avatar... nothing personal, it's just that is one evil owl.

The forest biome is the safest there is... they can't add bears or wolves back in!

Maybe a zombie kitten? 

 

ah great...now cute kittens have finally leaked into this thread, which was the last resort of the whole internet without those.

 

...well then, beware of these two apex predators:

The POI spawned vultures for sure attack on sight, however it seemed to me that out in the environment they would follow menacingly, but not actually attack.  Not like I really want to turn my back to confirm such theories.

Yup. They like chasing and attacking no matter what my HP or injury status is.

I know POI vultures will. These were wild ones though.

This is crazy!
Looks like it has extra armor, extra fuel, extra luggage, and extra seating.
I can't wait to see it equipped with the other Rubber Chicken.

They will also attack if you are riding any vehicle.

New motorcycle model.  Will be updating the fan diary 

[Adam the Waster]

BTW what kinda of bird skull is this! a argentavis? a condor! 

 

Thing is so big! Giggity

[Mumpfy]

I can think of two posibilities....

 

natural history museums are not really hard to break in during the apocalypsis so you can pretty much pick your fav bike ornaments (which i would totally do also)

 

or they just spoiled the new giant vulture boss they were saving for alpha32

 

22... i meant alpha 22

I’m still not digging the look of that heavy armor however I am sure I’ll get over it.

I especially like the mucky brake discs. They just tell the same story as the whole badass bike design: I don't brake for nothing...or never at all to be exact 😀

 

weird side note:

the moment I saw the first screenshot, I immediately remembered that location as my spawnpoint in Navezgane I think it was the very first time I started the game back in...I guess A16?.

Crazy how the game burns itself into your brain isn't it?

Regarding bikes or cars or whatever vehicle and armor, I would prefer them to look more normal but beat up normal. Same with armor, I would prefer to have light armor being worn looking heavy clothes, medium armor being something like we have like a stop sign knit into a heavy shirt and heavy armor being like a  padded chest with metal in it. 
Have a few different looks for

each set, bothers me how all players ultimately look the same. I know this is more programming work and maybe it is not a reasonable thing to expect at this point.

Maybe as a story develops it will make more sense why the cars on the street are normal, looted clothes are normal but we all drive around in mad max like vehicles and wear mad max like clothes.
