Gleudal Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Well at least heavier wildlife should break through thin ice as well. I managed to hunt down a bear with a single headshot in forlorn muskeg and wasnt able to harvest it, cause i always fell through the ice (see screenshots). one time i sprinted and was lucky to get into the menu for harvesting but half a second later i was wet again. I understand that rabbits and wolfes and maybe also deer can walk across ice, that wont carry me, but a bear? KI should also be improved, that only animals in panic would move on thin ice and maybe fall through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Guille Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Are you imagining that an animal that has fallen through the ice would be lost, or would it be able to return to shore somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, If it's alive and not too badly hurt, it should be able to return to the thicker ice just as we are able to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there should be different possibilities: 1. wildlife drowns (it will get under the ice and it wont be possible to find it again) 2. wildlife manages to climb out (but takes a while and the player can shoot it while it tries. OOOOOr maybe he can help him and makes a friend) 3. wildlife stucks and will die to predator or hunger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjern Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Basically what would happen is either it drowns and is gone, or it escapes alive and possibly wounded or affected in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBondReturns Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 In my mega-run I have going I hunted a wolf down...and he trekked out over what I didn't realize was thin ice. I put him down but could not harvest him at all. It's initially frustrating but I saw it as just another challenge. However perhaps he could've broken at least partially through the ice. Woulda been kinda neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cekivi Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Wolves would be able to cross much thinner ice than a person could. They weigh less and the weight's better distributed. Bear and deer definitely shouldn't be able to though! If for no other reason than reducing player frustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBondReturns Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Speaking of which in my continued recording of my sandbox I lost a deer I had killed that died on thin ice...and the arrow that killed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Carlson Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Currently, wildlife pathing should be avoiding areas of weak ice when wandering "normally." When spooked or injured, however, they may find themselves running over weak ice. It's an aspect of their current behavior that we are aware of. Thanks for your suggestions here on possible alternatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
