No animals... at all?

A new update is now available, introducing seasons and more!
Latest hotfix: 0.8.0.2 (2024-12-30)

    I'm late to enjoy this update. I searched to see if this was reported already but found nothing.

    At every major update I start a new seed because I love the exploration. I've survived a few days on one and tested two more random seeds. I flew around a bit on all of them to search, but I'm not finding any animals, at all, anywhere.

    I double-checked the settings: Animal Spawnrate = 100% and 300% tried. Verified all new seeds start with all animals on.

    I know I can do it manually with console commands, so I'll use that work around.

    Is this an issue not yet reported? Or user error?

    Advice welcome.

    Understood. I've hiked around quite a bit as well. Tried a few more seeds and sailed to check out several biomes. Hiked across the desert and explored a lot of a winter region as well. Still no animals anywhere unless I spawn them by command code.

    hummm weird, maybe try verify your game files?

    I found extremely little animals in the arctic region (like I met 2 mooses and a bunch of penguins after about 1 hour), but found plenty in the other biomes, so not sure what the problem might be with them not spawning for you there.

    That worked! Thanks! I wouldn't have thought of doing that so soon after an update.

    Sometimes despite the best efforts of developers, Steam has issues updating games completely. I've actually started to get into the habit of manually verifying the games files after updates, especially the big updates.
