Fauna of the Stone Age: Pantherinae

A collection of big and medium cats of the subfamily Pantherinae, these powerful predators will act as an elusive danger players will have to avoid, and protect their livestock from.

This mod includes:

Each cat makes loud calls from time to time, acting as an early warning for players who learn to recognize which cats are making the sound and which will hunt humans. What’s more, meat can be set on the ground that will temporarily sate predatory cats, making them ignore the player unless they get too close. Or meat can be used to lure them into hazardous terrain.

When hunting prey, the Pantherines will slowly stalk their target before pouncing once close enough. Evasive and observant players should be able to escape in time and avoid conflict when not equipped to do so. The larger cats are similar in strength to brown and polar bears and players should avoid them when possible. For those determined to face these foes, it is recommended to use strategies early humans employed for hunting large predators.

Feature:
Carcasses:  These unique type of fly covered carcasses will prevent big cats spawning in the area around them. They have a chance to spawn when first arriving in an area or when all big cats have been killed off from the area, allowing players to locally wipe out big cats. Destroying the carcass of the respective type will allow more cats to spawn again and some carnivores and scavengers may destroy them as well, so if you want big cat spawns prevented in an area protect these carcasses. Carcasses can be crafted with bones, meat and cat pelts to place in the world.

All species have a unique pelt that can be used to craft hide, taxidermied full body and head mounts.
