Toned Down Predators

Toned Down Predators

 

Wolves and bears behave more realistically - they give warnings, respond to hunger and temperature, and can be avoided with awareness. Still dangerous, just less frustrating.

Optional Configuration: This mod includes ConfigLib support for in-game customization. ConfigLib is optional - the mod works without it using the default values below. Install ConfigLib to adjust ranges and spawn rates via GUI.
