Ey I was just looking at your map for Hirschfelden! You on facebook? I could use your maps to help me get my first diamond. Been playing for a littme over a year. Also, if he goes after other need zones and kills more animals, that takes away hunting pressure in other areas. Therefore repopulating that need zone.

[@labowidi]

Wait... The need zones are completely destroyed? Like deleted? Or just temporarily blocked until hunting pressure is gone?

[@jayc3091]

[@markusvinplex747]

Around a year ago, me and my friend were hunting in Layton on my map and he found a white elk, we later confirmed it's an albino and it scored gold for him. The next day, i was hunting in single player and i found the exact elk in the night. Got him scored same as my friend, the only difference is the rack.

[@mungo7136]

I have few reserves (2 DLC included). When I go to another place like from Yukon to Africa, is time ticking in Yukon? Animals respawn, return to the need zones, pressure disappears? I am just at the beginning thus I watched several of these videos to learn

[@longdarn]

One thing I have noticed: some days my map has many animals in my zones and other days very few. Great info! Keeping us informed, thanks Beard!

[@ZingZing609]

Same! The other day i went to the roonache bridge, which is notorious for have tons of whitetail and there was nothing, bare. But tonight i went and found 4 new zones and got 5 whitetail bucks out of there! Weird!

[@JaxyBeard]

Animals will move thru the regions they are in. They dont always return to the same zones anymore so take a run around to find them 🍻

Thank you JaxyBeard I have been asking for these answers for months now and all I could find was gamers who titled their video with what I was asking but they just sat there and played the game and never explained what the topic or question was.

Thanks Mr. Beard, very informative video. I always wondered why I had fewer animals on my maps than other people, I probably have not collected enough need zones. That kinda makes sense now.

Over 2 years after making this video and most of it still makes more sense than more 'recent' vids. Thanks a lot my beard brother. Had the game for a few years and after a couple of hours decided to forget it. Recently reinstalled it because I was bored. Oh brother, I am so glad I did. Still buggy in places but the vids make the game far more playable. However, I am finding that the more I learn, the more confused I get. Not sure how that works. 😁

[@Eat-MyGoal]

apart from the fact it's almost entirely incorrect...

[@tadge-rico]

@@Eat-MyGoal Well, as I am learning, most of what beard has said here makes sense of what i am encountering. Therefore, what, exactly, is incorrect about it, if, as you say, ".. the fact it's almost entirely incorrect..." When I watch other content creators I am just left more confused.

[@Eat-MyGoal]

@@tadge-rico He's talking nonsense. I've made a bunch of other comments yesterday because this video is so annoyingly incorrect. If you organise the comments in date order you can see them. To summarise though: Killing only one species does not make that species population bigger. Finding need zones does not make the overall population bigger - it just gives that impression because you know where to go and when. Needs zones play NO PART in the population size mechanics. I've had up to 400 need zones on maps in the past - before they did the most recent re-set - and the size of the population DID NOT change. At all. In any way. The size of the population is set the first time you play a map by the animal population file which is generated and stored on your computer, the size of which rarely changes - it goes up and down by a few dozen animals at best, irrespective of what you kill or how many and the proportion of the overall population per animal species remains the same. It's pretty much 'one out, one in'. Like I say, I'm not speculating the animal population scanner PROVES this. Animals don't spawn back in between 3-6 days, they respawn after kills almost instantaneously - it happens in real time as shown by the animal population scanner. They don't respawn at a certain time in a certain place on the map - that's him observing animals walking from outside his render distance towards him and into it, and he's witnessing this happen at the same place at the same time because he's observing the animals following their pre-determined paths between need zones which take place at a pre-determined time. 🤣🤣. When you do that, they do seemingly just pop up out of nowhere. But the render distance is metre-specific so that's exactly what will happen when an animal crosses that point. He IS right to say when you kill an animal it will spawn back in one that is either bigger or smaller. So it is wise to kill only males and only the higher class ones - this will increase the chance of diamonds, but the impact is MARGINAL - your animal pop is never going to go from 5 diamonds to 20, you might gain an extra one at best. I've got 180 diamonds, I know my stuff. I would recommend finding and downloading the animal population scanner - it's not a cheat tool, it doesn't tell you where the animals are but it does show you the size of the population, logs and displays the real time respawns, and gives a decent indication of how many diamonds within the population. This is helpful because sometimes the game generates a population with no diamonds in it at all, in which case it's wise to delete that population file and let the game generate a new one. If you're a diamond hunter that is. Not everyone is and there are many ways to play the game. RE: Need zones... they are VERY useful and worth protecting. I've killed countless diamonds when I have followed a high trophy animal trail, found the need zone and then placed a tripod nearby and gone back just before the animal is due there the next in-game day and killed it. Most of my diamond kills have been pre-planned rather than just stumbling across one. Often I will see a diamond and if the line of sight is not good enough or it's too far away I will hold fire, mark on the map where I saw it, go there and find its tracks, follow them and find its need zone. Another thing about needs zones and you'll be able to verify this. You know when you find one and there's a bunch of glowing need zones markers? You click on one and it might say 'one mule deer' and you click on another glowing need zone marker right next to it and that might say 'three mule deer'? That's because animals which use the same need zone are often from different groups and they can arrive at slightly different times. This is worth noting: NEVER shoot the first big buck you see. Wait, there might be another group about to turn up with a diamond in it and you've just scared it off ;) If you want any more advice, ask away - I'd rather you learn the game from facts and if I don't know, I'll just say so. Too much garbage is said about this game by people propagating theories based on confirmation bias...

[@Delightful_Oreos]

@@Eat-MyGoal could please please please make a video on all of the facts rather than all this made up bull crap I'd really appreciate it

[@trophybuckoutdoors9765]

Me and my friend did the thing where if you shoot a diamond in muiltiplayer it will be there in single player he had a diamond cape bufflo on his map and in total we kill the same bufflo at the same need zone about 8 times sometimes the bufflo was about 200m from where we last shot it but all you got to do is when you shoot it on mulitiplayer just get your friend to reload his game

[@theballpythonproject6598]

Thanks for this. Just came back to playing this game after a few years of not playing. I was always confused on why I rarely seen animals and more recently why moose were all over! Haha. This answers a lot of questions as I've only recently been trying to learn the meta of this game to pursue larger animals.

[@justplainbrad7713]

The very first answer conflicts with a game creator. Here JaxyBeard said, ''if you shot an animal and didn't collect it, it will reappear as an exact duplicate''. COTW Creator said, ''When an animal dies, it's 'profile is erased' from the system, and it is gone forever''. Someone here is wrong.

[@aidenmccraw4423]

Sorry for a reply 3mo later, but this is the exact reason I searched for this video. Someone on my Reddit post said I had to pick them up, but i havnt picked up over 600 kills during my grind and definitely do not get the same animal respawns, so harvesting them definitely has no effect on it, either way it is a random respawn in my experience.

[@justplainbrad7713]

@@aidenmccraw4423 Periodically, a creator will answer certain questions on Steam, and this was one of the questions...so it came from the top. I've listened to a lot of people answering questions, and they were dead wrong. Most answer from their own guessing, and not from trial/error, or from documented information. While playing regularly, the past 2+years, I've encountered many problems that others said 'worked a certain way', only to test, and find that those people were guessing, and very wrong. One example - Setting tents : It was set-up within the resting zone of bison, and when entering the zone, and waiting in a tripod, the animals were a "no-show. Then, seeing their tracks everywhere, I left the tripod, removed the tent, and walked 250yd away returning immediately to find the zone full of animals. They were there, they just didn't materialize until I left the zone, and removed the target tent. People had told me different things, and reasons, and only while experimenting did I find the reason. This was tried three more times, and worked exactly the same way each time.

Played this game like a year ago and got to level 30 something without even seeing a diamond let alone having to worry about the quick kill and consec bullshit after i shot it. I started over about a month ago and am a 19 and have 5 diamonds and while the veterans might be having trouble converting their maps into diamond mines. for those of us that have to be at the factory at 6 am every day this new RNG way of hunting is a blast and alot more magical

[@tmager2545]

Very helpful. Until now I really had No idea how respawns worked

[@jamescobrien]

My brother got a quick kill on a level 5 red deer, then a lev 6 came out with another quick, then a level 7 came out another quick kill, then he killed a level 8 without a quick kill. A level 7 came out, all within 10 min real time. Tripod stands to help keep hunting pressure lower. We keep experimenting to see if quick kills reward us with higher levels to confirm.

[@fk3723]

That's one very informative video that clarifies a very important aspect of the game. Many thanks and lots of greetings from Greece.

[@Eat-MyGoal]

'The more need zones you have on your map the more animals you have on your map?' TOTALLY INCORRECT. The pop size is established when the pop file is generated and rarely alters much in numbers up or down. I'm not debating this, I'm telling you this. The animal population scanner proves this beyond doubt. All needs zones do - and this is of value - is show you where to hunt and when, thus giving you an impression of a larger animal pop...

[@TheDrBerd]

Incredibly helpful. Was under the impression it was the same as before 2.0. Great video!

[@RasRandy]

Yesterday a friend and I were in Multiplayer and he was about to shoot a diamond potential moose. I got dropped out to single player and we were both looking at a diamond potential moose in two different games. He was the host and the moose was even transferred to my map.

[@orionpatterson5735]

Great videos, I've learned a lot from watching you! In behind the times and just found this game about a month ago, on console. First thing I learned was need zones and population, then I started my whitetail grind to spawn a diamond. Been hitting my locations as often as possible, bouncing from their drink time right into feeding time. However on 3 separate occasions in 2 feed zones, I have shot both lvl 2 bucks that were present and moved on to the next zone. When coming back by these 2 zones about an hour later(in game time), there were 2 more bucks in those zones of the exact same lvl and weight class as the original 2. I didn't harvest them because of hunting pressure, but if all feed at the same time and there isnt another feed zone remotely close by, where did they come from so fast? Respawns already? Layton Lake was the reserve, zones are along the Highton River. Thanks again for all your videos and insight, hopefully soon I can nail me a diamond for the lodge!

[@svE-89]

Hi, first of all, great video! It does raise a lot of questions. 1. First of all, the respawn category. Around 1:25 you say that a killed animal will return the same weight category. This allows for a different level animal as if you kill a high weight 2 it can come back as a low weight 3. But that means an animal that is not max weight will never respawn as a max weight. Therefore all non-max-weight kills are worthless when it comes to diamonds and only could result in special fur. Is that correct? 2. Second, about multiplayer. My husband and I have been testing and confirmed the following: If the host of the multiplayer game quits that game, everything that is hence killed on that map will still be available on his single player map. I did spot a legendary water buffalo on his map, he quit, went single player and we both killed that buffalo. Feels like cheating though, so we did not do the same with my legendary puma. After I killed it in multiplayer on my map (without leaving beforehand) it was no longer there on my single player map. Moreover, if all multiplayer kills (without leaving server) did not matter at all and multiplayer took a 'snapshot' of your single player map, that would mean every time you start a multiplayer game that same legendary puma is gonna be somewhere on that map (if you never kill it on single), which seems incorrect. 3. About animals respawning in about 6 in-game days. This one is a complete mystery to me as I've witnessed the following. Killing an animal in a single-animal need zone and the next in-game day there is another animal in that zone. Or killing the only male in a herd results in a new male in the herd soon enough. If said animal has not respawned yet, then where does that new animal come from? Does it come from another herd, thus maybe leaving that one without a male? I've joined Discord and would love to hear a pro's response if you do get the time here or there. Thanks again for the great videos!

[@jackohaire1616]

ya i don't think they take 6 days to spawn either, I've had them spawn back a few real hours after shooting them

[@idontknowlololol]

You can grind with just one zone, systematically killing animals in it but having more zones really improves your chances

[@rudeguitarttv7059]

Seen someone share a albino moose last night on stream. Doing what you said to do at the end. His buddy shot it on multiplayer and then he logged onto his single player and it was standing in the same spot lol

[@markrickard2373]

Another great video Jaxy. I had a respawn on a 9 legendary red deer last week in the same need zone that I shot the first 9 legendary 3 or 4 days before. Unfortunately they both didn't make diamonds. Hopefully if it respawns there again it will make a diamond fingers crossed.

[@jackohaire1616]

The host needs to leave the map before the other player shoots the diamond, if u want to shoot this diamond but not lose it off your map then invite a friend to your map, once he joins leave, join back and kill the diamond, leave the map and check your single player and that diamond should still be there, we called it diamond trading, but i stopped because there just isn't a good feeling off shooting a diamond you didn't find and started hunting alternate account maps with friends so we got new populations.

Hi Jaxy Beard, long time since I've written a comment to you, how you doin? So my question has been answered, animals do resporn but to add to that, I can confirm that if you find great spot to put a large round hide, the animals appear to get use to it and later in the simulator, you can go back to it and fire at will... Okay, the truth is, well, I forgot to pack it back up and continued tracking a coyote. Set base near its home and then got chased by a bear... Forgot about my hide. But hey, it works. The animals ignored it and I shot me loads of credits to spend on more fire power. Mr Jaxy Beard, I've got myself addicted to another Simulator. I've not played CotW in months probably, 6 months now. I was reintroduced to a Simulator I've not played in years and started my journey back in 1984. Yes, I've been married to Elite Dangerous: Horizons for the past 6 months. I can't stop playing it. Problem is, I miss CotW and played it for a little while at 4am this morning. Yeah I'm all up to date because of my season pass and here's something for you to laugh at, I purchased the new park, Te Awaroa' in New Zealand forgetting I've got the season pass. Stuuuuupiiiiiid! I have to admit Mr Jaxy, it felt good being back in the CotW even if it was for just 2 hours. If I may, I'll call on you soon and go for walk and see what we can find because I have a Mic now. I splashed out on some decent looking gaming wired surround sound headphones. I got a right bargin, the headphones retail at £120.00 but I got my pair in a 24hr sale from Amazon for £45.49 including p&p. Sweeeet! So, if your up for it, I'll give you a shout sometime. Anyways, thanks for this great informative video and I'll look forward to the next video. Stay safe.

I had just shot a fallow deer and when I was claiming my harvest, all of a sudden a boar did not even charge but walked peacefully on me scoring two very damaging hits at once.

Otherwise a good hunting game but sometimes quite ridiculous things take place.

Superb video, with some excellent insight into how respawns work so thanks a lot for this, JaxyBeard. I wonder, though, after 2.0 as far as Respawn Times go. When you say 3 to 6 days for an animal to respawn, does that mean that that's 3 to 6 days of time spent in that same hunting Reserve that the animal was killed in? Or is it 3 to 6 days total, regardless of which reserve those are spent in? As in, can I shoot a musk deer in Medved, then leave immediately after killing it and go to Vurhonga and spend 3 days there, then travel to Parque Fernando and spend another 3 days there finally to return to Medved where my musk deer will have respawned since 6 days have elapsed since it was shot?

I've harvested a few diamonds, I'm just curious if it's a refresh everytime I play and if that may create a disadvantage.

I didnt know that they respawn in the same weight class, are you sure?

Question I am on Xbox I started a mission and then was killed by wolf and now can not go any further in the mission how do you restart a mission

[@toddmfd]

So I should be harvesting the level 1 bucks MORE to get them to respawn to a higher level. All my need zones are just a very few animals in them. I never see “herds”.

[@christowphersadventures6527]

Great video. Very helpful!

[@djb2046]

Doesn’t that leave room for exploitation if this is how the respawn system works? For example. If I spot a Diamond potential animal and I mess up the shot, or accidentally use the wrong caliber for example, and that animal dies. I could simply avoid harvesting that Diamond potential animal just to get another crack at it when it respawns. Is this correct?

[@squirrely5527]

DJB 204 yes I did it before on an elk multiple times...the gun (I don’t remember what one) didn’t have the penetration to get double lung at that distance. This was before all the changes when you needed 100% quick kill. Also after around 5 tries I gave up and claimed it, hoping to get full quick kill. Welp it was close but nope😂 botched diamond.

[@squirrely5527]

Hope that makes sense...

[@cashnclip4725]

@jaxybeard when it comes to respons of animals, if you kill a female does it come back as a female, or when killing a male does it come back as a male.

[@JustinMentionedIt]

My new game constantly crashes. New ps5 too.. I mean crashes 1-3 times a day playing 1-5 hours a day

[@norbertlevas3819]

Thanks again Jaxy for great informative video! Always learning lots from your videos 👍

[@scottezl3779]

I wonder, do the animals always re-spawn as the same sex? I usually take out the males and leave the females on Deer, but if the female kills also have a chance to come back as a male, then that might change my game plan.

[@Trey-ce2lq]

That's good news because I killed a level 5 goose and it went through the map😂

[@Pfingstei]

Great video 😊. Is there really a link between discovered need zones and the number of animals on the map?

[@JaxyBeard]

There is testing being done and it does in fact seem that there can be an increase of up to 15% total population. More testing is on going. The main purpose of need zones is to populate those areas. Meaning that more need zones in that area you will have a much better chance of seeing more animal's there at those times. So protect those zones!! Delete those zones and those areas will appear more barren. I will try to get another video out talking more in depth about this

[@Pfingstei]

Thank you for the response and reverse engineering :-). I really learn a lot watching your guide movies. Great game.

[@dannycaper2715]

Since the update I’ve been seeing a lot less animals. Today with 3 hours real time played I spotted 1 moose 1 whitetail. Noticed my atv is alot slower and handles different. Yesterday I found animals around a lake that were stuck and could not be killed. I’ve tried Layton lake, Yukon valley. If someone has a suggestion as to why my game is messed up I’d appreciate it

[@okehansen3872]

So I hunted whitetail with a friend on my map recently and we found a diamond whitetail. I let him shoot and harvest it. What you are saying now is it's still there on my map in singleplayer?

[@lennard6345]

I killed a diamond piebald rocky mountain elk and i failed the shot. I left my multiplayer server and came back in single player but it isnt there anymore. I didnt harvested it. So it should be still there. Can they switch needzones or is he just despawnt?

[@niclinford5495]

Great video mate! Watched it 4 times now 🤣🤣🤣

[@JaxyBeard]

Fantastic! Ty ma man!

[@karina4t]

Awesome and useful video. Thnx Jaxy ♥

[@JaxyBeard]

Karina it's my pleasure! Ty for watching

[@swisht]

I managed to kill an albino grizzly bear but my internet and the game kicked me out..I managed to claim it eventually...will it respawn so i can Harvest it for a trophy next time?????

[@talkytripod9163]

I wanna know does respawns work if u do not pick up the animal

[@seanpeek4696]

Is that 3 to 6 days respawns on that map for those animals or any map as long as it is time???

[@daveycrockett308]

Thank You For The info !

[@Belmork]

Greetings my friend How up to date is this information? I've been told that it changed but can't find a relatively up to date post regarding the respawns.

[@JaxyBeard]

This is very current. Only difference is the 3 day respawn is actually the time it takes for them to move back to an area. They respawn right away

[@connortraugott8736]

So if I shot a diamond mountain goat and my friend claimed it on a random multiplayer map, Is there a way I can taxedermize it

[@AndyMick]

Great info Mr beard yuss sir

[@tarzanjr852]

Ok say I have two need zones beside each other I messed up and got level 4 hunting pressure and they dissipeared what now do they come back or are they just gone can I come back at the same time and them be there?

[@rattentanz90]

Does it take the animals 3-6 ingame days to respawn on the particular map or in general?
