Hello,

i know they increased the spawn of Deers and Bears at Brown Trails, but what happens if u pave it over?

Animals don't spawn at paved areas, so I assume that will be it.

Yeah if I remember correctly, trails are basically just a biome of their own, so their mechanics should be the same as any other biome as far as halting its behavior when you pave over it (or, presumably, even digging over it).

There's a thread every now and then about people trying to expand game trails by digging out the surrounding biome and letting it very slowly grow out, can't remember if anyone was for sure successful but I think it should be possible. Just an example of how they're just a biome.

yes, i've seen it done on roa, were about a 100x100 had been turned into game trail. Can't say i noted much special about it back then, but with the semi-recent change of even more spawns on them, who knows!

do things spawn on fields?

Yes. And fun fact you can pave under fields too. However, I reserve the right to torch all fields that have pavement under them when I get around to fixing that so I highly suggest that players don't do that.

please give us warning about this well in advance so that we can dig up the pavement. I kind of like how you can pave hay under a field, it makes it look kind of cool so I don't know why this even needs to be changed.

But if players had paved under their fields without this prior knowledge of your decision on torching fields and they had a ton of fields that were high purity?
It would probably be better to just delete the pavement after fixing it rather than destroying valuable fields as to not piss off the playerbase.

Once a field is paved under, the player can't even remove the pavement since the field blocks their ability to use dig on the paved spot.

not with a 1x1 field fix custom res applied Still, this is only a possibility and JC already posted that patch warnings would be given in that case. Relax, guys.
