Animal Spawns

I'm going to catch heat for this, but.... Deer and beaver spawns are perfect, IF, the value of their hides are reversed, deer should be 12 beavers 4.

Drop turkeys by maybe 25%, they shouldn't be rare, but I shouldn't hear turkeys making that noise in my dreams at night

I agree on the turkeys, dropping it by 25% seems like a good way to do it.
Also I guess it'd make more sense if beavers only spawned in marshland areas. I doubt there's a distinction between ocean and other beach.

This isnt retarded

Its not as bad as the tumble weed spawn rate.

Only turkeys i have a issue with. far too many of them. sometimes 3 or 4 packs next to each other.

IMO they should be this way in darkness, but not in civilization. But then darkness and civilization should occur on a more localized scale, so it's not a 6 hour trip to the hunting grounds.

Or just make it so that certain places have a higher spawn rate of certain animals, f.e the beach on a lake somewhere would happen to have a higher spawn rate of beavers, than the one in boston.

the only reason fertile turkeys are now "a thing" and as such golden geese is due to the increased turkey spawns, i would much rather be tripping over animals than having to spend 20 minutes between spawns as under the old system.

Savagery vs Civilization could be a whole new mechanic, independent (relatively at least) from darkness vs light.

Biomes could have a set starting savagery value influencing spawns.
Then every active claim and town would create a field of civilization around it, effectively dampening the savagery of the lands directly around it.

It could also depend on things like how many trees have been cut or how many animals have been killed on a certain tile in the last week. This way you would be required to change your hunting ground from time to time if didn't want to deplete the savagery value of an area.
