So far the wild was scenery. This part made it dangerous, and made it live and die on its own.



## The first try: a wolf that couldn't kill

The first two dangerous animals were a boar and a wolf, set up so they could hurt a colonist but never kill one. It didn't feel right. A wolf that can't kill you isn't a wolf. So wolves were taken out for now, to come back later as the deadly threat they should be, and a smaller animal took their place.



## Coyotes: skittish, sneaky, hungry

The coyote is small and doesn't fight fair. It circles, darts in for a bite, runs off, and comes back for another try. When it's hungry it hunts rabbits. It'll test people even when it's not hungry, but after a few tries it gives up and leaves; it only keeps at it if it's starving and there's nothing easier around. Groups of people and fire put it off.



Boars got a temper of their own: hit one and it runs, with a chance of turning to fight back. How likely that is depends on how aggressive the animal is.

## Getting hurt

The first bite exposed a problem: the colonist just lay down slowly, as if going to bed. That was wrong. Now a bitten colonist panics and runs. Bites add up to an **injury**, and a bleeding colonist leaves a trail of blood drops: the more drops, the faster they're bleeding. Only after many bites does someone collapse.



Injured colonists can keep working, just slower. Even a small injury is noticeable. Resting heals much faster, though.

When someone does collapse, another colonist can carry them to a bed. With no beds yet, they carry them back to camp, near the ship or whatever has been built, instead of standing next to them doing nothing.

## What's left behind

Predators eat what they kill, and you can watch it happen: blood on the ground, a carcass, and eventually bones that crumble away over the weeks. Each carcass holds a certain amount of meat, and different animals give different amounts of food. Leave a carcass alone and, depending on the weather, it starts to rot after a few days, with green fumes rising off it, until only bones are left.



## A howl out of thin air

Wolves may be gone for now, but they left their voice. The howl was made entirely by code: rising and falling tones with a breathy edge and a soft echo. No recordings, no AI sound model.



Next: crafting tools, and colonists that are strong or quick.
