Some of my towns run out of wild pigs and wild birds.  I don't kill them.  I don't know where they go.

Here's a link to a saved game with a mostly empty map.   Where did the wild birds and pigs go?  Only deer are left.  At the Town Hall you can see I have never killed an animal.  Here's the same town before I blew up everything.  I can only find wild deer. 

You can load the map seed:  112084710, Small, Peak's Mountains.  Pigs and birds ALWAYS spawn in the lake to the southeast.  I started an Adam and Eve version, let the 2 die, and cranked the speed to x200.  After 150 years there were still birds and pigs.  The numbers were very low.  It is possible they would have disappeared after a bit longer.

I have other towns where I ran out of wild pigs and wild birds.

I just looked into my present town, 75 years old about half of the map built on. There are white birds but I couldn't find one single pig.

they has the same amount of chance to respawn as the deers : 1 per year.
keep in mind when you see deer they are not all deers : Bisons, foxes, hares, and wolves are using the deers graphics.

are you using very little map ? cause maybe there isnt enough place to have so many packs....

[Nilla]

I use a big map, but as I said; 50% built. And I just looked once. I´ve never noticed that they would disappear. I only looked because @smurphys7 missed them. Last year my 11*2 hunters killed 2 boar and this year (winter) only one. So they are pretty rare and I guess they aren´t present every time we look around.

As I said i think they are there and will appear now and then, like in life hard to find.

Changed prices of those resources and lowered the amount sold from merchants in counter measures.
All professions should be in alphabetical order now.
I doubled the working units to build a root cellar.
I added a minimize button on all building windows i could add.

i lowered the amount of food across the board from -0.1% to -10%. fish got up though and greenhouse are 10% faster. Raw meat got the biggest cut, although the lowest new ones got boosted (hare/birds).
