Cantr II Discussion Forum

The dogs are breeding like rabbits... and the rabbits are breedling like dodos. Is this happening just in my region? I never kill rabbits and their population stays in low single figures. But the dogs are breeding so fast I have to hunt them every day just to keep the population around 20.

I'm a good hunter and have reduced the bears and other dangerous animals to single figures, but I can't get on top of the dogs. Meanwhile, the rabbit numbers shrink even though I don't hunt them.

This has been going on for a while, so I thought I'd ask the question: is it possible that my hits on the dogs are actually killing rabbits?

Yep, I see the same in my location (polish zone):
rabbits, no one hunt: 3
dogs, are hunted: 29
Others animals, somewhere between: 11,8,14,6,7

Some other place:
rabbits: 2
dogs: 45
others animals: 12,7,28,23,12,16

in an area I am... the rabbits and pigeons disappeared totally now..

The dogs got a little hungry, Sunni.

There are dogs somewhere in Cantr?

The answer to your observation is that dogs have double the breeding rate of rabbits. Rabbits used to be out of control, and I peeled back their reproduction values. Dogs had been reduced to double-digit population, so I ramped up their breeding rate. Since all the existing populations are going to be replaced with new animals, I stopped watching the "old animal" populations a while ago, except when I need to do a periodic cull.

I'll pull their reproductive rate back some, and look at their pops when I do the next cull. When the new populations are implemented (hopefully in June), then things will be fixed.

I remember about 70 cantr years ago when two young men, and ones 'wife' didn't even have any animals at all.
