Animal Location Maps

🗺️ Map Overview

This is a series of high-resolution maps that accurately mark the locations of rare animals and various random encounters in the game. Using high-definition maps as a basis, the author personally marked all location points to ensure the markings were as accurate as possible.

📦 File format

Map files are in **7z** format and use **LZMA2** compression algorithm. You need a decompression tool that supports this format. It is recommended to use the open source and easy-to-use 7-Zip.

🎮Mod Compatibility

The author used several mods to enhance the game experience when making these maps:

  • Improved Wildlife: Increase animal spawn rate
  • RampageTrainer: The teleportation function greatly facilitates map testing

📋Contains content

Each compressed package contains a detailed **README.MD** file, providing:

  • Complete map legend description
  • Gameplay Notes
  • Activity locations outside the camp (wood cutting, coffee, stew pot, wine box, etc.)
  • Specific times and weather conditions for animal spawning

🐾 Animals tagged

  • California Quail
  • Cougar + Black Panther
  • Gila monster
  • grizzly bear
  • owl
  • Red-cockaded Woodpecker
  • Timberwolves

🎯 Event tag

  • horse racing events
  • Hostile gangs (camps, hideouts, random events, ambushes, etc.)
  • "Sit down" special prompt and animated position
  • Sun Worshipers (epilogue plot)

These maps are still a work in progress. If you have verified location information you'd like to share, feel free to post a screenshot via private message or on the mod's post page. Please be sure to indicate the time of encounter, whether it was perched/static or flying, and if it was a situational event please describe it in detail.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
