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

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- 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.
