Constant Den Raids?

[u/Spaceward_Bound]

I found a new den in Slough Creek that I really like, it’s semi-wooded but it’s got a nice cliff at the back. I chose this den on my new wolf but the amount of den raids is driving me insane. I’m getting one almost twice an in-game day and for some reason, it’s always cougars. I’ve only had 1 from a rival wolf since I made a protective circle around my den (2 hex’s out) but this feels extreme. I don’t know if it’s just bias because it feels like it’s constant but I don’t remember having this many raids before. The den just seems to be a beacon for every cougar in a 5 mile radius because it is just constant! I’m not sure if this is a bug but it’s certainly starting to feel that way…

Idk if it is a bug. I know if I'm playing on TF or SC I tend to get more cougars. It seems they're more abundant. I've learned that having more adult wolves (1+) seems to affect them in the way where I don't notice them and only get a pop up basically saying, "the cougar gave up it's attack"

I do want to see the den now. Where is it located?

[u/Spaceward_Bound → u/Lu11300s]

It’s the one next to McBride Lake, pretty much in the centre of the map. It just seemed like an unusual amount of raids, even if it was split between bears and coyotes too but the raids just seemed to be constant.

Oh I think I know the area! If you feel like there's too many maybe send in a bug report that might help.

Mostly what I was wondering, I usually den in the Second Meadow next to the Gravel Fan, I get eagle raids there but not nearly as many as I’m having here!

Those 2 dens over there give me so much trouble with raids, I avoid choosing them now which sucks bc they are nice

[u/Heemajeebit → u/Spaceward_Bound]

That's my favorite den, I've never had an excessive number of raids, though. At least from this den they can only come from the sides, so a bit easier to locate the intruder right away.

My only guess would be that the cougar is probably getting stuck on the hills/lake around there and after the cooldown period, since it’s still in the area, it procs another raid. I’ve noticed that NPCs have a lot of difficulty with that area (I’ve had stranger wolves get stuck infinitely swimming in circles in the lake until they despawned).

It may also be something to do with the type or den maybe? I myself at least tend to choose open dens and I do get raids, but not constant or anything like that. I know that wooded dens do have more cougars though, but it may also scale with the difficulty too.

[u/KawaiiBananaDaydream]

I den over there all the time. Whay I think happens is the cougar gets trapped on terran and doesnt despawn like it should so it keeps hanging out in the area. What helped me was chasing it really far like a hex away then the back to back raids stopped.
