🐜 Special Food Sources: Insects & Carcasses

Not all food is tied to plants or live prey. Two special mechanics — insect mounds and carcass spawns — play an important role in survival.

🐜 Insect Mounds

• Found in scattered locations across the map.

• Provide nutrition for animals capable of eating insects.

• Useful as a backup food source when vegetation or meat is scarce.

• Respawn over time, so mounds can be revisited after use.

🦴 Carcass Spawns

• Random locations where dead animal carcasses spawn.

• Available for carnivores and omnivores.

• Provide consistent food in areas with low player activity.

• Especially valuable in solo private servers, where hunting opportunities are minimal.

💡 Strategy Tips

• Scavenge spawned carcasses— they’re survival lifelines.

• Use insect mounds as “pit stops” to keep food levels steady during travel.

• Expect competition at food sources in crowded servers.

✅ Summary
Special food sources act as backup systems in survival. Insect mounds keep omnivores fed, and carcass spawns keep carnivores alive even without successful hunts.
