In this hotfix, we aim to balance the animal raids logic to make it playable and ultimately believable by limiting larger animal incursions to periods of resource scarcity in the wild, requiring raids to occur in low-light conditions near dusk or dawn, and ultimately ensuring only smaller animals frequent your settlement.

We have also addressed the issue of not being able to start games without the new animal raid functionality.

Of course, with other additional improvements that you can see below.
