⠀⠀ [b]🔥 Recommended Mods to deal with Boom Creatures 🔥[/b]
If you want predators to interact more intelligently with boom creatures (those that explode on death), I highly recommend using these mods alongside [b]Hunting Grounds[/b]:
[b]🔹 [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2324221340]Predators Hunt Boom Critters[/url][/b] – Allows predators to hunt boom creatures without fearing explosions.
[b]🔹 [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1504182014]BoomMod[/url] or [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2359846788]BoomMod Expanded[/url][/b] – Boom creatures will only explode on death when the killing blow is a gunshot, burn, another explosion, or they are otherwise on fire at the time. This makes it safer for predators to hunt them.
Balance your world’s food chain and make predator-prey interactions feel more organic with [b]Hunting Grounds[/b]!
