Deers

[Safou]

So I was hunting and found an alone deer , I hit it 2 times with a sling and it turned peacful on me and won't attack me , but when I got of my boat it went berserking on my boat trying to destroy it and it did alot of damage to it and this stuff is not written in the wiki . Do you have answers ?

Hmm, the only thing I can say about this, when it turns peacefull it makes the same sound when they are destroying boats (But just faster).

do you mean, they dropped combat when you said "turned peacefull"?
other than that, deers or boars trying to attack boats are one of their featured AI and when it was implemented sometime in w4(i think, but maybe w5) many people talked about it.
i havent tried with deer, but with bears and boars, and i think aurochs and mouflons too, they suddenly start path-finding to attack you (or a boat) once you get off a boat (when you are reachable for them, that is).

[MagicManICT]

Yeah, any animal will go into what I call "crazy mode" and start trying to break things that they can if they see they can path to it. It's random, so at times they'll go to break things, and other times will just follow you around. If you can block the boat (or get out in the shallows so the deer can't reach the boat), then you won't have anything to worry about.

This has really only become problematic since the body patch a couple months ago, though. Had one do the exact same thing to me and destroy two other deer I had in the boat.
