This... though ever trip across a snake in the wilderness? They usually don't just go all aggro and bite as it's their means of catching dinner. They usually give some warning unless you quite literally step on them. I say usually because some species don't have complex warning systems like rattlesnakes, and some are highly aggressive. Anyway, when I'm actually in the wilderness, I usually can tell there's an animal nearby because you can hear them. Wild animals, especially dangerous ones, could just use more attention grabbing... if you're paying attention. It obviously shouldn't be a Klaxon siren. The minimap icons are good except the snakes... it needs changing. But the icons can get too cluttered. Maybe a way to turn some off.
About the only reason I use Amber at this point is finding specific trees and shrubs. There are a few other QoL things there that could be added, but nothing I'd say we strictly need.
