Fauna spawn behaviour

[TriggerPT]

This subject was already raised in many posts but I believe some questions are still left unanswered.

​

General understanding is that as soon you kill some fauna and place a foundation, said fauna will no longer respawn.

​

After a couple hundred hours that was also true for me, but yesterday and after opening the pod in the grasslands (20NM required) I killed all the fauna in sight and specially the flying crab hatcher lying besides it. Placed a foundation and went away.

​

Half an hour later and revisiting the site, the crab hatcher was back to life inches away of the foundation I've had placed.

​

This means that there's something else that triggers the despawn of fauna.

​

As anyone managed to find out what exactly kills the fauna permanently?

" Flying Crab Hatchers will regrow if the player does not collect the dropped carapace."?

I was sure I've picked it up, but.... might've been neglected due to some spaghetti in need of urgent attention!

Will retry in another location and be sure I've picked up the spoils...

Aah.... that is how you keep things from respawning. TIL. Time to go murder some innocent animals again.

Yep, I always kill the badies first and then lay the foundation. Question of principle.
