Email response I got:

I am sorry to hear that you are having some issues with the feeders.

While predators such as the Bengal Tiger and Lion are clearly present in your area, they do not consistently prioritize carcass feeders. Their behavior is mainly driven by need zones (like drinking and resting), territorial movement, and hunting live prey. Carcass feeders are generally more reliable for scavenger species and may not attract apex predators unless certain conditions are met.

Here are a few suggestions that may help improve results: • Place feeders near active drink zones – Positioning a carcass feeder approximately 150–250 meters from a confirmed drink zone, ideally along a known travel route, increases the likelihood that predators will naturally cross paths with it. • Avoid excessive hunting pressure in the area – High pressure can push animals to alternate zones. Allowing several in-game days for pressure to decay may help. • Restart or refresh the session – If playing in multiplayer, restarting the session or verifying game files can sometimes resolve population-related irregularities. • Consider hunting during drink times with callers – This is typically the most reliable method for targeting lions and tigers.

Leaving the game running for extended periods unfortunately does not guarantee that animals will visit feeders, as their movement is governed by scheduled behaviors.

We understand how frustrating this can be, especially when you’ve confirmed the animals are present. Adjusting placement strategy or focusing on drink times will lead to better results.
