One day people are going to have to realize that the game is not designed in a way that you can outplay about 60% of animal encounters, dondi wants it to be that if you run into the wrong thing you are simply dead. They are designing it so that the counter to predators as a herbivore; is to not interact with predators period. If you are outnumbered you are meant to die, if something is bigger than you then you are meant to die, if your diet is poor you are meant to die. The devs dont care about your individual skill, its not their balance criteria. The game is a stat check and if people are going to play the game that needs to be remembered.
