Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.21.6, outdated):
KAT Mod v2.0.zip 1-click install
consider the following rhetoric:
- are you sick of needing to knap enough arrows to go to war with france?
- does sprinting after forest creatures through the brush and machine gunning half a dozen spears into their ass at point blank feel unimmersive?
- should a 1,000lb moose probably not have basically the same hit points as a goat?
if you answered yes to any of the above questions and/or have a (just) hatred of the deer and their various species then you probably don't need this mod but chances are you couldn't find a better one
what this mod does
- adjusts the health of animals (in general health is reduced roughly by half)
what this mod does not do
- literally anything else
questions / comments /concerns
why was this mod made?
- spite
does this affect any of the monsters or players?
- no
wouldn't it be better to overhaul damage instead?
- probably
this upsets the balance of the game
- don't care didn't ask L cope seethe mald etc
i disagree with X value or Y decision

Hope u'll update it, cause spite? Oh, i have plenty of that towards both animals, and devs nerfing our only reliable means of damage dealing.
I checked the files and it seems nothing has changed in the past few versions, the mod should work as-is, no need to wait for an update as it would probably only be an update to the ver number in mod data.
This is a must have for me so praying its updated soon !!
this is the best mod ever i hate when i stab a deer 15 times with a spear it doesnt die then for some reason it can 2 tap you in early game
Hope this mod will get a 1.22 version soon so people don't have to live in fear of the world's most dangerous monster: The mouflon sheep.
the mod i never knew i needed, but quietly wanted thank you.
What really throws me off the most about hunting animals is just how absurdly aggressive that they are. If you're within detection range when you hit them with an arrow they instantly lock in and zone in on you like a homing missile. It's not so much "hunting" as it is "aggroing a deer so that we can fight to the death in mortal kombat while I'm strafing and bhopping like I'm in a Quake deathmatch". I've died more to herbivores than to wolves and bears so far, wolves are barely a threat with a copper spear and wood lamellar, deer on the other hand are absolute murder machines with just how much more HP they have, how fast they are, and how much damage that they can do to you. It's extremely silly.
TurtleFrom There's also Blood Trails and Footprints to really up the hunting immersion. No more losing your prey in the underbrush.
@TurtleFrom maybe try Flee Exhaustion
so close to what i crave when hunting i want the animals to get slower as they get more injured, but this mod does make me happy
Oh deer!
giga based
Greetings, love this mod. Could you add some mod animals too? Equus, Critter Pack and Feverstone Wilds as example.
Best regards
Loving the FAQ bit, 10/10 mod description.
The thumbnail restored my faith in humanity
this is exactly how a mod thumbnail should be done
Does this work with Combat Overhaul?
Hey, this is a great mod! It really helps with my hatred for deer (IRL), because where i live the redwolf has completely been wiped out
hadn't bothered checking whether this mod would still be compatible with current versions, apparently they shuffled the entities files around at some point so v2.0 is now up
thank you for the reminder jabes, you get a gold star
Would love this in 1.21.1. Such a great mod!!!
I had this idea on how to overhaul hunting as a mechanic in vintage story by making it so stealth-attacking animals weakens them, either by causing them to slowly bleed out and faint (leaving a trail of blood that the player can follow) or by slowing them down/immobilizing them for players to close in and finish the animal off.
But until somebody with modding experience can make such a mod, this will have to do.
Amazing mod description.
I didn't know I'd see the day where people make videogame deer extermination propaganda posters, but here we are
10/10
I like your QCC section. :D
Finally a mod that lets me be rid of the Cervid menace!
Those little do no goods with their snide expressions and beady eyes shall trouble me no longer!
one the best descriptions of a mod that I've ever seen
As a deer person I am offended but downloading this anyways because reasons
Dude, let’s kill the deer
