Animal: Actions

How it works

Surveying and tracking

A hunt starts with surveys, one every Survey interval. Each finds tracks with Tracking success chance; the third survey always does.
Surveys pay each Surveying products entry that succeeds, doubled with Output Doubling Chance, until one is found; none is paid again before the next catch.
Tracking takes a number of steps drawn uniformly from Tracking steps, or four times its maximum while the animal is undiscovered. Each step takes a uniform time within Tracking interval and pays the animal's journal tracking XP once it is discovered.
While two or more steps remain, Skip Tracking Step chance counts a step twice.

Trapping

When trapping begins, a rare species is rolled once with Rare species chance.
Each attempt takes a uniform time within Trapping interval, uses one trap unless Input Preservation Chance keeps it, uses one preferred bait while baiting is on, and succeeds with Trapping success chance.
A failure adds the trap's fail bonus once more. Unless Trapping Reattempt Chance lets the next attempt follow at once, the hunt goes back to tracking for the minimum of Tracking steps more steps.
A catch records a size and a weight, each its average × a uniform factor from 0.5 + L ÷ 100 to 1.3 + L ÷ 100 at journal level L. The stat percentage is the mean of the two factors.
Each Products entry that succeeds pays max(1, quantity × stat percentage), doubled with Output Doubling Chance and again for a rare species, rounded down; a rare species adds its extra products.
The catch pays XP × stat percentage, and the journal gains the animal's trapping XP.
The catch grade is P from 1.499, S+ from 1.4, S from 1.3, A from 1.15, B from 1, C from 0.8, D from 0.6 and E from 0.505 stat percentage.

Game messages

Hunting stopped due to no traps left in Bank.: After a catch or an escape none of the selected trap is left. The game first switches to another trap in the bank that fits the animal; when there is none, Hunting stops.
You have run out of bait!: Baiting is on and the last of the animal's preferred bait leaves the bank. The bait's bonuses stop and the hunt goes on without them.
No Trap selected! A Trap is required to Hunt.: No trap is selected for an animal that needs one. Hunting cannot start.
Not enough Traps in Bank.: The selected trap is not in the bank. Hunting cannot start.
Animal Levels increase the average Skill XP & Item quantity output.: Beside an animal's journal level. A higher journal level raises the size and weight drawn for each catch, and their stat percentage scales the catch's XP and products.
This Animal does not like Bait.: The bait option of an animal without a preferred bait. Baiting does nothing for it.
