Sea of Thieves Map and Animal Info - Requesting Community Help!

@melarn

They have a LARGE respawn Timer. They always spawn same island, you can Clean them out, and they wont respawn for 30+ min.

@melarn

Were all lvl 15 now, and the animals all spawn in the same islands I've marked. If you wait around the other animals will spawn. Shipwreck Cove for instance, always has pigs and chickens all the time, if you just wait a bit, they do spawn. We had to wait a few min for some chickens once, but every island we've gone to always have same type of animals spawn at it.

@daphonic
The animal locations are random!
It appears different from session to session. My 1st play through with the MA, there were no animals at all on Devils Ridge or Snake Island. The 2nd time, there were pigs on Snake Island & Devils Ridge was packed with both chickens & pigs.

@logansdadtoo

Every session we've played have all been the same so far.

thank you for your work to creating that list

No problem, love doing stuff like this, Will be adding more and more info.

7 out of 66 Maps Done.

@daphonic
Then you must've been lucky.
Have checked again today & now Lone Cove was totally devoid of wildlife! Spawned in, sailed straight there & there were no animals at all. Spent 20mins there & absolutely nothing at all!! So they definitely aren't the same from session to session!
I don't think Rare would make it so they spawn in the same place to prevent people from making maps & guides, therefore taking all the fun out of the quests.

@logansdadtoo

just because it's devoid doesn't mean they don't spawn there. We reset our game multi times, and all the same animals do indeed spawn on the same islands. Depending if they have been farmed already who knows.

16 out of 66+ Maps Done (Not all Photoshoped Perfect yet)
11 out of 66 Islands put on Map

Updated what I have done so far.

@aspr7n

HAHAHAH no they arent' The Islands are always the same in my 50+ game plays they are always same location.

@daphonic is this really working?

yes it was. The Animals are not Random. We played 12+ hours and verified, they are always on the same island. They just might be dead or farmed out, and they always come back.

I started writing down what animals I came across when doing quests, but I was finding it was different every time id go back to the same islands so decided not to bother.

Maybe i was lucky/unlucky with spawns or what but did seem random to me and another negative towards doing merchant quests which I thought was a shame

yea, we thought so too, but it seems like you can farm out the animals, or they just despawn when no ship is near, and respawn when a ship gets close. We found if you leave and come back after a few min, the spawns change. But the Islands will always have the same type of Animals on them.

@daphonic
The islands have moved & the animal spawns are random, but you won't listen, so i don't know why i'm even bothering!

@daphonic
Just out of curiosity, how many times in your 12+ hours did you quit the server & restart??

at least 6 or so, when we drop crew and gain crew, we try to never get caught with randoms.

@daphonic i also experienced it myself. dagger tooth outpost was left top corner of the map but after i restart the game it was bottom center of the map. It's not a fact because you were inobservant or lucky. just check some screenshots and videos on the internet.

for those who really care; i believe that islands are placed in groups and group's coordinates can change server by server.

if that's true that is nuts..... I'm also curious if they maybe have 2-3 sets of maps then? In every beta i've played, we played 10-20 hours each one, and I've always had the same map. Even the wiki has the Same cords as i do.

I'm just very hesitant to agree with you, as I've never seen the islands in an different alignment, accept those 2 screenshots.

This may or may not be accurate. If it is, it might help with your animal locations.

Animal Locations - Sea of Thieves Guide - IGN

This guide will include information on where to find Chickens, Pigs, Snakes, and other animals needed for Merchant Alliance

Thank you, yea we verified everything during this beta so far.

@madscallion said in Sea of Thieves Map and Animal Info - Requesting Community Help!:

the screenshots are from the technical alpha ...

That's what I was thinking, because Everyone single person I talked to in our Discord all said the islands NEVER changed once. in the last 5 betas.

@musicmee said in Sea of Thieves Map and Animal Info - Requesting Community Help!:

@aspr7n Ahoy there!

Island locations ARE fixed and do not change per server or randomly. They have however over the course of development moved a few times while the map has grown and developed over time.

Thank you for confirming, I was starting to think i was crazy.
