Ptarmigans in Custom Survival fixed? Doesn't seem like it...

[GothSkunk]

After the release of v2.22 I created a custom game (Essentially Stalker with Interloper-level Needs, and health recovery set to the absolute minimum) and started a fresh new survivor. I'm now on day 33, and I've been all over Pleasant Valley, Coastal Highway, and Desolation Point, but I cannot recall seeing a Ptarmigan flock in any of my travels thus far.

 

Bad luck, do you think? Or genuinely a problem?

I have yet to see any in coastal or desolation point, and only a handful in pleasant valley..   but I'm on pilgrim so id expect more .. sounds like maybe youre just unlucky at the moment..    I have heard them in coastal,just not seen any,  have you heard them?

I haven't heard them at all in any region I've walked through thus far, in 34 in-game days. Bear in mind, I've only been in the three zones thus far. Timberwolf Mountain will be my next step... once the weather improves. XD

I found some just over the wooden bridge  near the crash site, so you could try hanging around there before heading to twm..
