Bears still exists. But they spawn only in the winter biome. In the pine forest you currently have no predators.

Nope, I got killed twice by a zombie bear bear yesterday but I killed that mangy critter on the third attempt.
If you're looking for one in the forest you'll find it in the construction POI that has the cement mixer in front of the building and just the basement finished. It will be in the basement. have fun

Right. Yes, for clarification, any animal may appear in a POI regardless of biome if designed that way. Only wilderness spawns are changed to keep wolves and bears out of the forest. You can still find wolves in forest towns as random spawns. I haven't seen bears in forest towns as random spawns, though. Also, if you are near a biome border, you may see animals that were spawned in the nearby biome that wandered into your biome.
Oh, does that one still exist? I have only found the new construction sites so far.
Oh hey, what's in this cave? Gee, lot of dead bodies. Oh @%$#! Bear! Everyone should experience that at least once.
I have found wolves in some of the little forest grove POIs as well as one of the farms in a stall.
I'd much rather have wolves than zombie dogs, I @%$#ing hate them. At least wolves are meat.

Yes, I had forgotten about them. However, they are not really dangerous for the player. Rather annoying.
Yeah, I hate snakes. And crawlers. Spiders too. Especially spiders. Really I hate anything with an irregular hitbox.

One of my first playthroughs ever, I ran into one of those. Well they ran into me more like it. I was in a small town and saw them coming. Knowing I was going to die, I jumpped on a farm field fence post that happened to be near me. Figure try to atleast get a couple of clubs in. I crouched and odd enough, they flew right by...however, not before I left a small stain.

That's stupid. No wonder why lm looking around for them there has to be some risk in the forest
In fact it should have the most animals
Snakes, chickens, rabbits, deer, coyotes, wolf's, bears and mountain lions
Would at least add some danger. Forest is too easy.
Even if the hostile animals spawn at night
If they want a lower teir bear. Add a black bear.

The dog hordes and screamers that regularly visit me are risk enough for me. But it's probably only temporary. MadMole said that it is part of a long term rebalancing.
The most animals yes but not necessarily the most predators. In nature, you always have significantly more prey than predators.
Don't worry. I'm sure the Apocalypse Now mod for A21 will be released soon and Killerbunny will have more than enough ways to kill the player, even in the pine forest. And by the way I have heard that the Darkness Falls Mod Experimental should be released soon.

Sadly I'm not for mods. Cuz once it comes out on console I'm mostly going to play that. I don't have the time like I uses too.
And I want to play with people at work.

I think the wolf and the bear will return to the green biome. MadMole has written that it is part of a rebalancing. Therefore some back and forth is to be expected.
One problem in A20 was that you had too many wolves and bears and not enough deer. I guess they want to balance it so you have wolves and bears, but more deer than wolves and bears, so it feels more like a realistic ecosystem.
I don't really like most of the mods either. The only exception is Undead Legacy, which has not the goal to make the game harder, but more varied. Ironically, some call Undead Legacy hard. This is probably because in Undead Legacy you have to work for your resources and they are not handed to you.

Agreed there was too many.
They changed it so they spawn alot in the day and you would spawn and get mauled by a direwolf.
Then they made it so it's night only
Now they are gone.
And yeah deer should spawn alot more. Hogs as well.
The problem is more deer would give way too much food. I mean we only get a few meals out of large animal as it is now. I suppose they could go the route they took with the cloth and make recipes use much more but then increase the animal spawn and/or drop rate. That might not be a bad thing.

People are already complaining that deer are too abundant.
I think the deer are fine. I'd rather see more of the rare animals like rabbits and hogs. Meat is already too easy, so more large animals isn't the best option.
