Wouldn't worry about it.

Making a mod to change spawning rates and what spawns in the animal groups - piece of cake.

Making the mod in such a way that anyone can read my notes and make adjustments without messing anything up - huge challenge  😁

What? Comment code? I know crazy talk.

Seriously though, you've always been pretty good at explaining stuff.

 
Here is a simple modlet I made so people can adjust the animal spawning in game.  I added comments to hopefully help you navigate what you need to do to make the changes.  Loading the modlet as is will change the code, but it defaults right now to vanilla settings without any changes made by the user

I may get around doing a short video tutorial on how to use the mod (depends on how lazy I end up being)

No errors on loading (after I fixed them all 😁 ) and I ran a test where I added a 97% chance of spawning a zombie bear in the forest during the day

When it comes to meat - or food in general - I see no problem. It's a bit tight at the beginning, maybe even problematic, but once that's solved it stays solved.

And from my experience it's not so problematic that I'd have to resort to sneaking up on every living thing with a bow and arrow, i.e. something that's not fun for me. I just wait until I have my first pistol and comfortably shoot them to death. 

It's another matter with the world feeling lifeless. It does, a bit, but I like it that way. For me it adds to the atmosphere.

So my vote is no, animal spawns are not too low.

Yeah, I've noticed that. I struggle a bit first week, but once some wolves and bears start attacking you, it's solved. Eggs become the bottleneck for me then, because face it, grilled meat is too little bang for the buck.

I just started up on a 4k map and desert being right next door, the coyotes come and offer themselves up to be eaten on day 1, so I'm just biding my time til bacon n eggs recipe. Love them old sham sammiches (with a side of goldenrod).

Challenge accomplished. Not a Coder or Moder and for me, Mod is understandable. Thx.

 
I get most of my healing from meat or cans. There's always plenty

Only been the odd time I had to buy from vendors. Playing insane with axe as main weapon..
