If Marotters would have respawn mechanics, what about catcoons?

[Frosty_Mentos]

Maybe the least renewable creature after dens are destroyed and conservation methods of their dens can become often hopeless especially in public servers. Once they're gone they are kinda just gone. It's both a question and a suggestion if they could also make new dens in Autumn or something? Rather the dens would respawn and it's at PK and or second birch biome. If that won't be implemented, what is the game idea of that design of them being finite if not cared for?

The problem becomes when you want cat tails and can't gather anymore of them, meaning you're barred from certain crafting recipes forever.

Only other method of getting catcoons is the Junk Pile, but that's unreliable and very low chance. Unless we get added a new source of catcoon tails we don't get that much going otherwise. Catcap used to cost a lot of cat tails to craft the hat and it was the only way to duplicate catcoon tails to more, but it costs only one now.

Reducing costs of items doesn't make them less tedious make when the source is finite and can become extinct. While catcoons are good early good source - lategame they are more to be killed for getting table lamps. There's cat cap and cat'o'three tails, but one of them you only need to craft once and can repair while the weapon itself isn't that durable for the price it asks.

TL;DR Catcoons dens should be rebuilt on certain season or certain conditions if met in their respective biomes.

Actually, they already do that! In spring, if the dens are destroyed, they will “repair” themselves. I have a bunch of dens in my world I farm catcoons with and I haven’t had any of them be destroyed permanently, only temporarily.

The catcoon den after you kill catcoon 9 times gets abandoned which you probably know in ds it is empty forever but in dst the catcoon respawns and has 9 lives again but that feature has been in dst I think since the beginning but the if you hammer all the catcoon dens in the world they would be gone forever and not respawn that was the case until year of the catcoon which made them regrow

It was added exclusively during year of the Catcoon, it’s even mentioned in the patch notes! 
 

this thread can be locked now, silly op is asking for a feature that already exists!

(Volt Goats will now also respawn but you have to chase down a hunt trail in a rainstorm during spring that ends up ending in their biome)

I didn't knew that actually. It's getting harder and harder to keep track of things that are renewable and not anymore in the game with each changes... Obscure detail after obscure detail.
