water beefalo

Guys, got a question on water beefalos.. Do they respawn when you kill them or are they forever gone? do they go into mating season? 

thanks

Hey @giodelmar I believe they do, but I haven't stayed around them long enough to prove it. Looking into the DLC files, they also have a herding system in place much like Beefalos do. If you're interested into looking at that, it's placed under Steam\SteamApps\common\dont_starve\data\DLC0002\scripts\prefabs called ox.lua for the Water Beefalos themselves and oxherd.lua that determines when it's time for them to reproduce.

I hope I looked at the files correctly but if not anyone else with better know-how feel free to correct me. I hope that helps, cheers.

Sorry for the misinformation. I didn't look into the files specifically and only figured since there was an oxherd.lua for ox.lua much like how there is a beefaloherd.lua for beefalo.lua. 

Thanks to _Q_ for the correction below.

There is no baby ox yet, and the whole periodic spawner seems to be commented out.

Not sure if it will spawn normal ox.
