Bearger on First autumn

[Botaxalim]

Make bearger spawn on start season ,at least for default setting, hibernation vest is crucial for winter

Because its takes to much time waiting a year for boss to spawn

Start season is really easy, there is not enough danger beside hound. and bearger is not really hostile like Goose

So in my opinion bearger at start is not really a prob

Puffy vest and beefalo hat are just as warm as it, but don't provide the minor hunger buff, and you can get several Tams for the sanity.  It's not hard to get food in winter; just rely on meats instead of plant matter.  Spiders, bunnies, and kolafants will sustain you quite well in the winter months.  

A single hibernation vest requires 8 hound's teeth, which are fairly difficult to get in the first season unless you camp the hound mounds.  If you gather 90 tufts for 3 thick furs, you need 24 hound's teeth. You'd also need at least 2 more teeth for a sewing kit; the hibernation vest decays quite quickly compared to cheaper clothing options. Tooth traps would really be a better use for these teeth, so you can make a trap pit before the hound attacks get too bad to handle on your own.

You could probably set Bearger to lots to get him in the 1st season, but he shouldn't be that way by default.  Bearger wandering into your base is quite annoying, esp. if you're not prepared to deal with him.  He'll also seek out any bases with bee boxes.

I'm pretty sure some of the thousand hardcore survival mods in the workplace does that already. 

Also, early established players might still encounter problems in winter even with a fancy start, I don't think adding the possibility of getting your food farm or even your entire base wrecked by bearger would be clever.

Although, the suggestion would sound better if it wasn't for the default settings

 

In sum, non-starter friendly and more like a preferential setting.
