Bears will pick Den sites that best satisfy their needs and are also away from the homestead as much as possible. (Usually near a river, berry bushes, or mushroom patches)
Dens with Bears inside will show up as hot on the temperature overlay.
If an occupied Bear Den is approached, the bear will emerge to defend it.
When Bears travel far from their dens to find food, they will return to the den area after their needs are fulfilled.
This means that the further from the Den, in the lower the bear activity is likely to be, but they can still be drawn by rotting garbage for example.
Increased the Smell range for Bears by 50% so they can detect rotten garbage etc. further from the den to go eat it.
Dens locations will be remembered by their owner, but once the owner dies, the Den will expire. A new Bear may move into the same spot though if it was a prime location.
A Den is destroyed when the Dead Tree above it is cut down.
When a Den is destroyed, the Bear will lose half of its territory bar but also max out its fight bar.
Since a Bear patrols the area around its den the most, it is likely a good idea to lure the bear away before trying to remove the Dead Tree to destroy the den.
Dens will also expire under circumstances that would make the den undesirable to the bear, this will lead to them seeking a new location as well.
Torches or buildings near the den, or it being in a location that the bear can no longer reach will make the den undesirable and it will be abandoned.
Bear Tuning:
Allow Bears is now a World Map Setting for New Game Startup so it is easier to find.
Bears are defaulted to off.
If a Bear's Story line concludes via events, or hunting, a repeat of that story element will now not happen for 5 years
Bears will not arrive until year 3 now.
Older saves will read whatever the Bear gameplay setting last was and apply it to the world map for newly loaded games.
Bears can still be turned on and off in Settings/Gameplay as well on a per World basis.
Other:
Changed many of the toggle buttons such that the entire toggle element will show the help text when moused over instead of just the small toggle box itself.
Clicking on the text will also toggle the button as well now.
Fixed Bees leaving node reservations behind when their tasks aborted and they were looking for a dead tree to inhabit.
