Very bugged

The Goose is an airborne, feathered animal which is found close to lakes. It is the only bird that lands on water, and the namesake of geese lake, southwest of the Sinkhole.

This animal suffers from significant technical issues and bugs, as of v1.09.

Gameplay[]

Geese can be seen flying between sources of water around the Peninsula. They fly at a high altitude, unlike most other birds in the game. Their flight behavior can make them difficult game to track and hunt.

Additionally, when they are in the water, if they are approached they will often swim away fast.

Geese can be killed with a single hit from any weapon, as well as by throwing small rocks.

Birdhouses do not attract geese.

Trivia[]

  • There is an idle animation featuring the player raising his hand to have a bird land on it. It flaps its wings several times before venturing back into the sky. Birds seen this way seem not to be killable, as they serve as decoration.
  • The geese in-game are Canada geese.

Known Bugs[]

  • It is very difficult to obtain a goose head from these animals.
  • If killed in water, the feathers will drop to the bottom of the water and they won't be obtainable.
  • If a goose is killed and its body is on land, it can be hit multiple times to get feathers. It is possible to get 20 feathers or more. Though this is unpredictable and doesn't always work.
  • A somewhat common glitch involves geese occasionally swimming in random places inland, and very rarely in the caves.
  • Goose sometimes swim through a rock and disappear when being approached.
