I wasn’t hiding or anything. And I hadn’t been on the map for too long. A decent time, but not forever. And finally, after exploring more and discovering more islands outside of the one I started on that play-thru, I would say that the original island I started on was TINY. So I am guessing that probably had something to do with it. But yeah, It was crazy. I was used to fighting pretty frequently the whole time I was playing, but it just got quite insane there for a bit. After I finially cleared out the baddies, while looking around, I found that there was just as many “peaceful” mobs (rabbits and chickens). There were probably about 10 or 12 total between the two of them. I finished cleaning it all up before nightfall again (just barely) and I haven’t had that serious of a monster infestation since, but I did high tail it to a different island. So we’ll see what it’s like when I go back to the original one. lol
Also, thanks super much for the bow tutorial. I always kinda thought maybe that’s how it was done, but I didn’t want to test it out and then be 1 square closer to a scary monster! lol
