Animal Spawns & Repopulation

• Spawn rate: Each tick adds a random number of animals. Every phase raises the amount, and it follows the world's speed.
• Caps scale: An oasis's animal cap depends on its tier and grows with each server phase. It also follows the world's speed.

During the server's beginner protection, animal respawns are off so players can expand safely. Once it ends:

• Attack cooldown: Attacking an unoccupied oasis starts a hidden cooldown, refreshed by each new attack. No animals spawn until it expires. Scouting does not affect it.
• Inverse repopulation: Once the cooldown ends, the fewer animals remain, the faster they respawn. Regrowth slows as the oasis fills, so it levels off below its maximum.
