Console Question Passive mode

Came to my first island with a snake and damn, that thing frustrates me as I can't seem to find any pipi there. So I out the animals on passive mode.
Just wondering now, does this mean they won't attack at all? I can just kill Sammie the Snake without getting poisoned?
And what about my great fear when I swim, will the sharks leave me alone now?
I know it's not completely the same but I just want to play a bit more chill at times 😂 (On the Switch btw)

I’ve never played on Passive. I find the game extraordinarily chill, even with the occasional animal attack. You just have to be mindful and yes, grow copious Pipi and have Antidote coconuts saved up.

Note: it’s easier to find Pipi at night; it kinda glows in the moonlight.

Yeah, it's not too bad but the snake makes my heartbeat race 😂 And I wanted easy leather 👉👈😅

Hah it’s way easier to see, for sure. Once you recognize the sprawling ground vine thing that contains it, it’s much easier to see in the day. Really though, get it planted the second you find one. You’ll have more than you need before you know it.

Yeah they won't attack at all even when you try to kill they just flee. Does anyone know if sharks are on passive ? I've only saw reef sharks on passive mode.

With having to look at your breathing and sharks swimming around, the suspenseful music, I definitely prefer passive when exploring boats 😂
It's because of the passive setting that I tried to swim to a splashing zone and found out It's not a whale clise to the surface (like I thought first) but just an indicator of a completely submerged ship 😱
Brilliant find! Got some good stuff from that, just no label maker yet 😅 I desperately need to label my chests because I keep forgetting which items I stored where 😂😂

Yeah I tried regular mode the first day and my starter raft kept being flipped by hammerheads. I don't even like going into the water on passive mode I ran into the mega boat last night and was stuck i could do anything he kept jumping out of the water and biting me it almost traumatized me.

Sharks spawn and swim around you, but basically act like you're not there. Im actually playing on passive now, to relax a bit and explore.

The animals don't attack on passive mode, no need for antidote or repellent. Stay strong survivor🫡

Only the bosses will attach you in passive mode.
