raw meat/smoke huts

[JacEEEBABY]

trying to figure out where all my raw meet is going? it should be all going to my food storage but its not, i unchecked all other locations where raw meat is stored. and where is the best location to put the smoke huts?

Ideally, smokers should be close to firewood splitters, barns/hunters, and root cellars and not too far from houses.

if you haven't un checked in the market the grocer tends to take them, also random npc's will also pick up it to stock their home.

edit: as for the best placement for the smokers. i put them beside my hunter and fish huts, also keep a firewood splitter, and fletcher near by with the proper storage buildings (early game I use the wagon for this)

My guess, most of it rots, especially when it comes from barns in huge quantities, smokers can't keep up with the decay.

Then you don't have enough smokers, simple as that.

Best place is near your citie's workplace, near the woodsplitters close by rootcellars. Smokers walk to hunter huts and collect meat, if smoker can't then hunter himself will walk to it.

Never build smokers near hunters/fishers, they walk to city for: firewood, water(if none near), storing the cooked meat and restocking shelter errand. Meaning they will make atleast 4 trips back to the city, if you build it in your city they just walk 1 time to the hunter drastically reducing walk time and increasing work time. atleast 1 smoker per hunter/fisher and every piece of meat/fish will be smoked before it spoils.
