Moving Animals to Slaughterhouse

[danielb8047]

I have a Slaughterhouse set up with 4 workers and set to process cows, I have 3 small cowsheds with 4 cows each but it seems very random when Cows are sent to be processed. How are animals sent to slaughter? Is there a way to speed this up?

Thanks!

Once you set the animal to be slaughtered, a list of cowshed appears, you need to set the number of cows to remain in the cow sheds, the difference will go to slaughter.
Small cowsheds have max 4 cows, you would want to keep 2 for breeding while the other 2 go to slaughter house.
This is not viable. Cows would be your worst choice for slaughter. You would need large cowsheds and quite a few to keep it going, they breed very slowly.
I do a mix of goat and poultry and swap manually between the 2. Those breed pretty fast but you still need larger sheds and many.

I have 12 small farms for raising boars but my slaughter house remains empty and i don't know why. Any help would be great.

Choose boar to be slaughtered at the top right, then in the bottom part a list of all your boar farms appears, tick the square in front of each farm and enter the number of boars to be kept in the farm, every number of boars above that will go to slaughter.
One more thing, your farms have to be in range of the slaughterhouse.

Click on the slaughter house, assigned workers, change production to cow. tick on the building i want and set the amount of cow for each building. But it doesnt work. the warning still showing "not enough resources". Please help me

When setting the amount of cows, did you set the amount to remain in cow shed or amount to be slaughtered?
The first one "amount of cows to remain" is the right one.
Ex: you have 4 cows in your cow shed, you set amount in slaughterhouse to 2,
2 will go to slaughter and 2 remain in shed.
Do you have enough cow to supply the slaughterhouse?
Is your slaughterhouse processing cow when message appears? warning is for not enough cows to supply in near future.
Are your cow sheds in the slaughterhouse highlighted green? you need to tick them

If you got all this right it could be a bug, save and reload game to see if it makes a difference.
