I think i know why workers do not hunt.

With several buildings you need to have the resource within 50 m. The problem is that buildings prevent spawning of animals within a certain range. I have tested this.

Seems this could be a catch 22 where the hunting lodge is basically preventing the ability for the hunter to find animals because its preventing spawns within a certain range.

Thoughts?

Mine is in the middle of village and not anywhere near the woods. I don't see her actively hunt but when I check the chest in the hunting lodge it keeps filling up with meat.

Does she just stand inside the lodge?

Inside, and occasionally stands around outside of it.

Ok maybe they just arent done with the ai for it then. Ill try that.

Just make sure to check the meat in the chest. I know it is getting filled up and I know that I'm not the one putting it there.

Yeah, pretty much all resource-generating professions seem to be working passively regardless of what the worker is doing (and where). There are no location-related restrictions to the Hunting Lodge as far as I know - mine work well regardless of the location and the hunter taking a nap in a nearby river.

The hunters don't need to physically find and kill animals, and I suspect they will never do that as it would actually be non-trivial to implement (and introduce a variety of annoying problems). I hope the devs at least make the hunters wander in the woods similar to woodcutters.

Do you have a knife and a spear or bow in the chest? The devs were supposed to have temporarily disabled this in one of the recent patches but it might be worth a shot.

What about the fishing lodge anyone get those to catch fish?

I believe you needed a knife in the chest to produce meat and leather before the tool requirements were temporarily disabled. The tools used this way seemed to run out pretty fast btw, just in case there's a dev reading this. Did you need to put in a new tool every day/season or did they just wear out really quickly, didn't notice.

Yes, my fisherman is catching fish but he's not bringing it to food storage so fish stays in his chest and I need to pick it up myself
Meat from hunters is ending in the food storage though and also furs go to resouce one

They didn't wear at all. I still have them in the chests. I do know that the more axes you put in the woodcutters chest, the bigger the pile of logs gets (before and after patch). Not sure what that means for production.
