Hunter not Hunting

[TheMantisman]

Hello

Noob player here, this is my first villager, everything I've read so far says 2 things about "Hunters not Hunting" and I feel like I am doing the right thing...

#1 - Stone Knives in Storage (I've put 10x in hunters house storage, 10x hunter shack storage & 10x resource storage, just too make sure they are in the "right" storage).

#2 - Assignment given, I have done this (Hunting Lodge Worker 1/2) and set the Goods Production to 100% Meat and it is highlighted green "Working".

#3 - Basic needs met (Food + Water + Firewood) in Hunters houses storage.

#4 - All of the "icons" under status show ' - ' (nothing red).

Why is my hunter just standing around and asking for a mission in emotes I have watched him for 2 days now do nothing?

Cheers

You will seldom see the hunter actually go hunting, that does not mean they are not producing. The only villagers who only produce when actually visibly doing the job are farmers.

Is meat appearing in the Food storage building?

I THINK meat is appearing because I'm not sure if I put that there or not I don't think I did cause I thought I cooked all my meat before I brought the hunter in as surplus so you're probably right will report back later if the meat goes up.

But none of the stone knives have gone down in the storage however I do see the Durability dropping from 40/40 I just thought that from what I read and heard online that they consume knives FAST.

Nah that must of been meat I put in the only thing I am seeing "happening" is the durability of the tool changing, no actual stock being placed by hunter in any storage (hunter/food/resource/home).

Ok I can confirm that he is indeed supplying meat because where there was none in there before there is 3 in there now.

At the very start, resource production (especially if you have a low skill laborer, like 1 or 2) is going to be fairly low. It scales progressively off the laborers you have working there, adding their skill level together the more/higher level you have. They will gain hunting fairly quickly compared to many other skills also.

Glad you solved the issue.

With the release of the new map, they changed meat a lot. Hunters get far less meat now, but it provides triple the food it used to. This means that the stone knives will not degrade as quickly as they used to, as they lose durability per meat harvested.
