Sheep/Lamb for Meat too

[brucelau1977]

How i wish i could slaughter my sheeps and lamb for meat as my farm are overpopulated by sheeps and lambs

or Goats. I assume it's a design choice to purposely harvest goat hides but discard all the meat, but i think it's a bit silly given the price for goat sheds.

As for your excess sheepies, you can export them away for cold hard cash at least.

Yes! goats and sheep both need a meat and milk/cheese option. Also a huge chicken pen makes like 3 eggs lol. The productivity of chickens need to go up. Vegetables seems to be working pretty well though.

yes , I have currently 1200 and they don't stop multiplying while my people are starving

[stinkee]

if you have that many sheep, export them at livestock trading post... surely you will be able to buy yourself some food

[stinkee]

but i agree i want to slaughter them for meat

100 % the goats / sheep should give meat as well.

doesn't matter if you can get meat/milk/cheese from goats/lambs as it would only be another food source that doesn't get distributed to all homes
I'm getting fed up with trying to figure out the market/supply situation
I've tried all sorts of solutions recommended on here and still struggle to supply all homes despite having tons of food and I've read different opinions on how they work.
PLEASE CAN THE DEV CLARIFY ONCE AND FOR ALL

I was having issues with markets but currently have 1 market with 20 stalls supplying 164 families with 100% coverage, and no signs of slowing down.

The trick was (stolen from a chap on Reddit) to build your market stall kind of small, say 6 stalls to start with. Then you check the stalls' "People" tab, with the aim of the game being to have only granary / storehouse workers running stalls.

If, for example, your firewood cutter is selling firewood via a stall, he's got to juggle both jobs and will be very slow to deliver firewood. What you would do in that situation is un-employ the firewood cutter while making sure you have a worker in a storehouse who is free to take that stall. As soon as the storehouse worker takes over the stall, re-employ the firewood cutter.

As you get more houses you might want to make the market bigger by four stalls at a time. The closest homes get supplied in full first, and then they work their way out, so there's a certain distance limit that applies I'd guess.

If you make bakers / cobblers etc, they can set up stalls too and I don't know a way to prevent them from doing so, except just waiting until the market is full before upgrading the houses to artisans.

Should also be able to make cider out of apples :)

It seems like a bunch of stuff was turned off prior to Early Access release. I guess mainly for balance - the way the game currently is having easy access to goat/sheep meat (and pigs, cows, etc., assuming they will get added) would throw the balance. So there'd need to be some way to stagger access to those other animals, including goats, maybe also add milking parlour and slaughterhouse or something to make it harder to get access to additional sources of food.
