How do you get food?

[Damo Martin]

I couldn't see a way to craft a spear early game? I struggled to get my followers to hunt animals because some just ran too far away
I'm guessing through fishing ?

You get food by gathering berries and mushrooms those are your early food.

then you make traps for small game. I usually make about 5 and check those every day.

Then you get a campfire so you can roast meat and mushrooms,

then you get a smoker so you can smoke meat and mushrooms.,

THEN you get a cauldron and you can make better foods.

eventually you unlock buildings trackers camp, hunters lodge etc.. and you can have them hunt.. but early game it is traps and you have to replenish them yourself until you get the trackers camp and assign someone as a hunter to gather the resources and replace the traps. There is no fishing in this game.. yet.

How do I find berries and mushrooms

Berries are on bushes you just pick them off. The bushes are a bit on the lighter green color. Mushrooms are white and just on the ground kinda in woods.

You have trappers use traps to hunt small game. Or you have hunters hunting larger prey with bow's. Get the game, and try for yourself.

Nothing.... Food items give you buff to health and stamina... If your companions run out of food they will stop take commands.

The better the food items you make the more health and stamina and lasting the food buffs is.

If you don't feed your people, their morale will drop. If it gets low enough they leave

So hunting inst a priority outside of morale ?

[tamu1997]

If they don't have decent food they won't survive a fight. It basically as important as armor
