[help] tribesmen huntere

Either I'm bad in factorio outa my tribesmen or they cant hunt.
Also why swaping work tools from containers is so hard to setup?
Very tedious.

yeah they cant hunt yet and it sucks. i remember an early demo you could set their behaviour to aggressive so they would attack everything in sight and you could set their collecting work to collect specific items rather than go logging or mining (which was tedious) so it was possible to set them to collect meat but they didnt actually skin the killed animals so it didnt work. in later betas and now there is no way to even set it up since you cant set collecting work to hunting and you cant set em to agressive anymore so even if you would get it done somehow with patroulling they still wouldnt be able to skin animals and gather the loot. but since your vagabond for example comes with a knife for skinning i would guess they just had trouble implementing it but will hopefully soon (and hopefully add agressive setting again too, and maybe the additional option to collect specific items when selecting logging or mining or whatever).

for the tools swapping, if you mean your tribemens tools that should be easy, you just set up a chest for tools and put some in and whenever a tool is broken they would take a new one from there. but what didnt work in the last beta and i didnt try yet in the release version was get broken tools repaired. since their discard broken tool option would just make em drop it in the wilds as soon as its broken rather then to put them in the chest or repair bench i couldnt use that option, and even if they would discard the broken tools where they belong they wouldnt get repaired since (at least in the last beta) when making a tribeman take care of the repair bench he didnt actually repair stuff but only take repaired stuff and put it in the chests and did not put broken stuff from a chest into the repair bench either, so i couldnt create a proper loop. so no idea yet if thats fixed now but if it was that would be the loop you're lookin for and thats not hard to set up then, if its not fixed yet use the tool chest part but do the repairs yourself when at some point there are no fresh tools left and they keep sitting at your campfire because of missing tools so you grab all their broken tools and repair em (the rest is done by tribemen automatically then). so hope that is fixed or gets fixed soon for proper loops for everything.
