Hunters bring no food

[Ɣɪ¢♰ɪɱƧ]

Have like 3 hunter huts, one day they bring plenty, next day zero. It's been like 3 days with people dying of hunger because I get no food.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?
I'm at the very first mission.

Thanks in advance.

Did you try to trick the game by removing the hunters during the day to use them elsewhere ?
This used to work in the very early game but not enymore.
If you look at the efficiency of the building, you will see x% efficiency and the number of hunter working, or doing other things, like building, or sick, etc

I didnt notice that bug yet. And i think many of the bugs are subtle unless you know the game well you wont notice them soon. But the Automaton got stuck on Two Thumpers i built side by side close together. i built against a wall. and when it tried to recharge it got stuck. i think i had to dismantle one of the buildings. thats one bug i remember.

Thank you for your answer.

When I was in dire need of workers, I reduced the number of workers in one of the huts from 15 to 5 to get coal fast. But after that I put them back and built 2 more huts because I had a food shortage. After 3 days of getting no food I think last I checked I had one hut at 60% efficiency and the other to at 90-something percent. All three huts were fully manned during those 3 days and I got no raw food at all.

I spotted some people walking into the mountains at night (edge of the map), without any shift extension or anything like that (so it was time to go sleep).
I didn't have any building there or resources to gather either so I had no idea what they were doing so I just ignored it.
Could it be related?

my previous comment was just random.

Those people walking into the mountains are the hunters. I assume you built the huts for that.
Again about the people walking into the wall, those are the Hunters. That represents them going into a forest to hunt animals for food. and they will return later. if you built a Hunters Hunt , then you will see those people do that. thats normal behavior .


About your Original question about food supplies, im not sure. I always been low on food. Try building a extra hut or two and have it fully staffed. And maybe make a storage building and set it to food. Im New too. so im not totally sure yet.

If your people are starving, they will sometimes eat the raw food as it arrives, before it even has a chance to get cooked. if you have more than 60 people, your incoming food can disappear in a flash.

Indeed, hunters sleep during the day and go out at night. Taking out hunters from their job post, their little cooldown(unseen) resets and they wont get food until the next night. I assume that's the problem.

You will see them leaving to hunt at night.

Oh, so maybe it was the case that the food was gone before I could even notice. I'll have to restart and pay more attention then, because with so many people dying of hunger and getting sick I don't think I can come back from that.

Thanks for the answer.

If you have staff assigned to a cookhouse, and that cookhouse is at operational temperature, then people will stop eating raw food, even if it is not working hours.

Check the workers tab and make sure they are not in treatment. If in treatment, they will not be working. Also, if you move workers from a day job to the hunter evening job, they might need some sleep first. I had the same issue with the Huts, but once I moved to Flying Huts all was good.
