Can't harvest snare trap, no freezer, but we're starving

I don't need to store the meat, I need to eat it!
Is there something I've overlooked? I'm new.

You must have the freezer store the meat and the oven to cook it ;)

But I suggest to go out and loot some food, it's easyer

I finally built a stove, but I still can't eat the damn rabbit! Why would I need a freezer to hack up an animal for immediate consumption?

its extremely idiotic to be honest.. as the game allows you to gorge on rations but not fresh meat without freezer :/ honestly i think being allowed to eat a caught rat or rabit (via the smaller trap) should be fine so long as you have a crappy stove. for the big traps and deer meat you should need a freezer. but rats atleast shouldnt need freezer.

What is fun is when a deer gets caught in the rabit trap >.>

Yeah, you end up getting 2 meat from a deer... IMO it shouldn't be able to be caught by the rabbit trap, just like the rabbit can't be caught by the deer trap...

Call me a spoiled over demanding gamer, but this is enough for me to stop playing. If they can't get such a basic thing right.. then it doesn't bode well for the rest.

The game was also made for consoles with console controllers, can't have them micromanaging too much! "Now i gotta choose between cooking it right now or putting it in the freezer? GAH!!!, why can't they just put it in the freezer automatically then I can cook it whenever i want?!" hehe

*I do think the first cooking thing that looks like a barrel top barbeque should require wood or charcoal to burn (there are matches in the game but I don't see any use for them yet). I think the game was released a little early because of console obligations. If meat can spoil in an uncooled freezer, it should also be fresh for a little while on a butchers slab or something.

IMO instead of bigger traps gaining more meat, they should be restricted to animal sizes and butchering tools should yield you more meat instead (ex: make that saw good for something besides wood). That way you could use fresh cut meat off the table, not using/cleaning it right away would increase dirty levels
