how is hunting the main way to live and survive in this era not implemented yet especially with the price of a game full of content ?

Prehistoric "town" management without food? How can hunting not be in? Just eating berries?

Wait, from the FAQ:
"THIS ITEM WILL NOT INCLUDE HUNTING PARTIES YET."

So how do you hunt them?

When will this be implemented?

Setting the price is up to the devs

Can you give a less ambigious reply? February? Summer?
Hunting without hunting parties feels incomplete. When will the full promised feature be in, considering it seems to be the main focus right now (top of roadmap)?

First slice of hunting will include only herbivores in the local map and its life cycle. You can scavenge resources in the dead animals. Then we will develop first slice in the next main feature.

Again: when?

Roadmaps are not for "stuff I'd like to do one day, maybe", it's to clearly specify all features and their timeline

Don't waste your time. You won't get a straight answer.

It's better to just come back a year or two from now to see if any significant progress has been made by then.

My thoughts too. Very unprofessional.

Its like paying for a Mustang, and getting a Tempo with racing stripes glued to it.

So once you have animals in the game that can be scavenged from, you're going to start working on the JOBS feature?

Scavenging isn't hunting, so I think that maybe that should have been more clear. When you say hunting, everyone thinks of tribe people chasing animals with weapons.

one of the basic rules of business is to have a timeline for projects. People work more efficiently and with more urgency when you have expectations. This is a fun outline but it's meaningless since there's no definition and no dates. Some of these items look very time consuming to do


The timeline they gave was 1 - 2 years for the whole deal. It's too difficult to estimate how long each individual item will take. Would the developers use some kind of mathematical formula?

yes but whether the game lives or not is up to us ..... no hunting in a game about hunter/gatherers a shady looking roadmap people being banned off forums for asking questions .the lack of content with that price on top is the reason there isnt even 2000 players

Yes it was 2 years 2 years ago too. The tasks should absolutely have a timeline. If you know how to do each task then why not say a month for this and 2 months for that?
remember it took them 3 years to give you what you have now which is essentially a bare demo or proof of concept there is no way that even half of that "roadmap" will be done
