9.7 Hunters aren't producing tallow

Hides and meat are being produced by hunter shacks, but no tallow.

It is in the notes that they have removed tallow from the hunter’s lodges when traps are used (small animals). I have several normal hunters in my current town and they are producing tallow like normal. Even the lodges are producing if they also have a deer stick in their work area. I am definitely not producing as much tallow, though because I just had to buy it from the traders when I had been maintaining at a steady pace.

What so traps mean no tallow?

I think this is in response to the fact that we always have so much extra tallow, with little use for it all.

Hunters and forager shacks keep getting more nerfed all the time, and it’s screwing with my strategy. I just don’t see a need for all this rebalancing to the low end of item production.

Just have to start farming earlier I guess.

Seems strange. I get anything caught in traps might not, but if they’re killing deer as well that should still give you some tallow.

From the patch notes:

“Traps at Hunter Lodges no longer produce Tallow.”

I guess also Zantai thinks increasing yields from cattle and goats can/will make up for it.

“Increased Hides and Tallow produced by Cows and Goats.”

Get those barns going earlier I guess. :woman_shrugging:
