Citizens are not collecting Meat from Hunters Cabin

Farthest Frontier Bug Reporting
1

Hello Team

I started playing the game before 2 days and i found out probably a bug ?
I am not sure if it is normal or a bug but i had over 230 Meat collected on Hunters Cabin and all of a sudden nobody of the 30+ laborers were collecting it and moving it to the Smokehouse and the whole village died in a row.
Is something i am doing wrong here or it is a bug in the game ?And the vilagers are not collecting for no reason the Food from Hunters Cabin?

Best regards

Laborers will not collect meat from hunting cabins. Laborers can carry products between storage facilities or pick them up from the ground.
Grocers (market workers) can deliver meat to markets from hunting cabins, forager’s huts, and fishing shacks.
Smokers will collect raw meat and fish and smoke them in their smokehouses.
Hunters will only drop off raw meat to warehouses if the hunting cabin’s capacity is exceeded, which rarely happens due to rapid spoilage.

So you need to have smokers which will do the collecting and smoking, and then will drop off smoked meat to the closest storages. Only after that laborers will deliver this meat to other storages to fit the configured storage limits if there are any.

Hello again

I think that the games needs something else that i don’t know how to do.
I started again from the beginning and i faced exactly the same issue…Everyone dies from food a little after i am upgrading to townhall 2…But with plenty of food in the hunters cabin useless…and 40+ laborers sitting there and doing nothing.Either it is a bug or i don’t know anything about this game after an amount of time already playing it…
The idea of the Grocers (market workers) didn’t work at all.I didn’t find anywhere this option to do it somehow…

You have a smokehouse? Storehouse and root cellar?

Yes i have all of them.
But the food is not transferred proportionally.To the root cellar for example…
After a period of time they just stop transferring the food.And specifically a little after townhall level 2 everyone dies shortly after…It looks like the aytomatic mechanics are only working for the townhall level 1 and not for townhall level 2 because i can see there is plenty of food in the hunters cabin sitting there…more than 200 meat wasted and the smokehouse next to it still waiting for somebody to transfer them and there are 40+ laborers sitting there doing nothing…Either a bug or i don’t know what to do…But there should be a hint from the game when this happens in case i am doing something wrong…

Post screen shots then we can help

Yes of course.

You can see in the images the Hunters Cabin full of meat and everything else empty…Plus 13 laborers sitting there doing nothing…And that was an automatic save i found…later on simply everyone dies from food without any option for me to do.

There is no meat in this Hunter Cabin.

The 30 meat is “items produced in the last year” summary. Above that is the items in its storage.

Hello Zentai

Sorry but i have small screen on my pc.
So in this picture these 230 meat is not pruduced at all ?
It means that i don’t have any food at all on the Hunters cabin?

Correct that is your yield per catch. To the right of that you have orangish nodes which mean they have not made a catch recently

Move your hunter circle around until you find more pray/deer

Ok thanks ROBO

Hi to add to above looks like you have 4 bakers. Unless you have flour these precious workers are doing nothing. To get flour you need to be producing grain from wheat or rye or buckwheat and milling it in a windmill. Shut the bakery and use these 4 workers as hunters or farm workers etc until you have flour production. You only have food for one month that is malnutrition level.

I’d suggest watching a letsplay of this game, that should give you an idea how a lot of things work

You misunderstand the role of laborers - it is not their job to move meat or fish, full stop.

FF transport is generally a “pull” model, a villager who needs something goes and gets it.

You’re imagining a “push” model where the existence of a resource, like meat in a hunter cabin, compels someone to go get it. That (generally) doesn’t happen in FF.

Certain jobs require meat and villagers in those jobs - and only those jobs - will go get meat from the hunter cabin:

  • smokehouse workers will fetch meat (and fish) to smoke
  • grocers (working in the market) will fetch meat to “stock the market” and then distribute it within the market service area (the circle).

If you don’t have any/enough smokehouses and you don’t have a market - with villagers assigned to them, having the building with no one working there is not enough - then the meat won’t be moved.

Hungry villagers will go to the nearest storage site that has food - e.g. root cellar, smokehouse - and sometimes to a hunter cabin, but as you’ve seen, you cannot rely on that.
