What would be great is if you could add a timer in the form or a horizontal bar that fills as items get built/made. For example a build bar in the Hunter cabin to know how long it takes to butcher meat, or in the smoker so we know when some smoked meat is about to become available. So when I see my smokers wandering around idle, I can check the hunter cabins and see that butchered meat is about to become available or I have to send my hunters out manually to gather more carcasses.
Knowing when items are about to be constructed would make it so much easier.
