Hunting
« on: November 04, 2007, 11:55:00 am »

I'm on a map with no dangerous carp or elephants, just deer, hoary marmots, and the occasional bear, and hunting is much improved from the old version.  I've got 3 hunters out bringing in a good supply of meat and bones.  One complaint, a hunter whacked a deer with his axe, and it went flying down the ramp to the hill below, where it died.  Then he continued to hunt without bringing in the corpse.  There seem to be other cases that don't involve z levels, I think they bring home 70-80% of their kills (rough estimate).

I noticed this too, seems that if they get suddenly hungry, thirsty, or need to sleep, they completely forget about returning the kill.

Someone was also mentioning that any kills which fly back hunters seem to ignore for returning.
