| − | + | '''Hunt''' is an [[order]] used to mark wild [[animals]] to be automatically hunted and killed by [[Work#Hunt|hunters]]. Once a hunter's target is [[downed]], they will finish it off at point-blank range by cutting its throat. If a properly configured [[stockpile zone]] is present and has room, the hunter will then haul the [[corpse]] back before resuming hunting. These corpses can then be butchered by [[Work#Cook|cooks]] to yield [[meat]] and [[leather]], with type and quantity of both depending on the animal hunted. | |
Animals can be marked for hunting in the [[Work#Wildlife|Wildlife]] menu. Multiple animals can be selected clicking and dragging the mouse down the "Mark animals for Hunting" column. This tab also shows the revenge chance for each animal and has a special icon for [[Animals#Predation|predators]]. All wild animals on the current map are shown there. If an animal is injured or [[downed]], it will be highlighted as such. Such animals may be 'finished off' for easy meat. | Animals can be marked for hunting in the [[Work#Wildlife|Wildlife]] menu.
