Used to mark animals to be hunted by hunters. Animals have a chance to revenge when harmed (a notification will appear when marking for hunting), and, depending on the species, occasionally they will bring their entire pack with them![Detail Needed]

Hunters only hunt when equipped with a ranged weapon and when their Hunting task is active in the Work tab. Hunters are coded to shoot marked animals from a considerable distance to minimize the risk of injury should it try to revenge by turning manhunter. Thus, weapons with a long range, such as the Greatbow and Bolt-action rifle are the best hunting weapons, while short-range weapons like the Pump Shotgun are poor choices. [Fact check] The hunting stealth of the hunter directly scales the chance of manhunting.

You can select several animals for hunting by opening the Wildlife tab and dragging the mouse over the appropriate animals in the Mark animals column. This tab also shows the revenge chance for each animal, and has a special icon for predators. All wild animals on the current map are shown here, and if an animal is injured or downed it will be highlighted as such. It can be an easy way to get risk-free kills of predators that have been badly injured.

Once a hunter's target is downed, they will finish it off at point-blank range by cutting its throat.

Version history

As of version 0.14.1234 (15 July 2016) projectiles fired by hunting colonists no longer intercept random targets.
