Wildlife and food
Animal Meat
Meat supplies meals for travel and can be dried into a reserve that is easier to carry on later expeditions.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Animal Meat
Forest clearings and open forest edges where deer, rabbits, or other wildlife can be seen.
Before you go
- A bow, spear, or other usable hunting weapon.
- A fire for immediate cooking or a Drying Rack for storage.
- Inventory space to collect the meat.
Farming steps
- Look for wildlife in open clearings and forest edges where you can see a shot or approach.
- Use a bow, spear, or another weapon to hunt an animal you can safely reach.
- Collect the meat from the carcass and return to a prepared food station.
- Cook a portion at a fire when you need food for the current outing.
- Place spare meat on a Drying Rack to preserve it for later travel.
- Collect the dried pieces before leaving and keep them available for a cave or scouting run.
- Repeat the hunt when the rack reserve runs low.
- Dry extra meat after a successful hunt so your next expedition does not depend on finding wildlife en route.
- Keep a little inventory space free before hunting so the collected meat is not left behind.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeatable through surface hunting when wildlife is available; a particular hunt does not guarantee a specific animal or amount of meat.
Common mistakes
- Leaving raw meat uncooked or undried for a long trip: process it before departure.
- Overcooking meat on a fire: watch it and use the rack for longer storage.
- Chasing prey into an unsafe area: choose another visible target or return to camp.
When to stop or switch
Stop hunting when you have enough food for the next outing and a modest dried reserve on the rack.
