Hunting and storing meat

Select a wild animal and press Hunt. Give at least one settler Hunting labour. The order follows the animal, and the hunter uses their available combat equipment. Some older colonies were founded without hunting.

Carcasses, raw meat and dried meat all spoil. In warm storage a fresh carcass keeps for two days, raw meat for three, and dried meat for fourteen. Below ground or during Frost, freshness runs down at one third of the warm rate.

Check a pile’s remaining freshness before leaving it for later. The displayed time uses the conditions where that pile is lying. Moving it somewhere cold slows further spoilage.
