Automate hunting animals as a drafted group! Great for taking down dangerous prey or simply hunting more efficiently.
Heavily inspired by Hunting Squad
Consider this to be in beta at the moment, as it is a new and may have bugs. Please report any issues you encounter.
How to use:
- Place a 'Group Hunting spot' to act as a command center.
- Go to work tab, and select which colonists should be used for group hunting. (Priority does not matter)
- Select any animal on the map or the wildlife tab and tag it for group hunting.
- If "Auto-start hunts" is enabled, a hunt will just start. Otherwise, you can select the group hunting spot and click "Start Group Hunt" to start a hunt.
Then what happens?
- A hunt drafts group hunters(assigned in work tab) and positions them for a coordinated ambush. This excludes colonists unfit for hunting(not in need of medical rest, mental breakdown, or doing important work)
- Optional: You can undraft any hunter you want to make them leave the current hunt.
- Hunters will intelligently kite threats(if they use a ranged weapon) by any hostiles if they are attacked during a hunt.
- A hunt ends when the target is dead AND there are no hostiles left on the map(for revenge animals), or if you manually undraft everyone before that.
- Hunters will automatically undraft after a successful hunt.
Optional features:
- Auto-tag predators.
- Auto-start hunts instantly after something is tagged to be hunted.
- Set hunt target corpses to 'allowed' after a successful hunt. This also marks them as "haul urgently" if allow tool mod is used.
- Has mod options for a few more advanced settings (minimum movement speed, configurable safe distance, allow/disallow melee hunters, extra friendly fire avoidance, min/max hunters auto-drafted, respect sleep/recreation schedule, and more)
How I personally use it:
1. Every optional feature enabled as a pre-emptive defense system against predators.
2. When low on meat in the freezer, select a group of animals and just let them "bulk hunt". Undraft anyone who's about to break or are injured.
