[b]How to use:[/b]
[list]
[*] 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.
[/list]
[b]Then what happens?[/b]
[list]
[*] 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.
[/list]
[b]Optional features:[/b]
[list]
[*] 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)
[/list]
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.
