Hunting

Hunting sends a pet into nearby territory to search for food and other useful resources. It is closer to home than long-distance scouting, but it is not risk-free.

What Hunting Can Find

• Meat, prey, and other biome-appropriate food.


• Tracks, signs of ecological pressure, and changes in local prey populations.


• Dangerous encounters, injuries, sickness, or rare fatal outcomes.

Ecology

Repeated hunting can reduce local resources. Scarcity, migration, weather, season, and predators can change what appears. A biome with healthy prey populations should feel different from one that has been picked clean.

Carrying Supplies

A hunter can only return with what fits in their pouch or bag. Found loot does not automatically spill into colony storage from several miles away through forest sorcery.

Familiarity

Hunting near the home biome can build familiarity and help maintain territory patrol activity.
