Animal traps

[Butcherer]

Just a thought.... I always leave at least 2 workers free for hunting and gathering but now I am in the Atomic Age (where build times are so much longer and resources easier to plunder) it would be nice to make better use of all my workers.

Perhaps we should have the facility to hunt and gather without using workers, for example by purchasing snares and traps for the animals. Not ones that you leave lying around because this could be abused by purchasing too many. Just select the animal that is on your base and have a new button to trap it. it might need to be prohibitively expensive to hunt hundreds of animals; for example the reward for hunting a bear is gold and it should cost say 100k food?

I dont know if doing exactly what you explained would work but I do agree with your overall idea of implementing some sort of animal trapping feature. Maybe some time of resource gathering building that you can activate to hunt a particular animal (bunny, fox, boar, bears) and then after it hunts the animals, there is a cool down period for the building before you can use it again.

The other suggestion I have seen is to have a pause function on a build. For example, if you have 4 workers occupied for 14 days upgrading a machine gun tower to level 4, they can take a 10 minute break once per day to go hunting, mining, or gathering. I would be OK with paying a few crowns each time I used this.

I'm not sure I'd want to have to use crowns to pause building time, but the general idea of being able to pause building time once a day for 10 mins or so, or even just one time per each upgrade, is a great idea.
