Well actually I do not think it's worth then, I remember first day I was starving for some time and it dmged 40 points and after 4 days only half is gone... I have content: 29% and food efficacy 90%
Starving only occurs when your energy is below 1000%. You lose HHP quickly over time then. It does not have anything to do with the 'starving' state when you get 300% food efficiacy. Also, it's probably not worth the wait; I keep my hunger bar between famished and hungry(200%-100%), and i can raise a few attributes every day without too much effort on making loads of food.

So I need to focus on UA, STR/AGI/CON and survival, right... ?I do not need exploration and anything else I think for such "job"?
You don't need exploration. Lots of survival, UA and a good axe for butchering is enough for a hunter, though it's efficient to level exploration and perception a little, so you see those rarer curios when hunting. For best leather you will need best animal nodes, good water and bark for tanning fluid and good boards for tanning tubs.
It's probably wiser to have a butchering character with lots of surv that doesn't leave your base, as hunters risk their life when doing their job. This way when your hunter dies you only have to make a new one and up his combat stats to get on track, and you don't suffer the quality loss.

Dex/perc/psyche, and farming/sewing/cooking makes a good farmer/cook/crafter. You will also need to up your carpentry if you're farming trees.

@Asgaroth22
Well I am kinda confused... So once again... : To get best animal stuff... My hunter needs only STR/AGI and UA to kill only animals, put them inventory and bring back to village and its his only job, yup?...

Then my second character: with high survival only and good stone axe/another sharp tool only to butcher it and this way I will get best bones, hide, entrails etc... ?
I can add a little of exploration to this character so he can be like butcher man mainly and do a little of exploring.

Then lets say third character 50% carpenty to get nice boards/block of wood used for tanning tubs and other wood item and rest 50% farming/cooking to farm trees/seeds/cook to get decent quality bark/branch as fuel in leather making

I am missing something in here?

Damn, all the formulas are kinda hard to understand... For example I am confused also about:
My main which have 21 int and 20 survival for example is doing the same stone axe Ql 10/10/10 as my fresh character with 15int/8 survival...
I know materials I've used matters which are both situations stone/bark QL-10 but it seems like int and survival doesn't affect stone axe quality at all because my main did stone axe QL 10/10/10 having higher int and survival than my fresh character which did same QL as my main... Confusing so much :P And because of that I am woried if it's worth putting numbers into farming, sewing and all that stuff if they do matter at the end... I've tried same thing with "Bonesaw" My main 21int/20 survi
bone ql10 and broough ql10 / my alt with 15int/8survival materials also QL10 and they both did bonesaw QL 10/10/10... My main should do a little higher because of bigger int and survival, hmmm... :/ ??

You could have only 2 characters, one combat char that will hunt, and explore (you would need to raise perc and explo for this), and another char for crafting everything, though making such character will require serious time investment, and losing it will bring you down to the bottom. I prefer to diversify the attributes between my characters: I have a main character that i play everyday, he is a hunter/explorer/miner(you need str for combat anyway)/smith and butcher. And i also have my crafter, that has farming, sewing, cooking, dex/perc/psyche and doubles up as a butcher with survival.

About the axe/saw, the quality of the final product is most often an average of its substrates, capped by given attributes. There are two types of caps, and you can read about them here: http://ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/Softcap, http://ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/Hardcap.
tldr; to get better axe you need better branch/stone, to craft better saw you need better bone/bough.

Thanks a lot of your time, now I am starting to understand these things... One of my last questions, stone axe goes to melee combat or unarmed combat?

Every edged weapon uses melee combat attribute when using moves like chop or cleave.

Which stat of grapes is most important when it comes to crafting vinegar (for rennet and then cheese), E/S or V ? Also, which stat should I be aiming for to craft some good pepper ? Thanks for any information.

That's the combat discovery icon. It can be blocked by any color and needs to penetrate defenses in order to get a combat discovery.
