Lock animals behind stats

+1 to all hunting nerfs

-1 to hunting nerfs that weren't thought through and are being supported by bitter sprucecaps that haven't killed anything past boar

If any change would make solo hermits unable to hunt them, that's a good change that brings the game to the "intended" state IMO.

sure, but that "any change" can have other drastic consequences packed alongside it. my point is that it would be nice if they got rid of various cheesing methods without adding stupid stuff like stat locked progression (I hate eating)

Eating is a colossal part of this game though? So i do think lots of thing should be locked behind it . .
I hate farming and would prefer all crops and fibres to grow in the wild. But i dont vouch for that, i just play with ppl who, for whatever reason, like to farm . .
I suggest finding a cook friend
