[REQUEST] Expanded Butchery #305

Open JohnnyJohnJohnson opened 4 days ago

JohnnyJohnJohnson commented 4 days ago

The Butcher is overworked and alone.

There are 150+ people during most rounds, and the Butcher cannot maintain a herd big enough to supply them all with meat. The Butcher is constantly overworked and needs some help to be re-balanced.

Describe the solution you'd like

Please increase the job slots for Butcher to 3 and expand the size of the Ranch to accommodate them. I also believe sheep and pigs should be given their own pens at the Ranch, sheep would be an excellent source of fabric when sheared and be as meaty as a goat. Pigs should reproduce faster than goats and be meatier than a goat when butchered. Also, apples and berries should work as feed for pigs, sheep, goats, and cows. Berries should work as feed for chickens. Currently, you can feed apples to goats by hand but they will not eat them from the ground. Also at times the livestock will die for various reasons before they can reproduce, I believe the Steward should be able to import livestock to help refill the Ranch's numbers if the only female or male animal dies.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Instead of one huge, big Ranch, there could be smaller Ranches close to eachother that hold pens for two types of animals each, but I don't think this is as good of an idea because there might not always be maxed out Butchers and the Butchers will have a hard time running across the street when a customer requests products from an animal they're not managing.

Additional context

I don't have any.

Personally, I don't think having more slots would mean people actaully go to the butcher. Butchers main weakness is how much they probably end up farming in order to feed their cattle. If farm had enough people that Butcher didn't need to help at all. Probably could easly handle killin all its cattle (just...avoid Saiga).

New animals def would need more space at the ranch, its cramped as it is. If I can hijack, I'd love a "Stake" or something to allow you to tie down animals espically if they're going to be butchered vs using a bed to get them to sit still.

A tying stake is a good idea, though the point of there being more Butcher slots is so the Butcher doesn't have to take care of several dozen animals all by himself. The Butcher's Ranch needs expansion no matter what since the pens are way too small as it is now, the cows all live in a 3x3 shed for Christ's sake.
