Ok I am just posting a quick update this morning, it seems too many people are struggling to get started and starving to do death in the very beginning.
I have changed the way the gather station works so you can now choose what to gather, now I think this will make it too easy initially but once we add the next few additions I believe we can balance this out again without overly punishing the players.
The butcher station was previously used for butchering the carcasses but atm it does not do anything, so when it loads in with the hammer on it does not matter, as you cannot click on it.
It will be put into use shortly.
Try this version of the gather station, hopefully it will be more to your liking.
