1 slot used, no one working

[Vega]

I found something weird today. I went to the activities page and it was written that one of the resources slots was in use. However, no one was working outside. Something I don't know uses slots apart of people working on them? Bug?

(Damn it, now my stupid mind is imagining ladybugs farming spinaches... -.-)

A pack/herd of domesticated animals? They use slots, otherwise I can't imagine what it might be.

Bad news: limitations
Ok, everything looks cute, but as animals are quite powerful addition to Cantr gathering economy, they must be limited in some way to balance whole system.
Domesticated animals in packs use gathering slots
It also means pet animals (stored as individuals, not in packs) don't use any slot.

There's no hard limit on number of animals of every type (like it is for wild packs). Instead that x animals of a certain type will take 1 gathering slot. When they exceed that limit, they take 2 slots, if their number continues to grow above 2*x then can take third slot and so on.
In example, we have a pack of rabbits and we know that 12 rabbits take 1 slot. So 13 or 24 rabbits take 2 slots and 30 rabbits take 3 slots. Easy, isn't it?
There will definitely come the moment when you'll have to decide to let them grow and grow or rather spare some slots for the working people. Or maybe sell milk and buy materials in neighbouring settlement.

Most of "sheep-like" animals have pack size (number of animals which takes 1 digging slot) of 4. Most of "cattle-like" animals have pack size of 2. Chamois and mouflon are exceptions. Usually having only 1 animal in a pack isn't profitable if you want much milk/wool.

Aaaah! Okay.
To be honest with all that I understood that you used the slot when you were doing something with them, not just because. My mind is not working properly lately, I think...
Thanks
