The Huntsmen are a major part of the game and are an absolute necessity to be able to play. They are our workers and are required for working the factories to produce items needed for advancing in the game.
HUNTSMEN - BEGINNER'S GUIDE - PART 1
When you first begin to play you will have only 1 worker. His name is Clyde, and he does not require feeding to do small tasks. His tent is already built, and it isn’t until later in the game that it will need to be furnished.
Clyde cannot, however, do some things on his own and within a short time of playing you will be required to purchase a ‘Huntsmen’s Tent’ which comes with 2 additional workers to help. This will be a task that you will receive rewards for completing, so wait until you are asked to get one before doing so. DO NOT jump ahead and buy this too early nor buy more than 1. Resources are short early in the game and by following the quests, you will be able to progress quite easily. If you get impatient and rush ahead of the quests, you will find yourself unable to continue due to not having everything needed and not being able to produce them yourself! BE WARNED!!!
FIRST HUNTSMEN QUEST
GETTING STARTED
Once this quest appears for you, you will then buy your first Huntsmen's tent. It will not be completed, so you do not have the extra workers at this stage. You will notice Part 2 of this quest requires you to complete the tent, and once this is done, you will have 2 workers to help Clyde.
You can move the tent around at this stage because the huntsmen are not busy. Once they are doing something you cannot move the tent until they are finished.

BUILDING REQUIREMENTS
FINISHED TENT
To get your huntsmen to work for you, it is now necessary to complete the next quest that will appear, which is Feed the Huntsmen. There is a yellow arrow pointing at the ‘help’ button, which when clicked, will open the Feed Huntsmen Box. This is a popup that will appear from now on every time you need to feed them. By following the yellow arrows you can see there are 2 different options to give them food.
FEEDING WORKERS
The first food can be obtained by clicking on the food at the top, which is food you have stored in your warehouse. By using that food, it is taken from your own reserves and has to be replaced by making more. The second option is clicking on the food symbol below each of your friends icons showing at the lower part of the box. This food is free for you to use and once used is replenished automatically after 12 hours. I would recommend that from this stage on in the game that you choose the second option and use the free food. You will need your own stored food for other purposes. The free food does not come from your friends storage, so use it as needed. Once you click feed, you need to place the food so the huntsmen can eat. Once they are ready to work, the icon above them changes from food to a smiley face.
FED WORKERS
HOW TO FEED
You may have noticed an Upgrade Tent option in the feeding popup! DO NOT UPGRADE YET! There will be a quest soon enough requiring you to do this. When you get this quest it will guide you to that button.
READY TO WORK
QUEST
There are some items you will need to make that require more time than the 1 hr 20 mins that your workers can work. To Increase the length of time you can either (1) upgrade the tents or (2) feed them snacks.
(1) To Upgrade tents: There are 3 upgrades possible for the Huntsmen's tent. Each upgrade increases the time they can work! NOTE: It does not increase the number of workers.
HUNTSMEN - BEGINNER'S GUIDE - PART 2
(2) Feeding snacks: Feeding snacks are a temporary solution to increasing huntsmen's working time. This option can only be used once the huntsmen have been fed. There are 3 different snacks you can use and each of these need to be made in the summer kitchen. There is an option for 30 min snack, 1 hr picnic or 2 hr feast.
SNACK
+ 30min
PICNIC
+ 1 hour
FEAST
+ 2 hours
To feed these you will need to click on ‘Increase work time’ instead of ‘feed’ button on the popup that appears when you click on your worker or their tent. Select the snack you wish to use then place it on a clear area so your huntsmen can feed. Once the smiley faces appear over their head you can set them to work.
Remember this only increases their work time by the specific time designated by the treat for this feeding only, and workers will return to their normal work time once this has expired.
As your frontier grows you will need more workers and there is an option to purchase a Solid Huntsmen House for bucks. This house comes with 4 workers and each can work for 6 hours. It only needs 100 food to feed the workers, so is a good bargain if you can afford the real money to buy it.
