Ladies, gents all the original,
I'd like advice in regard to maximising pigman efficiency. They're useful as guards, sources of meat, pigskin, manure, for sanity and as slaves, err, well-paid labour.
Typically, I get a few pighuts near a dense forest, then obtain monster meat from spiders (often with the help of the pigmen themselves), finally feed it to them and swing an axe to some tree (early in the morning since they stop chopping as soon as dusk hits). This lets me get much wood fast and without wasting several axes. I also farm sanity as they work and dig out stumps. As monster meat has 0.5 meatiness, one bribes them for half a day. It takes two days to feed them four in order to transform into a werepig for increased meat drops and a guaranteed pigskin. In addition leaving a stack of petals near a werepig forces it to make it all into manure. If I desperately need meat or skin and can't spend two days maximising the return for value of monster meat, I typically lure a pig onto a tooth trap or unleash allied ones onto vit.
The question is, what could be improved in this scheme? There must be something I'm missing. Whenever there is no friendly Wigfrid around, I need their skin for football helmets and piggybacks, not to mention umbrellas (you need time before gaining access to a raincoat). Thanks in advance for any advice on what to do with pigs.
Regards,
Arlesienne
