Now, I assume there is a plan for all the critters roaming around, so I'm not really looking to get anything added with them. What I would like though, it so maybe designate a few people to go out and deliver a little frontier justice to our furry friends in the form of the bullet handshake.
I definitely think hunting would be a great addition. That and herding. Maybe you have to kidnap some babe muffalos and have a prebuilt enclosure for them.
If I'm not mistaken, Tynan has said animal farming will be an early addition to the game.
As far as the frontier justice part, just turn a group into militia, right click and "hunt" away, it's possible currently. ;D
