The forager hut is a gathering building used to collect berries from the region's berry deposit. It can be upgraded to have an herb garden that allows workers to pick herbs when fully grown.

Use

Upon placement, the forager hut will require 1 timber to be constructed. Once fully built, families can be assigned to work in it. The family members will arrive at the hut and either begin picking berries, pick herbs (if the hut has been upgraded to have a garden), set up a food stall at a marketplace, or transport berries to said stall.

Each region only has one berry deposit which grows in the spring and loses its berries in the winter. In order to pick berries, a worker must grab a basket and head over to the deposit. There they can pick the berries from a bush and return to deposit the berries into the hut's pantry. Workers will not be able to pick any berries once the deposit has run out or the season changes to winter and will be left without any work to do. When there is no work available, workers will stand around and wait, and a blue question mark icon will appear in the top bar.

Upgrades

Herb garden

The herb garden requires 2 planks and 25 regional wealth to construct. Upon construction, workers will now be able to pick herbs once fully grown in addition to picking berries.
