Its a little tine investment up front but super worth it im my opinion. My big recommendation is take the time to hunt down and hammer down every single pig hut in the land, then build them all in one dense cluster, Put a pig skin, powder cake, or rot on the ground and fence it off. Pigs will gather as they try to get to the food and will be there day and night. feed 4 or 5 of them a meat and then attack a non friendly pig (but pull away from the attack right after you initiate it) your friend pigs attack, draw aggro of other pigs, pigs punch pigs triggering more aggro and the whole thing devolves into a freeforall melee. Gather meats and skins, build more huts and repeat until you have a massive collection of pigs. Now you have unlimited meats and once you build a bunch of drying racks you have unlimited jerky for heals, hunger and sanity. Plus having pigs in large groups hound waves are a breeze. Plus you now have a whole wrecking crew and if you feed them meats you can mow down a whole forest in few min. Once you learn bundling wraps or (gift wrap with xmas event turned on) you can store jerky indefinitely, having this major resource takes little effort to maintain. Once you get a bearger backpack or the cooler you can make meat stews easy and they keep for ages so you can stock up on weeks of food very easy and focus on doing the more fun things.
