Got the same issue as Begal. Can't seem to be able to select bone arrows from this mod for my Bow with Combat Overhaul installed. Flint arrows work just fine.

I ran into a bug with either Fauna of the Stone Age: Casuariidae Plus and/or Fauna of the Stone Age: Dinornithiformes Plus, I can't be 100% certain which one but I'm pretty sure the bird I killed was a south island goose (from Dinornithiformes). I was unable to harvest the goose after picking it up and moving it to another spot to harvest on the ground, the model was incorrect (a drumstick name Anatidae which is from Casuariidae I presume?) and it just played the knife animation with no inventory opening up or model change. I'm pretty sure the model changed into that odd or incorrect looking drumstick immediately after picking it up after killing it.
Otherwise great mod, one little bit of feedback if I may suggest a small change though is that the flint hooks should be removed. They don't make any sense realistically because they'd be next to impossible to knap into that shape, and even if one could they'd simply break under the weight of a hanging carcass. I would just change that item in the primitive hook recipe to an antler or a horn.

I have a problem, i can't pick up any dead animals, even if i have a free backpack slot

Hello! I had some questions about smoking. Does it remove the advanced cooking satiety bonus from meats the same way pickling/curing them with salt does in base game? Does smoking meat and then curing it make it last longer than just curing it? Also, does the smoking meat in this mod interact with the cured meat in ancient tools, or the smoked meat in primitive Survival at all?

Thank you so much, this is an amazing mod! Definitely feels like it should be base game.

Sivothy I assume you already know that it only goes in the backpack slot. I really don't know what could cause that otherwise.

I am having an issue where I cannot pick up the butchering table at all

Having issues with Bone arrows from this mod. I have combat overhaul on for reference. For some reason when I go to select (in the selection menu) they do not appear in the list. Mod compat issue?

just wondering, is the primitive butchering table supposed to go in the backpack slot? mine keeps going in there and I cant seem to put it down on the ground. 

I have been ill for the past 2 month with a bad cough but I'm getting better so expect and update at some point.

SneakyDevil

I have no clue on that one, I don't touch base game rotting mechcanics.

CobaltTheProto

Need to use Strong Bones which occasionly drop from medium+ carcasses.

paulogabbi

While possible I want to keep it to buckets as it to me it feels more engaging to have to move buckets around to store blood.

Rimsire Mans_laughter

You most likely are suffering from bad rng and low animal weight as weight can lower drops up to 50%

Teax delphi

I have found the issue and will be fixed in the next update. Than you for the report.

Axebeard

It would require a bit of knowledge of JSON and how that works. It just needs time and patience.

DoctorRogue

Yes, traits work and apply to the drop rates along side the tables.

JohnyCy

I am working on that but have been ill for 2 months so haven't had time to work on it yet but will soon. (Maybe next update you might see some things for that)

Gabriel_Vk

I will double check it works and if so I will try to add it to the mod description.

Axebeard

Bears no longer give 4-6 hide but rather 1 that means it is highly likely not to drop when the bear has lower weight. Some one else by the name WolfricThorsson suggested below some other mods to help with that problem.

ironturnip

I will have to rewrite part of my code to fix that so it likely won't be changed for a while. Just be mindful when breaking hooks.

Had my worlds time paused and the forgot to unpause it, skinned a chicken, hung it, got confused as to why the timer wasnt progressing, broke the hook and got a chicken that was skinned but not bled. Now I have a chicken that i can't place back on a hook or do anything with. Is there a way to process it now, or do I just leave it to turn into rot?

Axebeard I think that's working as intended. I haven't played since April, but I was having the same issues back then, and there's been several updates released since.. so assuming that's the way it's meant to be. Personally I recommend using the mods "R.Meat" and "R.Permanent Skin" by LordOri - they're compatible with this mod and guarantee that the hide drops, as well as improving the drops for meat and fat.

Having the same issue as some other people, skinning a bear on a primitive hook is giving me no hide or whatever, and 1 fat. Butchering on the primitive table gives 6 bushmeat. Is it supposed to be that little?

Apparently theres a compatibility patch for machairodontinae in the mod compatibility folder but theres no mention here

Is this mod compatible with the expanded Foods mod?
I would love to play both. :)

Greatings Jonathan

Question:

Is the animal drop rates from the Hooks/Butchering Table static or dynamic? For example I am playing with one of the class mods (I think the one I have is like, barkeeper or something?) but it adds a trait that grants an additional bonus to harvested creatures at the cost of making it take much longer (which adds up quite fast when butchering multiple creatures).

With that said, is the 20% bonus from the actual Butchering table static (as in if I harvest it I will only ever get the 20% bonus), does it stack (for a total of 70% because the class gets an extra 50% harvest, or would it just use the higher bonus of 50%?

TLDR/EDIT: Basically do Traits that give more harvests work with the table?

I noticed this works with MOST mods I have (using all the prehistoric animal mods) but not with Fauna of the Stone Age: Machairodontinae, or any of the Legacy of the Phanerozoic mods. How difficult is it to patch in compatability?

I have the same problem as Rimsire. Skinning the creature on a hook gives me just 1 piece of fat and nothing else. Sometimes nothing at all.

Same problem with not finding ivory

Greetings, thanks for this great addition to the base game. 

2 things i noticed.

First after skinning and butchering around 100+ Boars, i did get not even one ivory drop. 

The only mod that changes animals behaviour are detailed animals.

Tested it a few times in a new sp world mit only butchering enabled with the same result.

The second thing, i would love to deactivate the strong bones. Bone arrows are a really nice thing but getting those mid/late game all the way just fills the bonemeal crates 

Best regards

I'm not getting hides from things I skin on the hook, is it bad rng that im just getting the fat? 3 boars and 2 foxes and no hides

CaptainOats thanks

is it possible to make barrels colect blood just like buckets ? 

I'm unabel to knap bones into anything even after setting it to true in the config, im on version 1.21.1 and using the mod version 1.10.6

Yay Senpai noticed me :D

Hey! Thanks for this mod. An odd behavior I noticed happening recently is blood in a barrel has an odd TTR - when in a bucket it's 70 days but when it's in a barrel it drops to 3 days.

CaptainOats  thank you very much absolutely love this mod

PureWinter

Thank you for continuing to play my mod aswell!

AbstrusiveChewi 

I am going to work on expanded foods compatibiltiy as they reach a more 'stable' version of that mod but I am in contact with the mod authors.

Daemonbot

In my development version I have combat overhaul now compatible so expect to see it in the future when I update the mod.

ahlwen DocDor

Mod works 100% with expanded foods just it currently doesn't use my meat in it's recipes but functions just fine (I will be working on that soon).

Tee_Executive

Yes but you would have to be able to read JSON fairly well. If you look at what's already within the mods files there you should be able to see how it all works.

Dishonored609

Ah that sounds like a vanilla issue that I might have to bring up as the backpacks use vanilla rendering.

Oviraptor

You are looking for the ModConfig folder within VintagestoryData which contains a file called ButcheringConfigV3.json

C:/Users/{YOURCOMPUTERUSERNAME}/AppData/Roaming/VintagestoryData/ModConfig is where I would find it on my pc

Open it up and change the false for BonePickaxeEnabled to true . Making sure to save the file and not be in your vintagestory world whle you change configs (won't break anything but won't apply either until reload).

If you are still struggling to find it you can press the "open mod folder" button within the vintage story client on the enabling mods screen. That should get you closer to the mod configs within your files.

Im not very tech savvy, took me awhile to even find what might be the right file but how do i enable the bone pickaxe?

Is this one compatible with Culinary Artillery and Expanded Foods? Really want to use both, when they update, but don't know if butchery will still work with them and really dont want to give it up

Lovely mod. Minor visual bug to report:

Wearing "Plain glasses" while wearing the "leather butchering bag" causes the leather part of the bag to become transparent (like glass).

is there a way to manually add more creatures 'cause there's a mod aka Feverstone Wilds that i'm using that I kinda wanna add those creatures to be able to be butchered as well

ahlwen works for me pookie

is this mod compatible with expanded foods? i would just check my self but dont want to risk it on my server and mess with peoples content

Really loving this mod. The in depth animal processing is a lot more immersive than vanilla and fits so well with the more in depth systems like metalworking.

Would it be possible to make the bone arrows compatible with Combat Overhaul?

First of all, the sheer aura of you for updating this mod so quickly for 1.21 is just chefs kiss.

+1 for compatibility with Expanded Foods? The idea of smoking, then dry aging meat to have the ultimate steak dinner is a nightly dream of mine 🙏

Thanks for continuing to update this amazing mod. <3

AncientWiserOne Thanks for that reply! worked like a charm! 
I'm hoping that wasn't clear from the documentation, and that it wasn't just me being an idiot haha! I wonder why it fills a backpack slot in the first place? why would i want to carry a table on my back haha

Hi, Aphaeleon it seems like it was an issue with one of the Floral Regions, I'd suggest downloading the newest update for them :) It started working after. I guess one of the tags for that mods conflicted with Butchering! 

Hope it helps!

@BrokenPanda64 have you made space for the table in one of your backpack slots? You have to drop a backpack or basket and let that get replaced by the table. If that's what you're doing though, I'm not sure what's causing it. 

Also getting this issue Delts

Sausages etc all no longer working after some other mod updates last night; not sure if there's an incompatibility issue.

Hello!

For some weird reason I can't clean the offal in my barrels full of water. Anyone know a fix?

Hey there!

Awesome mod CaptainOats!

I've Just discovered a nasty little bug where after staying up until 2am grinding for iron and crafting an advanced butcher table, the item won't add to my inventory, i dropped it onto the ground from the crafting menu, and it wont pick up from there either even though i have an empty inventory!

(also, anyone able to clue me in on how to spawn myself the item in the mean time? i didn't just spend 4 hours of my life on a thursday night for a ghost item on the floor LMAO)

hopefully this is an easy fix?
cheers mate!

I just updated to Butchering 1.10.10 and FotSA-Cervinae-v0.1.10 and it still doesn't let you butcher the Giant Deer. I haven't tested any other animals from the Cervinae mod.

@aMute018 well there's no point in using anything more than a primitive hook. just like in real life. games don't need me to work for anything for them to be fun. The vanilla game has very few things this unrealistic, and it tries to keep them to a minimum for a reason. There's a reason Tyron doesn't want to add a tier above steel.

two questions, first one, does the butcher blade make any difference when chopping the animal after bleeding or is it identical to the knife; second question, is this compatible with level up like it is with X-skills

Sourdough_Lover

You didn't suggest all that much. U just told the guy that his idea sucks and to fix it. "sorry if i come across as mean", right into "your system sucks, doesnt make any sense, i dont like it, get rid of it". Not much to really go off of. Plus, CaptainOats did answer your question, its a game, it needs things for you to work for. If you can get away with using a primitive hook all game whats the point in making anything higher than that. Just like not being able to smith bronze tools on a copper anvil, unrealistic, but the game forces you to progress and engage. Its not a system that's uncommon in Vintage Story, infact it fits right in. 

Coda_Vanistok what do you mean I didn't offer anything else. I offered a way to change the mechanic to be more realistic, and gave an explanation why the current way was bad, and it's really unrealistically punishing and needlessly complex rather than rewarding. He could also make that a toggle, when the toggle doesn't exist. What's your problem. I can't make a suggestion without people like you writing a million word essays? "I'm not mad" followed by "You're being disengenuous and it's grating" yeah whatever. Why do I have to conform to your reality. You're insanely grating to me actually. He moved the goalpost during our argument by saying "like I said it's a reward for reaching a milestone" when actually he never said that before that point. By definition that means he's moved the goal post. You can not refute that, otherwise you'd be denying our objective reality. Why is that so hard to understand.

CaptainOats Thank you! 

Sourdough_Lover

I'm not mad man, but you are missing a big point where suggestions and personal grievences disguised as critique aren't the same. You're not providing a suggestion, you disagreed with a property of the mod, but didn't offer anything else. You've well and gone past useful feedback to just being reactive to the mod maker not agreeing with you, or worse, being upset that he hasn't jumped through hoops to come up with a whole new system on his own just to make you happy.

You're being disengenuous, and it's grating. If you don't like the methods in which the mod progresses, go make a new mod, or commission a mod developer to help you get your idea across. You could at least provide some alternative idea that the developer can chew on and consider, but you've not done that.

No, he hasn't moved the goalposts, because it's not the mod developer's job to play your game. To get nit-picky, goalposts imply there's an argument of two points with a logical conclusion that can be made. Even if we used the two things he told you, he's not changed his intention to explain to you why the mod's made the way it is. You've not given him a goal to meet, you've gone just short of saying "Nuh-uh" and have expected him to somehow correct himself.

So if you don't like that the mod uses material progression to reward players with higher yields for better material investment, which is a core part of many mechanics to be found in Vintage Story anyway. What is your suggestion to change it? Trust me, we've heard that you dislike it, but now that you've stirred the pot to stand your ground. Get to the part where you offer something constructive, please.

doesn't work with medieval expansion anymore

to parrot a couple others, yeah the bone arrows can't be used with CO bows, but since they can be made into crude arrows without the fletching, I've just been doing that as a workaround

That one gripe aside, absolutely love this mod, it's become one of my mandatory installs <3

From feeding my friends sausage and using the blood dough for pies to hiding a strung-up corpse in their basements, it's a real treat.

@aMute018 are we not allowed to give suggestions to modders anymore?

Sourdough_Lover 

Mate, u gotta understand this guy's doing this for free based on HIS vision. Hes doing us a service, he doesnt have to make his mod the way you want it. Like they say, just hop into config files and play around with it man. No big deal.

@Coda_Vanistok why are you so mad? I just pointed out that he moved the goalpost. I didn't insult him. I'm not gonna let myself be bothered by you. And that config file fix doesnt solve the core issue. I want to engage with the mod, but I want to engage with it logically.

Sourdough_Lover

You know, I do kinda agree with you on the rates in which drops are affected, but I fixed it by just changing the config file so people who don't want to engage with the butchering mod for whatever reason still get vanilla rates.

Y'know, because I'm a mature adult that can understand what config files are for and can solve my own problems to have the best of both worlds, instead of questioning the mod itself in comments.

Also, Goalpost? Did you just get so upset you just setup a goalposts remark on the development of a mod you're not contributing to? Is this debate class? Is there a win condition for you? Yikes, maybe this mod's a little too mature for you to be using.

You didn't say that, you just moved the goalpost

Skiff1

Fixed in newest patch that I just put out

ShadowBinder

Should be fixed now

Sourdough_Lover

Like I said, it's more just a reward for reaching milestones within the game. You can see it as needless but many see it as a goal to work towards.

Nyxara

Fixed in new patch

Criticalhat

If you set the Butchering Reward section to 0's and also the Skinning Rewards then you would be getting as close to vanilla as you could get without also disableing blood etc

Best done through patch or if it's just personal use then modifing the files should get you the result you seek. Just don't upload a full version of the mod.

Love the butchering mechanics, though the extra food items conflict with what I'm trying to do with my current save. If I were to set the "butchering reward" section values to 0 would I need to make any other changes to get roughly vanilla outputs of meat/fat/hide?

For some reason I can't butcher the Rallidae Bird (don't remember exactly which one) from Fotsa:Dinornithiformes Plus. I put it on the hook and the knife makes the harvesting noise but nothing happens.

Alright found the issue with cervinae, the file references are wrong for mod ID which should be cervinae not cervidae and the reference to your own dead animal type should be butchering:deadcervini-*** not butchering:deadcervidae-***

that explanation doesnt make sense, people would still have to butcher throughout the game regardless of what age theyre in, this unrealism doesnt make people engage with it more, it just forces you to craft uneccessary stuff?

Cervinae still doesnt work with the current mods both being up to date

new problem with the moose getting me kicked from the server when butchering it on the table

edit; after reconecting the "leg" was still on the table but with the loot dropped on it

Zaeze

Not sure what was going on there as I couldn't find anything wrong in the files. Might of been some desync from server to client. If it happens again please do comment.

dUWUm

Should be fixed now.

Sourdough_Lover

It's not to everbodies taste, I do undestand but I have to 'gamify' the process a little to keep people motivated to engage with the mod over the progression of the game.

BleakBadly

Will try to work on that next update.

Fishi

Should be fixed now? If not send in another message.

Sydrinial Psyloh Skiff1 Setej

Should be fixed in new update. The breaking was due to the deer FOTSA mods updating to a new file structure (whch mirrors base game)

Azraile

I am now supporting the newer patch mod for the medieval expansion so you should be able to butcher them in the new update.

1stSlug

Most likely just me misstyping

Montcalm

The guide is out of date by now but it was more just referencing that cellars reduce spoil times (for newer players mostly).

ArmoredStone

 Most likely I won't do that as I would have to mess with ground storage code as you can place bowls in 4 parts of the block. Gets a bit more complex than a single bucket you see :P

xDant

Small animal rarely give hides base game anyway so I would hazard a guess you are just getting unlucky. Not much I can do about that.

Azraile

Puda deer give almost nothing base game. We are talking 1 meat 1 small hide and 0 fat base file numbers which are much lower in-game due to vanilla mechanics such as weight. 

I'm willing to bet that capreolinae things not working is because in the patch, the files it's pointing to are entities/land/[genus], when it should be entities/animal/mammal/hooved/[genus]

like other capreolinae isn't properly supported and skinning a mosse on a server cause the player to crash hopefully it can be resolve at some point mod is awesome tho 

I couldn't take a moose and a white-tail deer from FotSA :-/ Tried everything, but that's not working...

keep butchering ether Pudu deer or pampas deer... one of the tiny p-word deers and I never get anything but blood from skinning and tinny bones from butchering.... something wrong here, got the latest version

Skinning small animals like foxes and racoons is giving me NO skins :(

Loved the mod btw!! 

I would appreciate it if you let us collect blood with other containers than a bucket, if possible :) a vessel or bowl at least

the mod guide in the handbook mentions butchering functions better in a cellar. Does this mean it affects yields? If so, by how much?

CaptainOats

I've just noticed that you've got 'Fauna of the Stone Age: Rhinocerotidae' mentioned twice in the Mod Compatibility section/tab above.

Was there another FotSA compatibility and you overwrote it by accident, or is that a double entry?

yup something isn't working with midevil mod no cow butchering

mod is super fun, but seems Fauna of the Stone Age: Capreolinae no longers works with butchering. can't pick up the corpses with or without backpack.

CaptainOats I can confirm the problem @greatorder has with dead steppe lion (female) corpse not being able to be picked up, I just killed 2 of them and when they dropped dead they only have the normal knife butcher interaction and not the pick up prompt.

i cant seem to pickup bulls. im guessing thats a feature and not a bug?

bone arrows can not be used with combat overhaul unfortunately

sorry if i come across as mean but i dont like how butchering hooks affect yield, unrealistic and unnecessary, not everything needs to follow materials progression, it just makes the system more convoluted and needlessly complicated

Hey so in the compatability patches, in the one for the Fauna of the Stoneage: pantherinae mod, you actually misspell "panthera" as "panthra", when trying to reference the entity json files in the FotSa mod, so that the tigers and such cant actually be picked up or butchered.

Having a problem with trying to skin a Dinornithidae carcass in the latest patch (specifically, a South Island Giant Moa). Trying to skin it on a hook just results in endlessly performing the skinning action as long as I hold down RMB, but never actually skins it or drops anything.

Eione DramaticHotDog

Will change my patch for Aurochs to target the new patch mod for medieval expanded (as it was targeting the original mod)

Redbasho

This mod reduces loot you get from vanilla harvesting down to 50% but you can change the configs for a 'light mode' which is 80% (this is on par with the Primitive Butchering Table) but you won't get extra modded items from vanilla harvesting.

Tizzy

Yes the bonus/malus to animal harvesting from any classes is factored into the butchering process.

BullCityFats

I will look into this, do you know which mod the Greater Kudu is from?

IssKindred

Make sure you don't download througth the 1 click install and also when you backout of a world, close the game fully before going into another one as this game seems to not unload mods properly sometimes.

Tybaxel

That looks like a base game issue on your end as my mod only starts working once you pick up that creature into an empty backpack slot not before. What you are looking at is the vanilla dead creature.

Hi! Did you ever fix the white moose issue? The moose in my game have a broken white texture. I looked it up and found someone with the same issue in this thread.

So it doesn't fix that most meats give less saturation that hand of berries, makes no sense, I can eat cooked chicken for 3 days IRL

DramaticHotDog

If you are using MedievalExpansionPatch by Elocrypt (the continuation mod for ME), you'll need to make a small edit to pick up auroxen.

Go to your mods folder and finding the Butchering zip. Open it with 7zip.

Go to assets>butchering>patches>compatibility>medievalexpansion

There should be an aurochs.json in there. Open that up.

Everywhere it says "dependsOn": [ { "modid": "medievalexpansion" } ], change "medievalexpansion" to "medievalexpansionpatch".

Should be 7 entries overall. Happy butchering!

Can't pick up Aurochs cow/bull, I have space in butcher bag and bag slot.

When I unload the mod, I have to reinstall the entire game to get skinned animal drops again. Even in Worlds created without the mod. Skinning works while the mod is loaded.

(tested with deers)(1.10.8)

MegaBroBuster We also can't use bone arrows with any bows when using combat overhaul. 

I'm also having the game crash when I try to hand a dead female Greater Kudu on the hook.

Okay, after installing the latest patch the game doesn't crash, but when I hang the Kudu on the hook, I still have a Kudu in my inventory.

Does the +10% animal loot from hunter apply to the butchered mobs?  I'm having trouble finding info regarding this.  

yep its fixed in the newest patch, thank you!

Does this mod remove the ability to harvest animals normally like in vanilla? Or does it just add the ability to butcher alongside that? 

Eione im having a similar problem, when i try to put any bovine carcass on the hanger my game crashes completely.

tbh u pretty lucky cuz also when the game crashes some chunks might disappear :(

CaptainOats

I'm not sure if you have changed anything, but I just re-tested, exactly the way I did yesterday and it now works fine.

I went into creative, spawned live bears, killed them and then skinned them. Both today and yesterday I tested with just the two mods installed on a fresh game install. It works now, but it didn't yesterday.

i might have encountered a bug. but don't know if it's a conflict or actual bug. 

i can not pick up aurocks (from medieval expantion patch mod). Got empty slot for it. Also won't pick it up with a butchering bag.

Wondering if anyone has encountered this before (my modlist got a tad large i'm afraid lol)

LunaTheFox Plumeria plantcryptid Kwyl Sameal Rage4556 Akwuegbu

Applogies, it should be fixed in the new patch. Weekends are my busiest time and didn't get around to fixing it untill last night then fell asleep with the mod open ready to release the update :P

KohdiakK

Are you using bodies straight from the creative menu as you need to kill them in-world for the loot table to generate from their base files but if not I might have to check out CommonLib

Vexxev

This mod places a carcass on the table when you finish butchering a creature which can be manually broken for bones or place and butcher another carcass to have the bones break automaticly.

I am also having a game crash when attempting to put a horse (from Equus Horses) the onto a hook (in my case the advanced one)

I no longer get any tiems from skinning any animal. I have done a fresh install of the game and your mod, even running just the butchering mod on its own. No animal of any weight will drop skins, fat or sinew.

EDIT: CommonLib breaks the hook somehow, specifically for bears

Hiya Captain,

I've just crashed putting a dead horse on a copper hook 

For people having the CTD, quick workaround until there's a patch is to go into the zip file with 7-zip, go down the directory tree into shapes/creatures/modded/generichuge and rename huge-hanging.json to large-hanging.json.

hello! I just crashed from putting a dead deer on the primitive skinning hook, thought you should know:) !

Just confirming what everyone else is saying, it seems like any animal at random can cause a crash. I just had someone on my server crash from a vanilla goat so I suspect the issue isn't just because of the compatibility added on the most recent update. 

Looks like all large animals are immediately crashing it

CaptainOats

Crash from time to time without forgetting the bug still present of the table which does not allow to select or install it otherwise very good mod that I love, it offers a lot of realism exactly what I am looking for but as long as the bug preventing having a butcher's table is present it will remain to be rated.

Edit (23h:26) :

I take the liberty of republishing my comment, by doing a creative part to test more the bugs of the mod. The butcher's table doesn't seem to be buggy, for people who can't place the butcher's table or even get it back (I'm thinking especially of people new to the game). 😅

You couldn't get the table back if you didn't have a free bag slot and I mean a bag no inventory.

Thank you CaptainOats for that patience with our bu who are not necessarily 😘

Heyo, is there any way to get regular bones? With Expanded foods, bone broths kinda super important

Hey, so I'm using Equus Horses and just tried to put the dead "horse" on the wall hook, and got an immediate CTD. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Really appreciate your work on this mod, it's so much more fun to get meat this way!

CaptainOats I see. My perception must have been skewed by just getting lucky in vanilla 1.21 before I started modding it.

Anyway, thanks for adding compatibility for more FOTSA animals. I know integrations like these are a lot of extra work, so I really appreciate it. 

Raven0V Elijahgrimm Histrit SillyFox flakeinator

Bear no longer drop 3-5 Huge hide but rather 1 Hide this means add in animal weight which can lower drops by up to 50% (vanilla mechanic) the chance of it droping hide is a lot lower in this version of the game but has nothing to do with anything on Butchering's end.

As SillyFox found out bears only give a low amount of fat in vanilla anyway so that might be why you are perceiving lower amounts

I promise that I DO NOT set any vanilla values manually and what you get from butchering is about as close to vanilla (using copper table and hooks) as you can get code wise. Sometimes you will get nothing 5 times in a row but that is pure random chance for you.

I will try to lay out some info/maths on the mod page when I get chance that will try to show what I mean.

ToR_

This is most likely a combat overhaul compatibility issue that I will have to sort out.

Shuvi

It goes in a backpack slot as is written on the tool tip. Ctrl 1-4 to select then place with normal mouse button (This is the same as the vanilla skep).

Captin_Krunch

Sounds like another mod or the game has broken fat, I don't touch the item within the code at all so I highly doubt Butchering has effected it.

Qaimaq

That thought has come up but I would need to research how storage works on a ship/elk

Thank you for the compatibility update with FOTSA mods & Equus!

CaptainOats I just noticed the same issue as SillyFox with bears and hides last night when playing. I killed two bears and didn't get a single hide from them. I thought it was just me.

I do agree that 1-2 fat from a bear seems a bit low since we are talking about a bear. Maybe if it is winter I can see only 1-2 fat but it should be more for the other seasons.

Thank you for this amazing mod. 

Do you have plans to add some kind of a storage chest for the animal bodies? I often like to travel with the sailboat and want to bring back some meat back home

I can't seem to get fat to drop from butchered animals. it was working a few days ago but now fat isn't searchable in the guide book and I can't click on it from other entries(like clicking into it from prime meat).

@Shuvi do you have full backpack slots? I think the table use a backpack slot, at least I remember having this issue back then.

hey, i have a problem, i can't lift or put down the butcher table only even on creative.

I tried reinstalling the game and the mod...

Also noticed that bears and boars, but the rest of the animals as well, have low drop rates for hides and fat. Bears for example drop only 1-2 fat, which is way too little*. They also dont drop their hides half of the time. Hares didnt drop their hides at all for me. All of this despite using the advanced hooks, which give 120% drop rate.

Checked for mod coflict just in case, but this problem persists even if Butchering is the only mod thats loaded

*tested vanilla and apparently bears do only drop 1-2 fat (at least freshly spawned ones). My mistake

I would kill for a version of this that just made the mod content give you increased drops instead of reducing the drops from the vanilla method of butchering. seeing as the amount of mats you get from the vanilla method is already weirdly low from large animals.

Hi, trying this mod for the first time and really enjoying it.

Wild pigs  also don't drop hides

Hello! Awesome mod!

But i have same problem as  Elijahgrimm and Raven0V: Bears dont drop hides and fat

Is it problem with Wool mod? Or its just a bug?

quick unbalanced thing i found
the pampas deer, Good Weight is not giving more than the Low Weight
in both skinning and butchering

currently making admin shops on my server to build the economy
and noticed this detail while trying to see how much the dead corpses would sell for

edit: i noticed the same for the dead whitetail deers
(butchered 6 low and just now 3 Good weight, no pelt no fat compared to Low weight)
could it be that they are all switched rn? (Good>Low)
confirmed: bighorns as well

Hello, just to report a minor bug, in the Meat stew one of extra meat is in the wrong category (due to new egg slot in 1.21.x i suppose)

Screenshot from handbook (1.21.1 using Butchering 1.10.6)

ToR_ im using combat overhaul, and i also find that i cannot use bone arrows. MIGHT be related to that, might be a baseless conjecture, heres hoping this helps. 

Hi there!
We have this mod on a server and are experiencing issues with the bone arrows. For some reason, the bow types are not registering it as an acceptable source of ammo. I've tried testing with the following: Crude Bow, Longbow, Recurve Bow, & Simple Bow. Is there a configuration that I missed? Players can knap the bone arrowheads and craft the arrows just fine, but the problem stems from usage with bows. 

Any help is appreciated, ty! <3 

Bears don't seem to be dropping much in the way of fat, which is a bit nuts, and absolutely no hides. I'm using the copper skinning hook. I've noticed this for pigs as well they do not drop much, if any, fat compared to simply butchering them on the spot. If I'm not mistaken I'm supposed to get more rather than less?

hello, i have a problem

so, i have killed a few bears, put them on an advanced hook, but when i skin them they don't drop the hides

is this a bug? because it is really annoying that brown bears don't give the hides when you skin them

would it be possible for you to add support for using meteoric iron as a replacement for normal iron when making hooks or the advanced butchering table? 

Hi Captain Oats! I watched to reach out because the mods I have right now, there seems to be a conflict that is keeping the knife cutting animation from playing in Version 1.20.12 of the game. This happens when harvesting the skinned and deskinned variants of mobs. I think the modlist could be causing some issues, so I wanted to reach out and see what you thought.

Mulchbutler

Sadly when you have removed a animal from the hook before it's bled out completely it can't be put back on (will probably work on a fix in the future but not super high priority)

FulgurDeus

You do get the bonues from hunters and other classes if you butcher on the tables and hooks.

Dezdemona

Thank you and that should be fixed now as I removed that bit of code.

MrMelonMonkey

I have no clue what could be the issue please reinstall the mods and perhaps game?

Lucian_Fallen

I have put out a fix for this issue and will work on more compatibility in the future.

I've been having comp issue with Fauna of the Stone Age: Caninae, I keep getting infinite carcasses from dead caninaes and when I put them on a hook I gain nothing and I can't pick them up after they dired.

Maybe all Fauna of the Stone Age mods have this issue, maybe someone can help to fix this issue?

Also can someone make all animal Fauna of the Stone Age mods, Feverstone's Horses and Equus: Wild Horses compatible?

Rabbits drop charcoal when skinned on the hook instead of hide?
dont know if others are affected, foxes and deer seem fine so far.
maybe its to do with the wool mod but foxes drop the hide as well as the fleece.

I adore this mod, and frankly can't imagine the game without it. But, I've been having an issue that, admittedly, might just be me losing my mind, but whenever I butcher a creature specifically at the butcher table, my character will be stuck in the 'cutting' animation until I reload the game. Not entirely sure what is causing it, but butchering things outside of the bench doesn't seem to have this issue. If there is anything I can do to help track down the issue, please let me know. Modding is a bit of a foreign world to me, but I'd be a a hypocrite not to at least try to help.

Hello, I'm just wondering if the hunter class gathering bonus is compatible with the bonus from the tables and such?

I wait a french translation for this mods before try it.

Great mod! This is exactly what the vanilla game was missing. Thanks a ton for putting in the work!

Add blood wine, I need to make my friends think I'm a pycopath.

Can confirm "Fauna of the Stone Age: Bovinae" is INCOMPATIBLE. I understand it is not listed as compatible, but I wanted to mention it for anyone wondering. You can still butcher them like in vanilla.

It looks like someone on my server somehow managed to pick up a partially bled pig from a butchering hook. Not sure how!

Afterwards, we were unable to put the pig back on the hook or on the butchering table. Is this a known issue with a workaround? We were stuck with a skinned pig with no use.

Yelb Dolearon

I have a list of compatible mods on this mod page.

delphi

I will look into this. Thank you for your patience.

Ouran_OS

Sadly I would have to render more items (more computing power on your end) to make that level of distinction. This would heavly bloat out the mod.

rampage_

Sadly I recieve many complaints that people couldn't place normal bones on the ground (due to knapping) and no body seemed to come out in support of other options so that was my solution.

Loving the mod, cannot play without it.

However, I'm not sure if the addition of strong bones is necessary. While additions and small details are very appreciated, it creates a soft conflict with various mods, like Toolsmith (using base bones as handles) or various food expanders (bone broths, gelatins). In current state it has a lot of wasted potential, bordering on useless item.

the FOTSA animals do not appear compatible, no animal i have got will go into a butchering bag, and the meat haunches from the Caninae mod will go on a hook they break the hook and will not come off

Thank you for adding FOTSA animals! I can pick up many dogs, cats, and birds, but they all occupy the backpack slot despite many of them being quite small. I'll see if I can personally tweak it in the config/patch files but I feel like one should go over some of the animals to make sure the slots they occupy are appropriate

hay loving this mod on my solo run but the FOTSA canids  can be "picked up" over and over while leaving the corpse and the meat after the first piece is bugged so as to never finish bleeding out

Hello,

Almost all animals from FOTSA are not compatible, it seems.

I can pick some of them, some birds, a bear too, but the aurochs, tanuky, wolves and many others, not.

Coda_Vanistok

Will add it in next update if I am going to do so.

Zayrok

Are you right clicking with an open inventory slot or bag slot if it's a medium or bigger creature? You can use a butchering bag if you want to carry more in one bag slot.

Lhosson

Thank you very much! I will try to get the rest of them in at some point.

Mawcii

Working fine for me, make sure you are on the lastest version.

Integrate

That's already been fixed, please update your version to the lastest.

Hi theres an issue with trying to place bones on the ground in a pile. Your keybind for knapping bone tools overwrites this and you are entirely unable to place bones on the ground in pile like you would with rocks.

Do you NEED to use copper nails to make metal skinning hooks? Im trying to use tin bronze nails, but it doesnt work 

CaptainOats You sir, are a legend! Thank you for updating this for FOTSA  👍

CaptainOats

It's not an issue, there's just a recipe attribute for using nuggets in the forging recipe that needs to be added into the metal hook's anvil recipe, as well as the recycling recipe if you'd mind adding that the next time you push an update. It'll really help with Xskills forcing you to waste 16 bits of metal for 4 hooks.

https://github.com/jayugg/SmithingPlus/wiki/Compatibility-info-for-modders

Damage_Zedd

I only was able to get back what I had gotten compatibility with previuously so Bovine isn't on that list. I will work on that in the future.

JonN19

Thanks it took a bit of work but I'm glad to of gotten it out.

thanks for the update to have compat with FOTSA but ive noticed some are not working, bovine for instance is one that i have found so far.

Brilliant brilliant brilliant. Thanks for the massive amount of work with the update.

greatorder Mynxae B0bb0 MechaMaria64

I have made changes to the bones so you can now place them.

DonaldRTS Ortlife Lhosson

I have updated the mod with compatibility with FOTSA

Vargur

I sadly don't support the 1.20 version anymore. If the issue persists on the newest mod version then please get into contact again.

KeiroFyre

Not a bad idea but will have to think on it.

MrJewsbury

I most likely won't add mold for hooks

Roushk IncubusS

I don't touch the drops other than add my own to the list so you might be experinceing low weight animals or poor luck.

RJSlip

Bears now drop 1 or less pelts so you are most likely just getting unlucky

Cthugha

Will have a think about it but for game balance I will most likely keep it the same for now. Plus the game also requires metal for storage creation too so I don't feel too bad.

SkidInc

Most likely something on their end as I don't touch that mod with compatibility yet.

greatorder

Sounds like a small desync with the client and server. Are you sure what dropped stayed and wasn't a 'fake' item?

alberto_ascani

Might I ask what you mean by new skins?

Coda_Vanistok

I didn't know there was a issue?

CaptainOats 

Hey hey, can we please get a compatibilty patch built in for Smithing plus to allow us to smith the hooks? I'm working on one myself, but this feature is something that would be amazing and easy to add with a single Json file.

I really like this mod, also for the aesthetics it adds but the new skins are terrible hahahahha

Hi, Thanks for the great mod.  Latest version.  I cannot put bones on the ground.

Found a bug, I removed a deer carcass that hadn't finished exsanguinating from a hook and replaced it, and it regained its skin. Basically infinite hides/fat for knife durability.

I don't know which side is the issue here so I'm reporting it to both, but there some cross compatibility issue with Butchering and More Animals (More Animals claims compatibility with 1.21 Butchering), it's not causing any crashes or gameplay problems but it is flooding the client-main.log file on client start and server connect. The issue I'm more pointing out is there are 1000 log entries each time the mods load when there only need be 1 per animal that is missing an assist, see: https://pastebin.com/UPb8BBPq

Missed oppertunity to not have the classic roasted pig with an apple in its mouth.

Any chance of adding an earlier method for cleaning offal? I love most things about this mod but "in order to wash intestines, you must first invent metallurgy" is a bit silly. And even still, 24 hours seems like an awfully long soak time.

Roushk Mynxae RJSlip I just looked through the files, it seems like CaptainOats made it to where Butchering has unique rewards for using it's systems. The vanilla Drops are left alone, so Animals may still not drop any pelts when skinned. If you would like to boost the chances of getting items, the Config does have a Loot Multiplier option. I personally set mine to 1.5 and set Feild Harvesting to Light mode.

Im not getting any bear pelts. I get pelts from every other animal when skinning though.  Any one else?

Seconding what Roushk reported. Doesn't look like we are getting skins on the skinning hooks. Or is this user error and I missed something in the instructions. 

Thanks for the hardwork on this mod, its awesome!!

Is there any chance of a hotkey option being added so I can actually place bone piles? Was hoping to do so for the new Alpine Boneknapper dragons for Draconis (as they eat bones along with meat, and I have like 10 stacks of bones from this mod) and I can't 'cause it wants to knap them.. When in reality, I so rarely need to knap bones. :( Maybe a toggle in the config to turn off bone-knapping? 

CaptainOats Since the Fauna of the Stone Age is finally being updated to 1.21, can you please re-add support for them?

Just skinned a deer and a fox using a copper knife on bronze hooks, got no hide for either. Is this a bug or is this expected?

I'm trying to pick up a dead steppe lion from Fauna of the Stone Age: Patherinae, and meeting no success. Bag slot 4 is open, with me purposely removing the bag so I could pick it up, and no button or combination thereof seems to let me pick it up.

EDIT: Also the new bone stacks can't be made because shift-right clicking with a bone brings up the needle/arrowhead menu instead.

Not sure what's up with crafting the first metal butchery stuff with only copper materials (Plates for the table and copper nails for the hooks) and being able to make the rest out of other materials, I don't know if this is intentional but it's pretty annoying that I have to have copper laying about when I'm turning everything into bronze

Would appreciate it if sausages could be put on shelves in a future update. It's a bit odd that they can't be. I would also say that it feels like they go bad a little quickly, but that's a preference thing rather than any actual balance comment.

Gank

Thanks i figured it out. I wasn't complaining either fuck nuckle. I was asking for help because there are dozens upon dozens of comments to go through and I value my fking time so I asked for help and gave you a screenshot to make helping me easier.

Appreciate the help but don't be a bitch.

Any chance we can get a hook mold for smithing copper hooks quicker?

I had an idea for salted offal (Comes from Red Dead Redemption 2) Alongside other various smoked cuts. Like if you leave the smoked meat on long enough it turns into dried meat, or if we can add the cleaned offal to meals like haggis

CaptainOats I realize you are busy with this mod, so hope this doesn't come across in an irritating way - but I was wondering if you will be adding compatibility to the Fauna of the Stone Age modules once the team have finished updating them all for v1.21? The updates from that team are starting to flow now.

You mentioned to @Orflife that compatibility was currently out of the window due to the new changes. Is that going to significantly slow things down for butchering compatibility? Or is it semi-permanent?

I am only interested because your mod, and theirs, are incredibly important to my playthrough (similar to an essential Skyrim mod 😁). I'd class them as the top of the list for immersion in VS.

Thanks for all your effort and time! 👍

Seems I have a mod conflict that is preventing crafting the sausages. I can harvest offal and clean it, but when I go to craft sausage I can't get any output. I'm still playing on 1.20.12 - not seeing any mods I'm using mentioned here as incompatible.

Is that the type of compatibility issue that is resolved naturally by bringing it inline with the new standard or the kind that would require deliberate effort?

CaptainOatsThats unfortunate, maybe I can find a fix to allow a dedicated keybind to just place a pile

Ortlife

1.21 Changed how animals work so the author of Fauna of the Stone Age also refactored their mods to be inline with the new standard (or rather is going to) so all that compatibility is currently out of the window.

MechaMaria64

I am unable to code a solution easily as I am using the base game's knapping system and not a custom one. Probbaly will have to make a new item for boneknapping.

Tjoms

If you could send me a message on discord with your mod list or post it in a spoiler here in the comments I would appreciate it as I can't know what's causing that without knowing more.

DeathClawz

Will have a look to see how doable adding small bodies to your inventory would be instead of your hotbar.

Just a QOL idea if it's possible, idk anything about the game's code. Config settings to have small bodies picked up be added into your inventory instead of your hotbar, and another to add them to a butchering bag first or normal inventory slot first.

Cant seem to pick up any animals i kill, tried with baby pigs and foxes, which should fit in a backpack slot, but it wont work. Running current stable 1.21.1 and newest version of Butchering. Everything else shows up in the mod.

Minor complaint but bone knapping is conflicting with bone piles, making displaying piles of bones around your base currently impossible with the mod installed (also impacts early game a decent bit as the piles helped cut down on storage space usage a lot)

Also a suggestion, but changing the bone arrowheads to the new bone arrows for more compatibility with other mods that modify arrows and also as an alternative for crude/featherless arrows early game which is when you'd most likely be wanting to use bone arrows. 

I can't seem to pick up any Fauna of The Stone Age creatures to put into my backpack slots. I'm 90% sure it's an issue with Fauna relating to the recent version update, but I wanted to report on the off chance it's useful.

portalguy

It is safe to add midgame but as with all mods, backup your worlds before adding new mods.

BigBoy_pants

Do have any mods that alter deer in anyway?

Sianks

I have been contacted by the author and will try to set up compatibility.

Agzil

You no longer get several hides from bears but rather just 1 with a variance of 0 which means you most likely will get around 0.6 - 0.7 hides. Thus you quite litterally could get 0 many times over.

say ive butcherd a few bears now with this mod, and i have noticed im not getting the bear hides i get when i cut it up normally. Is this something thats missing or am i just unlucky?

Using hooks and table that give 100% drops, last bear butcherd had good weight, in case its relevant

Fauna Mod with Cat Predators is OUT, take a look CaptainOats

https://news.kalataka.ru/show/mod/5788

But im sure you know about it already, if anything the Author can send u required info (according to his recent comment where he said he will happily send u files u need for patch)

it seems deer have stopped dropping any hides when skinned on the hook. might be a mod compat issue, not sure

is this safe to add midgame?

Vanra

Will add some varients of Bronze Nails and Strips to those recipes

Hackettbear

You don't need to worry as the animals on pickup are removed form the entity count (for spawning purposes) and made into blocks so won't stop animals from coming back. The way VS spawns animals is very random so that might be what you are experiencing.

arcionek

If this is the case, I will have to check this out.

LesbianAdmin

The tables go on your back for a transport because I wanted the butchery setup not to be as easily transported to make you come back to base to process animals. You place them like a populated skep with Ctrl 1-4 or scrollwheel

Howdy, so forgive my confusion, but are the butchering tables only supposed to go on your back? Or, are you supposed to place them down to use them? The reason I ask is because in the screenshots it shows that you have them placed down in the world and I just can't figure out how to do it.

No idea why, but for some reason all the recipies related to the mod are missing in my handbook.

EDIT: Found the issue, apparently Primitive Survival causes the recipies to go missing.

Hi CaptainOats. Love this mod!

I am on a multiplayer server with this mod and many others. I am part of a group of cultists and we have been collecting rotten dead bodies from this mod for decorative purposes. However, I have noticed that the animals around us don't seem to be respawning as much. This could be due to server settings (I know the host lowered the animal spawn rate quite a bit). But, we are curious if we are the cause of this. Is there any possibility that not allowing the rotted bodies to despawn is causing the animals not to respawn? 

Suggestion for crafting recepeas: can we have NOT strict plate/screws recepies? 

Yesterday I was struggling making middle tier hooks, because of extreme luck we were able to skill copper almost entierly and jumped to bronze.. and were not able to make hooks that required specifically copper nails, and didnt accepted anything above 😖

Oweyan

Any drop rate bonus added through classes will affect the butchering tables and hooks.

If you are the hunter class and you use the butchering table do you get your class bonus added to the drop rate?

Gelan

It is compatible with Primitive Survial and the smoking mechanics of both will be seperate.

AnniPicto

They changed the code for horns awhile ago so I need to go back in and remake that code, will work on it soon. Thank you for the reminder.

Nalier

Thanks, I appreciate that!

TotallyNotKleb

I don't buy babbies.

Mynxae

Sounds like an oversight on my part, will fix soon unless I did it for another reason but I doubt it.

flakeinator

I will add that next update as I have seen a few requests for it and do think it's a good idea.

Oweyan

That warms ones heart. Thank you!

Crystalline_Fox

I know they were having issues with that but I am confident they can work out something. Hopefully.

This is just a minor thing but I noticed even the original vanilla meat doesn't work with the Food Shelves mod with Butchering installed, is there potential to add compatability between the two? 

This mod is honestly so great it should be in the vanilla game. It adds a really good immersive system for butchering animals that feels like it belongs.

Are there any plans for Chicken (Poultry) sausage options too? I use More Animals and The Critters Pack so there are a lot of extra birds in my game.

Question - I noticed that the smoked meat and smoked prime meat can both be put into meals, but can't be put into pies for some reason? Is that intended? 

Do you buy babbies?

Blood Sausage and Black Pudding - if my Mom played VS, she would LOVE this mod xddd

We noticed today that we stopped getting horns. We started playing without the butchering mod and collected a lot of different goats. All this time, when we butchered the males with a knife on the ground. all of them dropped horns (sometimes very small ones, but this was constant!). Now, when we hang the goats on hooks, the horns stopped appearing at all. I tried butchering the goat on the ground again and got horns again. This leaves us with an unpleasant choice. Perhaps there is a solution to this problem?

Is this compatible with Primitive Survival? I ask because it has a craftable smoke house, and I notice your mod has smoking capability. This made me wonder if there was going to be a conflict if I had both. 

Thranduil61

I use vanilla knapping which has a predefined button press which conflicts with the placing of bone. I'm not going to rewrite the vanilla system so people can place bone on the ground. This mods knapping currently can't be disabled. Thank you for your understanding.

AnniPicto

Any mod that adds block functionality probably would do the same as that's how the game is coded. But thank you for your feedback on poultry, I will most likely allow it to be made into sausge or think about something to do with it.

Might be mod issue with Shelf Obesessed, if you have that mod try updating it. If you are using a empty hand and right clicking without shift or ctrl (with empty backpack slot) then you are doing it correctly.

Lhosson

Like Anabella has posted it's a vanilla issue with 1.21.0 but doesn't break anything other than spam the console. I will look into compatibility with Combat Overhaul.

Xavier_

Thank you, I do appreaciate the complement!

TrippyTheO

I will look into compatibility with Combat Overhaul.

ScorchedAce

I have no clue why this happens, it's why I put the description in. Probably a vanilla issue of some kind.

I do not know if this comment has been made before, but I am not going to waste time and effort searching for it.

CaptainOats and G3rste, the mod is too punishing for primitive survival players and the initial premise that led to this mod was flimsy.

initial complaint - punishing primitives too hard:

from getting zero (may just be me having bad rng pulls) meat drops or hide drops (SHOULD NOT BE RNG-based) from field harvests where they fell (so no pickup), to reducing yields from primitive meat hooks and tables, this has heavily hit my current run's meat and hide production. Mind you that I am currently trying to get to more copper, but for now, I have none to spare for hooks and plates

Meat hooks in any capacity, are for easing the butchering process. Keyword, easing, as in they are not required for a successful harvest. Hell, the table isn't, you can skin, bleed, and gut a rabbit on a chicken wire fence with only twine to secure the legs (feature idea: Blood and dirty offal can be used for chicken feed, the small omnivores will definitely eat it up and it's good nutrients for them. They'll try to get to the blood while it's on the fence). Either way, reducing drops is no way to encourage using the mod's features the same way that nerfing a weapon is no way to end a meta.

Overall, the gains should outweigh the tedium of getting things set up for butchering (resin gathering pain in the ass when away from pine and acacia, knapping/smithing hooks (and for smithing the nails and hinges needed) including the extra material gathering for them). Currently, I would say this is not the case and has not improved my gameplay. I initially thought that 80% yield was fair, until I had to contend with it myself. It may be scarce game making that sting worse, but ONLY single pieces of meat per animal is rough either way.



Miscellanious complaints/suggestions (will be marked with C or S):

C/S - smoking meat being locked to metal hooks/a specialized block requiring more than two hooks when you can do it (quite possibly more efficiently without something like a smokehouse structure being possible) with three long branches and some smaller sticks tied to them to hang the meat off of. Foliage and paracord in following picture could be replaced by dry grass and rope. For simplicity, I will include a proposed crafting recipe for the smoking structure. Didn't have grass on hand so flint is replacing grass in this instance. Feel free to adust the recipe if you do take the idea. If a smokehouse becomes possible, maybe tying meat could be done with/without hooks. Could be more efficient but more expensive with flax twine getting two hangs (3 meat pieces secured together?) tied.

C/S (A lot of these are more complaint/suggestion than just complaint or suggestion) - Cleaning offal, 24 hours in a barrel soak not only is way too long but also just seems silly. Suggestion I have may be a longshot, but maybe a cleanliness rating like temperature for forged items would be better? so tossing them into water might be better. That, or maybe putting them in the crafting table with a water container like how you make bread dough.

S - Eggs and skin for larger fish after the added fish have come out? fattiest parts of salmon, mostly thought of that because bears tend not to eat the whole fish but just the eggs and skin. Would be interesting to see skinned fish as a sign that a bear was near a body of water.

C/S - Low weight animals seem to yield nothing but bones on the table, could just be rng, but would be nice to still get some meat, instance where single meat drop makes sense.

S - cheaper hooks for smaller game? maybe holding racoons at most but being one less hook in cost along with some other bits.

C/S - never made sense that only skinning it is enough to bleed the body, and bleeding a body in the first place is supposed to add to shelflife, maybe getting the offal at this stage could be an additional step taken. Maybe yields more blood but dirtier offal?

Not sure if this has been noted yet, but the description and the actual crafting of raw blood sausage cost .2L of blood, however the Handbook crafting recipe shows the buckets having .8 in them instead of .2.

Howdy CaptainOats! I'm having a similar issue to Lhosson. I was trying to use bone arrows with a longbow but could not fire them. I tried to select my ammo and could not select bone arrows. I am using Combat Overhaul. If this is a CO issue, lemme know and I'll go bother Maltiez about it, ahahaha. 

Thank you for the mod. I enjoy the extra complexity this mod brings. It's great that I'm not forced to butcher, but am rewarded for it when I do so. The balance so far feels great.

I pretty much consider your mod a must have, very good job.

I heard back from the Food Shelves mod author.  They said "There's currently an issue with 1.21.0 - the new recipe system has a bug, it's fixed in 1.21.1-rc.1. Don't worry, it will not break anything at all, it's just spamming the console and that's it."  So I am going to go ahead and run both mods. Just putting the info here since I had reported it here too as I wasn't sure where the problem was at.  

Bone arrows are not selectable as ammunition with the Longbow and Recurve Bow. I'm also using Bullseye, so not sure if that's a thing to consider.

I'm also getting the same errors as Anabella with food shelves, which I have uninstalled for now.

Fantastic mod though. I can't live without it now :)

When I have the Butchering mod installed it causes errors to happen with Food Shelves mod.  I am going to post this to both mods. I am hoping that this can be fixed to where both mods are compatible as I would love to run both of them.  Errors from the server-main.log listed below.  This was from a new test game with default settings and only these two mods installed.

How do you pickup animal bodies? It's a fox and I've got an empty backpack slot but it also says that it should fit in an inventory slot, can't seem to get it work even when hold shift or ctrl or alt

edit: After having read the guide again, I'm following the instructions exactly but right clicking the animal does nothing. Is the mod not working with the latest stable build?

This is our first time playing with your mod. We tested it on a test world first. We found a weird thing (maybe it's useful to add it to the description). If you disable the mod, continue the game, exit it and enable it again, the hooks won't work. They need to be broken and reinstalled.

We also have a question: why can't chicken meat be smoked or added to sausage? It would be great to smoke a whole chicken, but it seems more complicated than adding to a sausage recipe.

Bone knapping and new 1.21 bone pile are conflicting. How can I disable bone knapping?

Le_Chapellier

Make sure you have the correct mod version installed plus updated all other mods to maks sure there isn't a mod issue. Also have you cleaned out your mods folder to make sure there are no copies of Butchering (even if disabled they can be a problem). Also make sure the mod is enabled in the ingame mod list.

Sianks

Yes it is true

Deveerox

I use the vanilla knapping system so I can't really change the keybinding without changing all knapping keybinds.

Wladyth

I will look into that as soon as I can. Thank you for the info and report.

VoidwalkerViolet

As long as who ever made the unoffical patch doesn't change anything major with the animal husbandry code then I can assume it still works.

undeadfish66 CupOfMoths KibbyTom Chyiome

Baby Gazzelles now should be fixed and no longer crash you

AzzAzf

Since this mod uses vanilla's values and drops you can just alter the base games animal drops. I don't touch those value apart from when Field harvesting. Plus you can already alter the drop rate with the configs but it applys to all animals.

Awesome Mod!

Is there the possibility of a future config to tweak things like the drop yield per carcass? etc.

Hi, 

Two people of my server get a crash after killing a baby gazelle. I withdraw the mod but they can't log in the server and keep crash for the same reason.

ANy idea to fix it?

Baby gazelle indeed still crashes the game, thanks to comments below for helping me narrow it down.

Can confirm that adult Gazelle is fixed, but the baby gazelle still crashes the game.
So far, between three people:
1 crashes when trying to look at dead baby Gazelle
2 crash when trying to put baby Gazelles onto the skinning hook.

howdy wanted to let you know baby gazelle crash the game after you pick them up and try to move it at all 

Thanks @Jhoulana I didn't realise, I must have overwritten tge config when updating.

ComradeTum the bone pickaxes are deactivated by default, you need too activate them in the configs

Hiya, I recently updated to your last 1.20.12 release, v1.9.2, and the bone pickaxes and recipies for such seem to have vanished. Has anyone else expeerienced this?

I see under Q&A that this mod works with XSkills, but just wanted to double check before updating my server, does it work with the unofficial patch made by rabite for 1.21? https://news.kalataka.ru/xskillsrabite#tab-description

A player on a server I'm playing on was reporting that his penalized movespeed from carrying creatures in a butchering bag was still applying to him after he died and dropped his stuff, I have ran a few tests with just the butchering mod running on the latest release with latest release of the mod and can confirm that the movespeed penalty keeps applying to your character after death, until you pick up a bag in the slot the butchering bag was in before death or you recover the butchering bag and put it down or toss the carcasses out.

Heres a quick Imgur gallery with a few pictures showing the Bug in question.

Imgur Gallery: https://imgur.com/a/i1Zpn6q

@Le_Chapellier I had that problem but once I updated primitive survival it fixed it. So if you also use that mod try that

Hello! Can You maybe think about new mod? Ive got an idea, what do you think?

Deveerox I belive when that happens you hit ctrl shit right click or shift alt right click one of those combinations

Would it be possible to add a modifier to 'knapping' bones or make it like stones? I can't seem to pile bones due to "ctrl+Right Mouse" bieng bound for knapping AND ground storing

"THESE DO NOT WORK ON GAME VERSION 1.21 BUT DO ON 1.20" 

Is this true? Or outdated info? Im about to add this amazing mod to my mod list and dont know if Fauna animals wont work

CaptainOats That's the problem in the book I can't find the crafters they don't show up :/

Marucjo

The 1.21 bear only drops 1 special hide so 1 divided by 80% (hook) then divided 60-80% for animal weight gets your awnser.

Fat can be 1-3 at base value then divided by 80% (hook) then divided 60-80% for animal weight.

0w0

Will look into that in 1.21 .

Thanks!

I'm still using the 1.20 release and noticed that the bone arrows won't show up as a usable arrow for the Bullseye mod.

btw, great mod! I've got "Beast of Men" mod and it's funny seeing my tiny mouse bringing and tending to game that's way bigger than her XD

Just skinned a Bear (brown one) and got 1 lump of fat on primitive hook using stone knife. Is that normal? Wiki says ther should be 2.5 fat and huge hides... is there some math multi-rounding that got me screwed or something? Fresh save with 1.21 with reinstalled mod.

10 Bush meat so 0.8x0.8=0.64 of original seems to hold. But that would be at least on huge hide...

Anabella

Make sure you aren't using bodies taken from the creative menu as they don't contain data from the killed animal (I've had a few people do that and wonder why it's not working) but also what you are getting from the animal with the copper hook and bench is should be exactly what you would get normally because I do not touch the drops manually. Keep in mind animals can be staving aka low weight and that can effect drop rates quite significatily which is a vanilla mechanic.

BoredEngineer

Thank you for the info.

NeroTheDemonKin KillerJam25 HMB_JackylTTV

The Butchering Table goes into a backpack slot for balancing reasons as stated in the item description and Q&A on this page

Kastoruz Aceldama Kanakotka

Just about to put up a fix for that, thank you for letting me know.

Masca

Just about to put up a 1.21 release

Le_Chapellier

If you look in the ingame handbook by pressing H and type Butchering Table/Butchering Hook you will find the recipes you will need.

Will repeat the experiense: Gazelle corpses, specifically looking at them cause a crash.

In case anyone doesn't know:

"Backpack slot " is where you baskets go to expand inventory.

They are NOT the inventory slots themslves.

Take a basket/bag out of one of those slots in the bottom right (CTRL +1,2,3 or 4) and the butchering table will fill it.

HMB_JackylTTV

Hey, you need to open up a backpack slot and it will automatically go there. You then use control to move the cusor over to place it. I explained this three posts down. Read before complaining.

I can't pick up my butchering table. It wouldn't go into a slot and I dropped it, and now it's just sitting on the ground. What a waste of materials

Hello, I don't know where to find the crafting recipes for different items like the butcher's table :/

This wonderfull mod will work in 1.21 in future?

I can also make it like NeroTheDemonKin but I can't put it into an empty inventory. I made 2 different times and even went into creative world and still having the same issue

@NeroTheDemonKin You Need A EMPTY BACKPACK SLOT To Pick Up A Butchering Table

NeroTheDemonKin It has to go into a basket/backpack slot. You can use control to scroll over to it and put it down then.

just crashed from the same thing as Kastoruz, but just from looking at the gazelle carcass -- it was dead already when i came up to it

Doesn't work for me with the new 1.21.0 update.

Something with the gazelle corpse. I just killed one and it simply crashed.

Looking forward to stable release ! :)

CaptainOats the issue with hooks is fixed in the SmithingPlus 1.7.1

I'm currently having an issue with the Butchering table. I can craft it, but it won't go into an empty slot, so I can put it down. I even tried in creative, still doesn't work. Is this a known bug or is it just me? CaptainOats

the fauna of the stone age mods are no longer working

Entaris copper knife.  Which is what makes sense for skinning as a cleaver is more for chopping up parts.  I can look at the configs but I thought copper got me 100%.  Was strange skinning them and getting nothing at all on the skinning.  I got stuff on the butchering of the body on the table from all of them. Used the copper knife on that part too as I have to make a new cleaver since making the table used the one I had.

Anabella knife or cleaver?

Also, something something configs, something option to boost the drops back up

CaptainOats Well, when we start seeing microblock carving going mainstream, you'll remember this.

Not getting hides all the time even when using copper knife.  These are animals on a copper hook.  I skinned several wolves and only 2 gaves hides. Since I am new to the mod I am not sure if that is intended or a bug.  I will check back on this mod because I like the idea but will have to stop using it right now as I really need those hides.

animatiV

I will fix that soon.

Entaris

While a cool concept it would be a lot of work for only a small feature of the mod to add.

GriffinOConner

Not a bad idea, I will write it down in my list of potential things to add I have.

Morphine2321

The bone pickaxe needs to be enabled within the configs. You can find them in ...appdata/roaming/vintagestorydata/modconfig.

Spiridon

I didn't make compatibiltiy for that mod on my end so I will have to look into that.

BoredEngineer

Going to have to ask Jayu to revert that change within SmithingPlus because I have been asked that multiple times now.

Giordy492

Sadly that is a current limitation of what I have set out so far in the mod.

Yelb

Probably a mod conflict, also I will fix the white moose soon.

Sianks

SoonTM

TinyGanon

Make sure the old version of the mod isn't turned off in your files and try a fresh install plus make sure to activate the mod in the mod list.

Uhhh... Well... I wanted to use the daymares cup mod but i needed 1.21.0 VS version cuz of clay mechanics and after redownloading all mods to their new version i cant seem to pick up any corpses from the ground after being killed shloud i uninstall and reinstall? or is it a new bug i tryied picking the corpse into a empty space and reed bag both of being empty and i still cloudnt pick it up. For further identification of bug type i can say that the corpse was A Pig Generation:1 Weight:good and she wasnt prepared to be pregnant like 3 days or smth until she was prepared 

Edit: And also when i start up any world there is like A recipie Sunflower blooddough uses a unknown ingredient "bowl_fired" and pretty much it doesnt do anything but i cant make blood dought with a BOWL of blood it has to be bucket

Also you cloud add that you can make blood recipies with ceramic bottles and i have the newest version 1.21.0 rcs "1.10.0 rcs"

Dev of the SmithingPlus mod says that a single hook recipe, that can be made with bits, comes from his mod. I'm using only few mods, should be easy to check if conflict is between these two.

Waiting for 1.21... Stable

Oh i managed to get one animal. A deer. Not sure why, last time(s), it didn't work. Maybe it mess with some other mods i have installed.

Eranderil Yes, empty hand, empty bag slot, opened inventory, knife, butcher bag, shitf, sneak, nothing, both, etc, i tried i think all combo.

Yelb Empty hand? (with open bag slot or butcher bag on you)

$Hi ! V1.21 Linux, here.

I'm missing something i guess, i cannot pick any corpse i kill, only the classic knife action. I tried with an empty bag slot, a butcher bag, different slot, mouse buttons, shitf, sneak etc.

I have several fauna mods, dino, stone age, critters, but even vanilla animals i cannot "butcher-mod", only classic butcher. The mod is active, i have the butcher table, some hooks etc.

(I also have the white moose)

Help ?

Found a small bug with Butchering (1.21.0-rc.7) and SmithingPlus (1.6.8-rc.7 and 1.7.0) in VS 1.21.0 release. The hook doesn't appear in selection of smithing workitems, if you use an ingot.
But if you use bits of metal then hook can be selected. In 1.20.x with appropriate mod versions, it worked as expected.

Giordy492 From the Q&A section just above us:

"Will [CptOats] add in the ability to field harvest a corpse after pickup?"

"It would take a lot of work to rework that system as the moment you pick it up it becomes a block not an entity. To convert it back would be easy but to add all the stats back perfectly and make sure the creature instantly dies again but not play any animations despite it wanting to whilst making sure you wouldn't be able to abuse it by placing it over and over until you gliched it's weight up."

as of now if you pickup an animal to put it on a hook you cannot skin it "the traditional way" anymore, making it impossible to eat prey that you accidentally pick up when exploring far from home, can it be fixed? thanks

Wonder if that is just me or others have similar issue. In 1.21.0 release, hooks disapeared from smithing grid, can't select them as work item.

not compatible with https://news.kalataka.ru/moreanimals....used to be but now i cnt skin animals from that mod...i can only hook them

how do I enable the bone pick?

Would it be possible to add a recipe to turn the blood in to bloodmeal fertilizer?

Is there a plan for a scrimshaw update, with us being able to get ivory and all?

CaptainOats Thanks for the reply!  I will say that the meat was only invisible the first 'batch' I smoked.  Subsequent batches have not been invisible.  Appreciate your time!

CaptainOats Only the texture of the dead moose is white :)

Alright, thank you

animatiV

At somepoint perhaps but this game update wiped all my compatibility with animal mods so I am starting at square one again.

Thank you for the report, should be fixed now.

I encountered a game crash while trying to skin a moose. 

Now when loading the world an error appears:

Luckily, this was my mod testing world.

Yay! Finally an update to 1.21! Thanks :D

Will compatibility be added for these mods?: - The Critters Pack, - Primitive Survival, - More Animals

Fateo

Do you have any other mods installed which effect drops such as Faster Breeding?

CeramicRobot

That is a cool idea, might look into this.

BloodW0lf

1.21 Wiped all creature compatibility because they changed how animal files work so I will have to see what gets updated first and what I need to work on to get that compatibility back.

Sianks

I don't have intergration with Expanded Foods yet but will look into it in 1.21

I will look at how Combat Overhaul does arrows in 1.21 to see if I can fix that

You can make a Primitive Butchering Hook before the Copper one and you can't Field Harvest a creature once picked up, that is a limitation yes.

maxsteele

It seems to only happen on servers as in my test world it works fine. Might be a texture atlas issue, might not be. Gonna reach out in 1.21 to see if I can fix that.

Alright, Am I DOING something wrong or is this just a feature of this mod? I collected animal into by Backpack slot and went home to discover I cant butcher it in butchering tables cause i need to skin it, cool, u cant do that without copper, cool so I guess i just need to do it the vanilla way, place it on ground and harvest it, NOPE you cant. In fact you CANT do anything with animals once u picked it up besides programmed Butchering process. 

Am I missing something or is this the mods limitation??

Thank you for the amazing mod!  I'm having an issue with the copper hook smoking rack.   I'm smoking bush meat using peat bricks.  When the smoking finishes, all of the bush meat on the rack disappears, but it's still there and I can pick it all up into my inventory.

I haven't tried smoking with wood yet to see if the same issue happens.

I am also having the same issue that Sianks said - bone arrows do not work with bows right now.

Sadly,  this mod is NOT working with Combat Overhaul. To be more specific Bone Arrows dont work with Bows anymore.

SO, it this AMAZING mod wokring with EXPANDED FOODS???? Ive been wondering for weeks now and no answer

any chance for compat for the critters pack, Untamed wilds Ursidae, and feverstones mods? gerat mod you made and a must imo!

It would be a kind of cool feature if you could produce saltpeter by burying full corpses. I'd try to mod that feature myself, but I have no modding experience :(

I dont know why, but suddenly i cant get red or Bushmeat out of Animals. I have other mods installed, but it just stopped working. I get everything from Primed meat and other stuff, i just dont get meat. Any idea Why? Love the Mod btw

FrankieYale

You can place down the Butchering Table on the floor like a block/skep to store it. Pressing Ctrl 1-4 will select it in your bag slots and the right click like the filled skep to place.

Sinemu

Two things: toolworksadditions isn't updated to 1.20 let alone 1.21 so I won't work on something that most people aren't going to use. But also that looks like they are patching my mod and it not longer works so I can't do anything on my end to stop that.

Narg

Look under your seat! You get a blood soup! and you get a blood soup! (It's already in the mod ;) probably need to add a few more descriptions to the mod page)

Merrloin

I am unsure how I would fix that as the base game animals all use a single texture and all I do is replace that texture with my own so I can't single it out on the texture side of things. I would have to somehow disable that element/cube but not sure vanilla allows that.

KranKyKroK

Working on the new update now but I will have to jump through some hoops to get to a finished state. I 'hope' to release when they drop stable 1 or 2 but thta depends how quickly that comes.

Just wanted to say thanks for making the mod. You really struck gold here. I can't imagine playing VS without it. Good luck working on 1.21 update! I'll be patiently waiting for this mod before I dive into it.

CaptainOats Not sure how vital this is, but when I skin a rooster the texture preserves the tail feathers as skin/meat. Just thought I'd point it out as a minor texture fix!

CaptainOats hey, got the idea from variations on a meal, whats your thoughts on adding blood as a broth equivalent soup base to replace the water?

mod conflicts with toolworksadditions

So if you don't want to/need to use the butchering table at the moment and instead want extra backpack space, your only option is to toss the butchering table on the ground since it can't be stored anywhere?

That tracks regarding uniqueness. In the interim it's offal pies for days!

CaptainOats
yea i may just be in an area with a different water type, one of the players on my server was able to get it to work, ill have to see what kind of water i have in my area of the map

LongPenis Staek

I do plan on having more compatibility with Expanded Foods, I have spoked to the mod author L33tman who has been very busy but has expressed wanting compatibiltiy also. He said that he wanted to do part of it on his end for Primemeat but I know he is exeptionally busy on life and Expanded Foods so I might hit him up and see if I can help him speed it up. I will say probbaly not 1.20 but 1.21 would be where it happens.

Heavy_Mettaloid

It's not a bad idea but for gameplay purposes I wanted to make sure bushmeat animals had something 'unique' that they dropped. My goal is to make all animals worth hunting for something big or small and predator or prey.

SylviaGrim

The mod isn't updated for 1.21 yet, thank you for your patience.

M4TIx

In the configs which is in ...Appdata/Roaming/VintagestoryData/ModConfig you will find ButcheringV3 which has some setting for stuff like the Bone Pickaxe

SoulReaperz

Should be plain old fresh water (not salted from a ocean because I think there is a distiniction in the crafting) in a barrel then place the Bloody Offal inside like you would hides. 1L of water per 1 Offal should work.

If you are using a mod that changes basegame water then please message again and I will try to work out a patch for 1.21 (because I have already begun the change in my files and I can't easily go back)

you have to go into the configs and enable bone pickaxe. It's set to false by default M4TIx

Anyone know how exactly to clean offals?

I've put 1L of water as it says and it doesn't work

ive tried crafting grid with 1L in a bucket and still nothing 

barrel and bucket of 1L to 1 offal does nothing

game version 1.20.12

mod version 1.9.1

I cant craft the bone pickaxe :c is removed?

Will there be compatibility with Expanded Foods?

SylviaGrim We have it in rc1, as well. mayonnaise Found something about the file paths being slightly different, so VS is simply not finding the Butchering entities anymore.

I am on 1.21-rc2 at the moment, and I am not sure if it is a mod conflict as I am rather modded, so I am hesitant to comment on it, but while the mod loads fine and I can build everything, I cannot pick up any animals into my backpack slots or a butchery bag after some testing and not sure what could cause it

Any thoughts on being able to turn clean offal into sinew? Something like 3 clean offal + knife/shears = 1 sinew.

Catgut comes from offal but basically has the same uses as sinew so I figure it'd be simpler to just have it produce sinew to avoid more items.

CaptainOats I expect it to be some kind of Conflict then. I am of course not one-click installing I am using the manual install.

  CaptainOats Is this compatible with expanded foods yet? i saw you said you were working on that but I don't see anything since then, and it doesn't say it's incompatible. I would LOVE to use this in conjunction with my other cooking/food mods as I'm building a manor house that's going to have a very elaborate kitchen, cold cellar, and wine cellar. would be amazing to be able to add a butchery.

MorsMorbid

It fits into the empty slot of the backpack and basket.

Ive made two primitive butcher tables and it won't let me place it on the floor or in my inventory I dropped it and I was unable to pick it up or interact with it

Redumulis

I seem to not be able to replicate the issue on my end. Please make sure you don't have a copy of the mod within your mods folder or modsbyserver folder (if your playing on a server) even if it's turned off that can cause issues with things. Also make sure you are manually downloading mods and not using the 1 click install as that can be buggy. If the probelm persists then more info would be appreciated.

CaptainOats
Thank you for the reply, sorry for the repeat question. 🙂

CaptainOats I was trying to pick up Wolves, 1.9.1 of the mod, and 1.20.12 version of the game.

Thank you for update!

Redumulis

What animal are you trying to pick up, version of the mod and game version?

Entaris

It seems to be working for me on my end, did you make sure to use ButcheringV3 config correct?

Madalovin

This has been asked before and I sadly have to say no to that but thank you taking time to comment.

B0YAR Prawn

I posted a small patch to fix the bird issue.

Lagranger

You can harvest on the ground for 50% or turn on 'light' field harvesting mode in the configs to up that to 80% which I might recommend for a challaging run like the arctic

Puxido

I will most likely be only doing the popular ones as there is a lot of them.

Are you intending to make compatibility updates for all the Fauna of the stone age mods?  I only ask because you've done so many so far.

As a suggestion, would it be possible to add a butchering tier below the flint hook and butchering table? I am playing an arctic game and the only source of food in the early game is meat, so if you don't manage to find flint (or some of the other resources) on day 1, it feels a bit dumb to starve to death next to a lit campfire and an inventory full of small animals. 😁

B0YAR Same issue I posted - author said they fixed it, will be uploaded with next stable release of Vintage Story :)

We live without that tiny bird for now, unfortunately. Fortunately, it doesn't break anything else except that one specific small bird species won't spawn. So keep gaming!

Game version: 1.20.12
Mod version: 1.9.1

We are using compatible mods from the list, but we are experiencing errors:
This mod list:

Errors:

Heyya there, could a full bucket of blood be able to be dumped to make a pool of liquid 'still blood'? c:

CaptainOats Yeah, I've done that part. But Bone Pick Head comes up in  the Handbook without a recipe.

I've tried the knapping menu too, and it's not their either.

Do I need specifically bones from butchering or something?

I'm not sure what changed, but picking up a butcher body that has been placed on the ground from the hotbar, and not from the bags bar, crashes my game.

I've decided to drop Expanded Foods entirely for this mod. I love the immersion it brings. The only thing I'd like to see now is the ability to cook all forms of prime meats and keep the healing in the prepared dishes! 24+ hp Smoked Cured Healthy Primemeat Hefty Stew anyone?

Entaris

The bone pickaxe needs to be enabled within the configs. You can find them in ...appdata/roaming/vintagestorydata/modconfig.

NEXDEATH

The reason behind the table being only held within the backpack slots like a skep is to reduce the chances of you running around in the wild with it and 8 hooks and slapping them down where the animals are rather than setting up an acutal butchering area.

Prawn

I have fixed it just now as I had made a few spelling mistakes but I most likely will not be releasing a update until next game stable update.

Hello! I have the following issue:

Installing this mod results in an animal from the Fauna of the Stone Age: Casuariidae Plus to not spawn at all, even when trying to place in Creative mode. Speciffically the "Tasmanian nativehen / Tribonyx mortierii / Rallidae". I've uninstalled all mods, deleted configs and cache, reinstalled ONLY FoSA Casuariidae Plus - it works. Installed Butchering - it no longer works. This is the error I found in the server-main.log:

https://pastebin.com/pgKCpALi

NEXDEATH you need a free back slot (the one you put the reed baskets in) and then press and hold control and scroll, then you'll need a 3x1 block space to place it.

when i make a primitive butchering table i cant pick it up, it just makes it and falls onto the ground. tried going into creative and that didnt work as well. it would be nice to be able to store it other than in the backpack slot

mayonnaise Great.

Well anyway, anybody found the recipe for these bone pick heads?

Entaris really it's just as simple as going into the patch files to correct what file path it's looking for. i offered to do it myself for CaptainOats on Discord but they said they prefer to do everything themself since this is their main hobby, so i'll just leave it to them i think :>

mayonnaise Shiny, how do we fix it?

Entaris yeah, it seems the patches to add the corpse functionality from Butchering to vanilla animals are not working because the patch is looking in the wrong places. this is because, apparently, they rearranged the entities folder in 1.21.

Travisplo Heavy_Mettaloid Spikeball

There is a Butchering mod config within the (...appdata/roaming/vintagestorydata/modconfig/butcheringconfigv3) of your computer. This offers the following:

1. The ability to change both the drop rates of the Butchering Table and Butchering Hooks
2. The ability to turn on field harvesting 'light mode' for increased drops in the field
3. Some extra options that you can turn off or on

Mynxae

That has been the plan for a little while now but I keep forgetting when it comes to actually adding it and i'm now taking a step back from development of this mod until stable drops for the next version. It may get added when I update to the new stable version.

Any chance we could lessen the time to bleed small animals, like hares or chickens? It just doesn't really make sense that a massive bear and a tiny hare (heh, fun rhyme) take the same amount of time to bleed. 

Along with that though, I also wouldn't mind it if the bigger animals took more time. 

mayonnaise Oh, yknow what? I DO recall my server console complaining about not finding entities for a slew of stuff. Thought maybe it resolved it further on, since I was still seeing what I thought it was talking about.

I didn't realize they were looking for a SEPARATE set of entities

Travisplo I haven't tested it yet for compatability but I know R.Meat adds configuration for animal drops. (I was just looking for solutions for this myself but wasn't planning on testing anything until 1.21 stable)

My hope would be the knife harvest debuff is a percentage of the amount set by the R.Meat Config file.

I am hoping I can configure it so knife is still less then vanilla but buchering is more.

on closer examination, it seems that for most animals, either the Butchering animal corpse item just doesn't exist, or only a rotten variant is available. most animals dont even seem to have a corpse item from Butchering. once again, using 1.21. hope you update for unstable but no pressure either way!

mayonnaise same here

i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong but i cant seem to pick up animal corpses in 1.21; can anyone else confirm or deny?

Speaking of Config files, just realized today my new server has some non-standard configs, for whatever reason.

Where should I be looking for worldperms and the like? That might be where my pick-up restriction is coming from, because I have EVERYTHING else now.

Travisplo I've had the same idea for a while. More configuration would make this a lot more fun. I'd prefer to see this mod work as a reward system rather than a punishment system myself. 

Anyone have a good suggestion settings to make this system a buff instead of a debuff when harvesting the vanilla way? It looks really interesting, but I don't really see the point in debuffing the already ridiculously skimpy drops in game. For example- 10-16 meat from a full-grown Moose, which is ridiculous for something that in the real world can keep a person fed for three months.

So basically, anyone have good advice for how to set up the configs to make it so that the vanilla harvesting system is back to vanilla's already skimpy meat drops are the normal, but going through the actual proper butchery process is just a buff to get closer to realistic amounts of meat and other drops?

CaptainOats I'll have to check it again, since the server was just rolled back to the stable ver.

However, it's about to be Winter, so who knows how long it's gonna be until I find another bear, hahaha.

Entaris

I am able to pick up every bear type male or female without issue on the current version of the mod. Do you have the correct version of the mod installed? Which is 1.91 mod version and 1.20.12 game version? Also make sure you are using an empty hand.

ThePrawnSean

Glad you were able to work it out, happy butchering!

I see I see. I just figured that out and came here to remove my comment. Sorry again <3

ThePrawnSean it IS a physical table. You have to place it. It is just carried using a back slot, like animals in cages or Buthering carcasses

Woops! Sorry brotato!!! :D Was really disappointed, will pop in again. I'm not sure I enjoy it taking a backpack slot, I really liked the vibe of having a physical butchery table. Maybe have an option in the config to place it if you don't really care about that balance? I can manually just decide not to go out and do that, and absolutely LOVE your butchery table model. (Especially since in your pictures you have the butchery table placed down with a physical model)

the table goes into the slot, no problem. Installed it in place just fine.

took me a bear. can't pick him up. No prompt.

made a butchery bag and everything.

Do I need more than 3 dedicated slots or something?

I found an issue where if I pick up the animals and then put them back on the ground to butcher them (because I can't find resin for a hook) then the game won't let me. I've tested a little bit and found I can butcher on the ground for reduced drops as long as I don't pick them up first.

Crowflake LughC 

Will be working on compatibility with Expanded Foods hopefully next.

Drago78

Not sure which cows you are talking about but I either don't support them currently or it requires a empty hand.

Entaris

I'm unsure on that one, did you download through 1 click install and could you try doing a manual reinstall to see if that fixes it. 

Jhoulana

I won't be touching fish or fish-like entities with this mod most likely.

Flamestar

Yes it does but my custom item stuff currently doesn't get used in Expanded Foods recipes but the base game stuff/meat does as that remains untouched. It won't break anything if you do want to try it.

ThePrawnSean

The table goes into a backpack slot as said in the Q&A section of this mod page. The idea behind having the table take up a backpack slot is to stop people running around with them in the wild to butcher creatures in the field. Skeps use the same system. Try using the Ctrl + 1-4 keys or scrolling your mouse wheel to select the table in your bag slot, this is how you can place down bags like linen sacks or skeps also.

If this ever gets expanded foods compatibility it will become a mainstay on my sever. Great mod over all.

I can't even put the butchering table in my inventory. When crafted, just pops out onto the ground and no one can pick it up. Is officially broken in 1.20

Does this mod work with Expanded Foods? I want to try them both, but I don't want to break anything.

Drago78 cows from Medieval expansion? You need a patch for the current stable version of the game.

can i request to add fish to be able to pick up and buchtered on the table ?

I'm getting returns saying the client can't find ANY textures to assign Buthering. from baby bunny to big ol bear

have i misplaced something?

@CaptainOats Not sure if this has beed talked about. But I am having issues with the cows and getting them in the butcher bag. I have tried clicking all over, etc. but it just keeps giving the option of normal skin/carve with knife.

CaptainOats that is unfortunate, it'd seem it's probably an issue with those mods rather than you, I thought it was immersive mouse mode so I turned it off, only to experience the same issue with picking up linen sacks. I'll be checking those mods to get a better idea of what's going on, thank you for the quick response!

On a different note, I agree with Crowflake, it would be nice to see blood, sausages, and prime meat become compatible with Expanded Foods' systems if it's installed, I'd love to use raw sausages as an ingredient in a stew for instance, rather than eating the sausages straight-up every time. I know that'd be a lot of work though, just expressing interest! ^^

Mod's amazing for immersion, but I wish you would be able to use blood for more than just its own recipes. Some compatibility with Expanded Foods to use it as a protein additive to dough would be really great!

RoxieB

Sadly the horns use a diffrent system to the loot drop table that this mod pulls from so I would have to work out a solution to see if I can somehow take the horns into consideration when butchering a creature.

FamiliarFeline

I am unsure if those do cause incompatibility but if so then I fear I can't fix that.

berryland

This issue should be fixed when I update next.

RavenPearce

The idea behind having the table take up a backpack slot is to stop people running around with them in the wild to butcher creatures in the field. Skeps use the same system. Try using the Ctrl + 1-4 keys or scrolling your mouse wheel to select the table in your bag slot, this is how you can place down bags like linen sacks or skeps also.

Firstly, why does a butchering table go in my bag slot? That's stupid. Tables in a bag slot? And it doesn't do anything while in my bag slot. Secondly, when primitive butchering table is crafted and dropped, it can't be picked back up. Lastly, it doesn't place in world. 

Just tested several isolated combinations of Butchering, Caninae, and the 4 available Butchering Compat mods (Patched, Expanded, etc). Can confirm that Caninae is currently bugged, you can't pick up any dead animals from the mod.

I believe I'm experiencing the same bug that KitsuneWitch was experiencing, I do have Pickup Artist installed as well as Xandus Inventory Tweaks, I understand if you can't support fixing this bug given that it's likely due to a mod incompatibility, but if it's an easy fix it'd be nice!

Musk Ox is turning into a goat when picked up, meaning you can't get the Musk Ox horns unless you butcher on the ground.

Mornedil

I will look into adding a way to turn off or on those class recipes for people playing singleplayer, I had just made them inline with base game content you see.

Exodiac

It just means cellars are best for storing corpses and meat. Nothing speical just base game recommendation.

Unhearted

Good idea, will do some research into this!

Alatyr

That is tempting as an idea but maybe best done in a furniture mod such as Food Shelves by the wonderful Sonzina (who I think already has knife storage in one of their mods)

blacksugart

I do want to add something more to the chicken/bird like creatures so maybe.

Zenny TaxMage 

I will have a look and update the mod soon with a patch if it's broken

Ducky_

Might be a texture atlas issue. Try asking on the discord mod section about uping it as I don't have the command to hand.

GamerCake

Gonna be honest I probably will remove that block as it causes more issues than it solves, it was a frankinstien of a monster in the code sense and I just can't seem to fix it at my current skill level.

akroeze

Sadly I can't accomidate your biblical disaster levels of wanting blood to flood the rivers of the world. It would be metal as hell but I won't be adding that feature.

We are overrun with blood.

How likely is it that you could make it so we can pour the blood like a water block? I'm not saying we want to make a river of blood, but I'm not not saying it...

Is FOTSA Caninae working for others? I see that it is supposed to be patched in as of May, but I can't seem to pick up wolf, fox, etc corpses?

Currently experiences some major issues on version 1.20.12 stable.
This bug is happening on a multiplayer server, I am not sure exactly what caused it but the butchering box I've been using for about an in-game month suddenly broke, it was off and the fuel-timer didn't increase when you put in gears.
Worse yet, when you broke the butchering box (the fridge) it would drop another (fully working (?)) one while reappearing again shortly after, effectively giving you a broken and infinitely respawning butchering box.

The mod is working for me, but corpses are invisible on the hooks and butchering table. Does anyone know why that could be? Like a mod incompatibility? Although even vanilla animals don't show up...

Anyone having compatibility problems with Fauna of the Stone Age mods:pantherinae listed on the description? Are they really compatible? I can't seem to be able to carry the dead animals from that mod at all.

Can we have roasted chickens in a stick (that would be cool and delicious to see)

I would like to have a slot to store a knife right on the cutting table. Similar to the tool shelf, just a click to put or take a knife or cleaver.

First your mod is great ! This all should be in the vanilla game.
We need to be able to make fiber from sinew man, that would be pretty realistic :P

Hiya, loving your mod, i was looking through the guide and seen it says "butchering and smoking is best done in a cellar environment". What does this mean? Do we get better items/ rates if we do it in a cellar or is just for the spoilage reasons. 

Great mod!
Is there a way to turn off recipes that are class-exclusive in vanilla?

I saw that there was an option to turn off crude arrows from bone arrowheads, but I can't find an option to turn off sewing kit recipes.

PinkShot

You need to place "butcheringWorkLoad": "Small/Medium/Large" inside the "attributesByType" of each animal of each file.

It should go between "bloodAmount" and "handbookByType".

Thank you for getting in touch and hope this helps.

Hi CaptainOats,

First of all – thank you for the amazing Butcher mod. It’s one of my absolute favorite mods in Vintage Story!

I’ve run into a bit of trouble with the butcheringexpandedcompatibility / butcheringcompatpatch mods:

Vanilla animals can be butchered and skinned on the hook just fine – but modded animals from add-ons like vombatidae or dinornithidae don’t respond at all. They hang on the hook, but there’s no interaction possible.

I tried adding "butcheringWorkLoad": "small" to the respective JSON files like this one:

assets/butcheringcompatpatch/itemtypes/butchercreatures/bovinae/bovinae.json

(inserting it above "maxstacksize") – but even after restarting and spawning new animals, nothing changed.

Is there anything else that needs to be defined for them to work? Or could this be a compatibility bug with the patch mod? I'd love to get it working – your butcher system is too good to miss out on for those extra creatures!

Thanks in advance for any ideas or insight!

1stSlug

Unlikely for now as I have a fair amount of stuff to do.

Secular12

Try replaceing the bench down and if that doesn't solve the issue then please comment again, thank you

Arthopleura

This mod won't to touch fishing due to it being removed from the ModDB site

Any knife should work as long as it uses the tool attribute "knife" so I will say most likely but I've not personally tested it

Smokefairydust

Hello there, have you made sure to place down the bench again as the most recent update of the mod changed part of the code which require it to be placed down again (you can pick up the bench and place it, no need to craft a new one).

If that doesn't solve the issue then are you running any animal mods on the world you are testing or have you ran any animal mods on that world?

Also make sure you are using an animal that is killed by hand aka by the player in the world and not taking out the stuff from the creative menu. This is due to the info coming from the live animal not the dead block.

If these things don't solve your issue then please get back in touch.

I just tried it clean vintage and mod install nothing else enabled, and yes the animals are not dropping meat or hides except for boars

Hello,

I believe this mod is no longer compatiable with some mods or no longer working as intended, as it no longer works with the four birds of the more animals mod and none of the animals are dropping anything other than sinew and offal, as well as the pop sound when skinning is done not playing. I was curious as this seems to be a issue only as of 1/20/12

Hello, this mod looks really nice, but 2 questions :

1 - is compatibility with fishing mod planned ?

2 - is your mod working with electricitymod electric blade ?

So, I have a strange issue when using an Advanced Butchering table, if put a skinned Hare on first (and complete butcheirng it) then put a skinned pig/boar on the table, the skinned boar will turn into a hare. (have not tested on other tables). It has happned to me twice so far.

Ooo, this is a good update.

CaptainOats

Are there any plans for doing a compatibility patch for 'The Critters Pack' now that it's being updated?

Maeyanie

Ah you are half correct. My defaults are actually the lowest amount of time but my safety checks (which happen when you are using the hook or bench) are most likely the cause of that.

I have send a message to the person who makes Butchering Expanded Compatibility to put in the butcheringWorkLoad modifer on all their animal files.

Will also see if I can do my safety checks in such a way that still keeps them but doesn't elongate the butchering time for non-updated animals.

The 1.9.0 update seems to have broken Butchering Expanded Compatibility, in that skinning what it adds takes forever (or at least many times as long as a goat, which was how long I was willing to keep the mouse button held down).

I'm going to hazard a guess the new butcheringWorkLoad thing defaults to something very high when that tag's not present?

Grendelbiter

This has just been fixed in the newest update

westerplatter

I can't or don't change any values granularly like that. Also I have been playing in many a server where my mod is installed and not had a problem with getting hides. Small animal are rare to drop hide anyway if you are relying on them.

Tingcat

You should be able to target any part of the hit box of the block. If the issue persists, please do send a screenshot over discord.

meatmobile

Wildcraft Trees are not currently on the list of compatbility todo.

Is Wildcraft trees compat still planned? I tried doing Jesfest's fix for making a meat hook but none of the wood I have access to works.

I figured it out, I was just a dummy trying to carve up a boar I moved. Apparently I need to do it then and there if I want to use just the knife.

meatmobile try targeting each individual block of the butchering table. I'm finding at the moment I need to hold RMB on the rightmost block of the table in order to butcher. I don't know if this is an intended change?

Could you please consider changing the flint hook harvesting ratios. It's OK to only get 80% of meat, fat and bowels but the <100% value causes skin to not be harvested from any animal, which is kind of unfair.

Hi, we noticed that after adding the Butchering mod that the elementals from Rustbound Magic also drop way less loot, is there some way to exclude them from the field dressing penalty? Since you can't butcher them.

CyanSoup

I didn't say it was a mod and I firmly believe it is not on by default. I repeat, it is a half baked feature that causes issues that I don't know how to solve on my box that is very expermental by it's nature.

Ninepppppp

I am working on a setting which will increase field harvesting to 80% instead of 50%. This should help with that issue.

CaptainOats Immersive mouse isn't a mod?
It's vanilla and on by default.

The mod is great and all but not supporting a vanilla feature is insane.

wanted to second the comments of some others on here about reducing the drops for field harvesting. This mod seems really super cool and I'd love to continue to use it if there was a config option to Not mess with drop rates outside of what the mod adds- from what I see in the config files there is no config option for field harvesting rates. RazVonCoon in particular put it really well:

"Rather than lowering the already bad chances of getting good "loot" from harvesting, field dressing should have been left untouched while the butchering method should have simply ADDED to the game giving you a actual bonus for taking the time and effort to drag a corpse home and methodically cutting it on the table. Adding the punishment of little to no drops from field dressing is a unneeded punishment ... I have Killed a BEAR and gotten nothing from it when field dressing it, thats not how reality works.."

I just really wanted to emphasize their words here and second them.

That aside... thank you for this mod, the butchering part itself is wonderfully detailed and i love the added immersion :)

Exletalis

(Missed your comment in the big batch) XSkills only gives Animal Husbandry exp for killing animals not harvesting or butchering them.

KennyNet

That is something I am going to struggle to 'fix' without hijacking base game code but I am going to be looking into more compatibility at some point soon

billyma6

That infomation most likely comes from another mod that extends more information to the player about things, I suspect it's only showing you that because Offal had eddible properties. I have no intention on allowing pigs to eat it.

Seventythird

Just checked on my test world and on a server I'm playing on. It seemed to properly rot on those, but there is a slight visual issue when things rot on the hook because it only calculates the rot when it's held by the player so when taking it off it will rot the full time it's been on the hook even though the texture looks fresh.

KitsuneWitch

Do you have any inventory mods aka ones that change inventory logic?

Pear120

Currently working on a update to change the speeds at which you butcher depending on animal size. e.g. Small animals will take less time to butcher and less durability. Hope this helps!

CoffeeToffee

Do you have Primitive Survial installed? As when they are installed together the meat seems to shift to one side for some reason (maybe it's shy?).

Darkwhip

They are now a configurable option in your mod config folder. Should be in .../appdata/roaming/vintagestorydata/modconfig.

Pandasdontfly

Will have to re-go through all the animal mods and make them compatible again.

AbaturTwujStary

Make sure you are running the lastest mod version and also see about increasing you Texture Atlas size which can be done manually or through a mod (this may fix the issue of textures but if it doesn't then please message again)

Lit_Kale_Chips

if your finding low drop rates make sure you don't have any other animal drop rate mods installed that might be changing/patching values but if that is not the cause then you can alter the config to drop more stuff. Should be in .../appdata/roaming/vintagestorydata/modconfig

thecloudking

Sadly that is how it is for now. It is low on the priority of fixes as it's not gamebreaking. But I will (if I remember) try to look into fixing it for the future.

Urologist

Some animals don't drop their antlers or horns in the harvesting stage as they are suppost to only drop during spring in the wild (they just fall off the creature). This is base game behaivour not a mod issue.

BrotherMorse

Gonna be honest, I got a lot of Fauna Of The Stone Age mods to re-go through so right now 'no' is the awnser but might be something I look into in the future

Sockstrangler

I don't mess with times of calculating freshness, I believe this happens with all liquids in the base game.

Alot harder to do with my current system than you think as I would have to revert it back into an animal (with all it's infomation) then kill it and make it look nice and neat whilst doing so.

Vera101

I prefer the idea of using buckets rather than barrels to collect blood as it feels less place and forget but you do make a good point about the decorative barrels. Gonna have a think on this.

CyanSoup

If you have Immersive mouse mod on then please turn it off as it's an experimental feature that I don't support. If that doesn't fix it or isn't the issue, all I can say is the box is very experimental in it's code and I have no clue really what I'm doing with it.

Just got a crash when opening the Temporal Butchering Box.

Blood does not collect with a barrel if I let a creature bleed out above it, wich is a shame since I made some decorational barrels look like blood drains. Maybe it can be added in the future? If it is a bug, I'm currently playing on 1.20.7 with some friends of mine.

Here’s a suggestion:

How about we add the option to drop the animal back on the ground?

It could let players use two blocks of stone that are one level above them as a “butchering table” or something like that. This would be really helpful for nomad hunters.

Another thing that would be cool is to allow players to carry fish in their inventory. It doesn’t make sense to butcher a fish that’s deep in a lake. This mod seems like the perfect fit for this feature.

Thanks a bunch!

CaptainOats BUG - Blood not calculating freshness when combined with different blood
When pouring old blood in with fresh blood (or vice versa), the freshness of the receiving container does not change.
I believe that blood dripping into a bucket that already has blood also doesn't calculate a new freshness, but I can't say for sure.

If you're still adding Compatability to more mods, I would suggest the LoP (Legacy of the Phanerozoic) series, it adds alot of new creatues both big and small and it would be awesom if you could actually butcher the small dinos.

It says that butchering works with XSkills, but my husbandry skill isn't going up when I use the butchering table. Is there a setting or something I'm missing?

The Antlered animals in question clearly are bearing horns before and after I've killed them once I've skinned & butchered them they drop everything but their horns - I have FotSA mods installed but I dont think thatd be an issue since you've developed capatibility and the ones im talking about all happen to be vanilla! thank you for your mod I love it at the end of the day and only hope for continued development and improvement!

i accidentally picked up a skinned bear carcass from the hook before it was fully bloodlet, and now it won't let me re-hook the skinned bear or put it on the bench :(

Hi I'm playing on 1.20.1, is it normal to only ever seem to get offal? I never get any red meat and only rarely get prime meat on a few select mobs. I know mob weight plays into it and none of the animals feed themselves naturally (The pigs just let themselves starve for some reason) but something really does feel off. I can't really do anything with the offal without meat so it just ends up rotting. Any way to turn up the drop rate for the meats??

After the animal is skinned, its body hanging from a hook becomes invisible. The same after being placed on the butcher's table.

Their textures are only visible when they are held in an inventory and thrown to the ground. Is this related to the "primitive" hook and table?

No longer seems to work on newer version with the FotSA Canines at least

Was the craft for Bone pickaxe head removed ? I can't knapp them for some reasons.

For some reason smoked meats are off center, I assume it has to do with how they are hooked on the smoking rack

CaptainOats Any chance of adding quicker skinning/butchering speeds when using better tools like iron? It's not all that fun to sit and stare at a chicken for a few seconds while I wait to finish skinning it, knowing I've got 10 more hanging on hooks. It's a good speed for flint tools, but once you upgrade, there's no benefit aside from durability.

I'm not sure if someone has mentioned this specific issue yet, but I'm having a strange crash even with the latest version (1.8.2)

basically, the game freezes and times out whenever I try to pick up an animal carcass while I have the wrong inventory slot selected, such as a chicken with a bag slot, or a wolf with a hand slot. If I pick up a carcass with the correct slot however, all is well.

this doesn't happen with fresh bodies however, only ones that I have put down on a table to wait their turn on a hook.

I'm not sure if this a mod compatibility issue, as it happens with vanilla creatures, and I don't have any extra mob mods at all nor anything else that was mentioned.

I would post my mod load order, but I can't seem to find where it saves to.

Awesome mod. Noticed that on my save any animal strung up on a skinning hook, skin off or skin on, will be perishable in 3 days regardless of hwo much time passes. They never seem to rot or reduce the perish timer for some reason so long as they stay on the hook.

Hi, love the mod and great work on it! While butchering some animals I noticed that the guide book says pigs will eat the spare offal that I get (I don't want to make blood sausages), but they can't be inserted into large troughs so that my pigs will eat them. How do I feed them then?

Hi CaptainOats, i really love your mod. I think it adds something primal to the hunting in the game that is just so statisfying. You did a grat Job!
I hope this mod get's added as a mechanic to the base game!

I sadly had to disable your mod, because i realised that animals, like bears from the mod untamed wilds:Ursidae (which i looted the normal way since its incompatible with this mod), didn't drop the same amount of items as they would without the mod installed.
I understand that I can't aks you to make every creature mod that i would like compatible. And knowing this i thought i could just loot Animals from other mods "the normal way".
However it proofed to juste be a too big inconvenience to not get the normal loot.

Might there be a conflict with the feature you described as:

"Lowers the amount of stuff you get from creatures 'standard' way aka 3 second knife right-click on creature method."?

If so would it be possible to only apply the reduction to compatible creatures, so that we could still be able to loot uncompatible creatures with the knife?

Thank you for your time :)

Applogies for the late replys, life and lazyness gets the better of me sometimes.

Instead of going through every comment this time I will try to generally answer the bulk of them here:

Can't pick up the butchering table?

Try having an empty bag slot and use Control key + 1, 2, 3, 4 to select and place it back down like a skep

Compatibility with other/more animal mods?

I will look into this but can't promise that I will be doing more compatibility as it takes time to do so

Horns not dropping after butchering animals?

Antlered creatures never drop their antlers when killed/butchered They only drop in spring at a certain time of year in the wild. This is a vanilla mechanic.

Suggestions or ideas?

Thank you for suggestions or ideas and while I promise I read them all I can't promise I will use them in the mod.

Temporal Butcher box not working?

It's a miracle of the rust god that it works at all most/some of the time so I will mark it as a 'experimental' block.

Thank you all for playing the mod and Happy Butchering,

CaptainOats.

Brodgebeck To pickup the tables you need one free inventory slot, it can only be in there like bagpack / big animals from this mod etc... ^^

hiho i have a problem i cant pick up the tables in version 1.20.9

I just wanted to say thank you for the mod! It's really fun as the main hunter/butcher in our server. I love the aesthetic.

FeverDream This mod work with others Fauna of the Stone Age mods ? :oo Like there is the actual 3D model for the animals and not the other thing ? :o

Oh please, please make this compatible with the Fauna of the Stone Age: Bovinae !!

I want to hang those big stupid Auroch cows on a hook!!!

(I tried making my own patch by making a duplicate of the Rhinocerotidae and then just swapping the rhino names with the cow names, but unfortunately it just doesn't work I'm too stupid)

Hi, I really LOVE your mod ! But I noticed something, I cooked one meat but the 3D model of the meat didn't change when it's dropped on the ground / on the firepit and in my hands, but the icone still good, can you fix that and update all models for every meat and kind of cook please ? ^^ Thx ! <3

Any chance of adding more of the FotSA Animals to Compat?

Love the butchering mechanic but its always a bummer to run into non supported animals

Hello! There seems to be an issue with horned animals not dropping their horns after being skinned I cant tell what would be the cause?

IVolturiI Place it in a bag slot then CTRL 1,2,3,4 to place it

Hi there,

Weird question, just installed the mod but I can't manage to place or even hold a butcher table. 
When I craft a table, I hold it but I can't place it in my inventory or place it anywhere. The only option I have is to drop it on the floor (then it despawns aftwer a while)

ANyone might know why? Thanks in advance!

Hey! love the mod, the healthy prime meat is such a great addition! among all the other things.

I am curious, why only wild "bushmeat" animals are allowed to drop sinew? surely ALL animals have it? I would like goats, sheep and pigs to drop sinew as well.  it's not mandatory, but I don't reaaaally wanna make hide glue nor eager to make the gross pine tar glue.

but if I had a large supply of sinew I'd be happy using that! thanks! 

I saw something in one of the pictures that looked like a cabinet. in addition to the smoking rack, I wonder if there's any interest in expanding food preservation. one idea was a chance to collect ice during winter, [instead of it dropping nothing, I think glacier ice is collectable? so should be easy to add a similar lake or sea ice...and use that to make an "Ice box" of some design? maybe it consumes the ice as "Fuel" but while active, and perhaps within a cellar, it drops the decay rate even further? I personally would love for it to be a complex, late game option that can hold  A LOT of food. like...a multiblock maybe! 

another thought is how crocks NEED a bowl. and I kinda dislike when the crock is empty, and my inventory is full on adventures...that there's the impetus to ditch the crock and bowl and make new ones back home.  I wonder if another option could exhist. maybe it can hold 6 meals or possibly as many as 10. like...a THERMOS if you will. you cook in a crock, and then transfer to the thermos. and take that with you to have a meal. and maybe it works like a bowl where you eat your fill. and the thermos...remembers the portions left.  omg i want this so bad now! and I would be HAPPY if it needed to be made of steel, or something endgame. 6-10 meals in one inventory slot that gave you the meal bonus and lasted about twice the duration of a regular crock would be sooooo good! 

hope you like my brainstorms!

InvaderPork They're not "destroying tools to make them", they contain the tools. You're not trimming the wood with the shears, they are a part of the butchering table process.

Also, is this recent release for all 1.20.x versions? I see 1.20.0 and 1.20.7 listed which is confusing a little. Also HYPE finally possible to use smoked and prime meats!

Butchering tables completely destroying all the tools used to make it seems excesive. Is there a way to reduce that to just take durability? For the primitive butchering table it seems fine for crude tools but the normal and advanced just doesnt seem right.

I wasn't able to put a rabbit on a primitive butchery table. Not sure  if that's a bug or if I HAVE to use a hook for smaller prey.

Hi, I really like your mod, I use it all the time. I'd also like compatibility with "Fauna of the Stone Age: Bovinae" and "Fauna of the Stone Age: Cervinae," or at least a guide on how to make a compatibility patch. I tried to make one but couldn't. Thanks for everything.

Any chance we will get an update for the latest " Fauna of the Stone Age: Bovinae " patch that adds cows and bulls to the game? I really want to start my new beef farm with this mod's mechanics please please please please!

cant put pig or boar on butchering table 

Damn, I read the comments and changed my mind about installing this mod. People are right when they say that mechanics should complement the game, not make it stuffy and make it a second job. Let's add another button that would control the character's breathing manually, otherwise he will die.

I am loving how this mod works into things. It seems to work well enough with the stone age fauna thx to the patch, and the ones that don't, you simply cannot pick them up. Makes sense... a whole wooly mammoth and a wooly rhino would be quite heavy. The ONLY wierd thing is you get the special unique pelt from the animal from the butcher table AFTER you've already skinned the animal. That's literally it! This mod works wonderfully! 

While I am very impressed with the actual butcher mechanic, being able to hang up an animal carcass, skin it, bleed it, then carve it up for it's edible parts etc.

However what sorta ruins it for me is that you can carry several large animal carcasses and bear carcasses at that.

What makes Vintage Story so great for me is that it's rooted in 'reality', obviously not 1-1 but it does have a certain amount of realism nevertheless, that said being able to carry a bear carcass or several bear carcasses even is just too much for me look through the fingers with.

I would love to see a 'realism' variant of this mod where you'd only be able to carry 1 boar or wolf carcass at a time taking up a backpack slot (albeit a maximum of 1 'medium sized' carcass being carried at a time), now obviously you'd be able to carry multiple hare, raccoon or chicken carcasses as they're much smaller and lighter than a boar or wolf so the 'butcher backpacks' would be perfectly suitable for the purpose of carrying several small animal carcasses, while simply have the larger game be it deer, moose or bears be too heavy to carry around.

This mod is very beginner unfriendly. Primitive hook and table have penalties and require access to forest to craft.

Will there be a way to configure the drop rates and a way to return the body to a harvestable one?

Just crashed after butchering a bear with a copper cleaver that has 2 durability points left...

Hello I have been looking for alternative sources of nitrogen and have come across blood meal it apears to be a high nitrogen fertilizer. it may be something you want to look into? this discovery stemmed from wanting a more renewable source of nitrogent for gunpowder lol.

I feel like I've put in enough time to the mod to give useful feedback.  As for the good: the butchering loop reflects Vintage Story at its best—in-world resource manipulation.  It feels good to hang, skin, drain and chop. I especially like the corpse-carrying mechanic; giving up an inventory slot for big game adds meaningful trade-offs when hunting. Top marks there.  "Put big bag in inventory," makes that whole section of the game feel very 'craft and forget' so this minor shift appeals to me.  I like these parts of the mod, I would miss them if they were gone.

However, there are two places it misses the mark: it's a destructive change, and it lacks transparency.  Removing field butchering feels like a step back. Crude butchering in the wild made sense and wasn’t broken. While the new system has its place, it feels like it's forcing its way in.  Rather than being rewarded for participating, you simply have to.  Which compounds the second issue, the lack of feedback can be frustrating. Sometimes, kills yield nothing, with no explanation. I know it has to do with the 'size' of the corpse but there should be fallback item like meat bits or offal.  If the corpse is large enough to skin and bleed, it should have *something* on the bones to scavange.  Engaging with this process and then getting nothing can make hunting feel pointless—especially early game, where resources are scarce and building a table and hunting materials is already a barrier.  If the problem is an over abundance of animals, I feel that can be solved in animal spawns instead: trying to solve that here feels off.

I like the mod a lot, even if that sounds super critical, but I would call it 'ungraceful' in certain areas.  After writing this I noticed this is the same comment RazVonCoon is making so, I agree.

Random question, but in your thumbnail, it looks like you've got your animals hanging above grates. Is that just for aesthetics, or is there a bucket under the grating to catch the blood? I'm very new to the game, so I'm not 100% sure on the mechanics yet.

Is this meant to decrease the drops from drifters and the like? I can't pick them up to use the system, so was wondering.

RazVonCoon I completely agree.

If its just one percent of the time, then its ok. You might eventually find the problem later on. For now its a teachable moment to not use more than 1 temporal gear at a time, and only recharge when it gets close to empty.

Did notice that chicken meat doesnt get the bonus. Neither does the aged meat from some of the mods.

Appolgies for the late responces the internet cable outside my house broke itself over the night a few days a go so had to get an engineer out to fix it.

Spyke1021 Shiftshade

Got that issue worked out on the next patch i'm going to release soon.

DilanRona

The buctherbox is a strange one as it works 99% of the time (aka every time I've tested it) but then seems to break the 1% of times. I might remove it from the mod if I can't fix it which is seeming likely.

Portalgate

Did the animal get killed by something other than a player? As that reduces drops by a massive amount.

FourEyedMutt

Should be fine to install on a pre-existing world but make sure to backup a save first before any modding.

Bleuzenn

I understand the annoyence at the idea of less loot but the mod is speficially designed to remove that ability to quickly harvest things as I feel it is way too easy.

xCoiotex

That shouldn't be something my mod effects.

Corrmac

Glad you worked it out and Happy Butchering!

PinkMellow

This mod doesn't touch the drop rate or harvesting of fish, only land animals at the moment.

CatPlaysGames

As RazVonCoon said the drop rates of animals are dependant on the weight of the animal, weither the animal was killed by a player and/or if the animal is small like a fox or raccoon (those give no pelts basically)

RazVonCoon

Thank you for taking the time to write feedback in a constructive manner, I do really appciate when people tell me their thoughts on what they think of the mod. This is something that has come up many a time and while I firmly believe the field harvesting is way too easy to do in a world where animals spawn indefinetly. Perhaps I will try to look into implementing a config option for a higher drop rate for field harvesting.

Also I also belive that the drop rates of animals are very strange as smaller animals give nothing despite mechinally dropping smaller hides which already is a downgrade from bigger hides.

FourEyedMutt

We installed this mod on a pre-existing game and had no issue so yes it is safe to install in a existing Save.

CatPlaysGames
After alot of random trial and error the skin chance is both based off the hook you use and the Json settings in the modconfig folder. Base drops for alot of things seem to be trash and while the mod says it doesnt change any of that, if you are using the primative hook made out of rock it says specifically that you only get 80% while the copper is 100% and the advanced is 120%. Once you get the copper hook youre chances of getting materials seems to increase, but I would also go into the mod config folder and alter it to make the mod more worthwhile.

Notes to the mod Author CaptainOats: While I Like the idea of a butchery and actually do like the work youve put into this mod, As it stands to me, the whole point of BUTCHERING is supposed to be taking your time to skin a beast for its pelt, then cutting the meat from the bone so that you harvest better cuts and more from a creature. To me atleast, Rather than lowering the already bad chances of getting good "loot" from harvesting, field dressing should have been left untouched while the butchering method should have simply ADDED to the game giving you a actual bonus for taking the time and effort to drag a corpse home and methodically cutting it on the table. Adding the punishment of little to no drops from field dressing is a unneeded punishment as well as the fact that not increasing the ammount of materials aquired for correctly disecting an animal after you killed, carried, skinned, bled and then literally cut it into pieces feels more of a slap in the face and the "the game isnt hard enough" mentality over common sense or just Good Mod design. I use this mod not because I enjoy the idea of starving to death early game because creatures dont drop food when I kill them, but because I enjoy the idea that YES, I expect that when I butcher an animal properly I would be rewarded for it. I have Killed a BEAR and gotten nothing from it when field dressing it, thats not how reality works.. While you dont owe anyone anything and your work here is completely of your own free will which alot of us DO thank you for your effort and time, Please rethink your method of forcing people to use this mod when having it installed versus incentivising them to do so. Early mankind did not have the butchering thing and when they killed large beasts, they still had food, when butchering was an option, they got MORE food. The game already has a low base drop on most animals, Heck the FISH that is MADE of flesh and bone, literally has a 0-1 drop on fillet already... Last time I checked when you fillet a fish theres two fillets, but the Game devs dont seem to understand that...

I love this mod, but idk if its a mod conflict or if im just misunderstanding something but when i skin an animal (on the ground or on a hook) i'm not getting any hides or pelts from it? am i needing a cleaver or better knife? i love this mod it would be very hard to play without it:(

Does anyone know if this mod is safe to install on existing save? 

Have a nice day yall!

This is a super cool mod, but I agree with some others that there should be ability to harvest normally and receive the average amount of meat and maybe get bonus for butchering instead of punishing the player for only being able to harvest normally. I say this because in the world I spawned in the primary food source around me was fish, but because of this mod none of the fish actually dropped any food. It is not realistic for me to kill 6-8 salmon and get NO food from it. It pretty much ended my game before it started :( 

Something strange happened, I cannot craft the hunter backpack and I cannot pickup a butcher table... Do backpack slots mean the same as basket slots? I cannot pickup a ceramic hive either so I think it's something with my inventory. But I do not know why I couldn't craft the backpack, I triple checked that the recipe was right.  EDIT: I didn't CURE the HIDE! x_x  EDIT EDIT: It goes in the slot that the basket goes into. X - X 

dunno if it's this mod, but i can't see the "days left" on some crook with onions and redmeat soup, could be a compability issue with brain freeze, but unsure

Is there a configuration option to raise creature drops back to the standard amounts when harvested the normal knife way? Some players, myself included, would appreciate that if it's a possibility. I play on a server that speeds up a lot of laborious processes, but Butchering stands out in the mod list as one that actively punishes normal gameplay vs applying a moderate bonus when engaging with the system.

Howdy! This mod seems amazing lol, should be a vanilla feature tbh. I was just wondering if it was safe to install in an existing save? Thanks, and have a nice day!

Was the table a regular butchering table or the primitive butchering table, and was the animal in question killed by you, or something like a wolf or bear? If its the latter of the two (primitive butchering table, and animal killed by wolf/bear) the chances of you getting bone only is rather high.

Hi there,

Small issue, when I move the animal to the butching table and hold the knife onto it. I dont actually get anything only the bones appear which I can destroy but I only get a bone. 

Have a box with the temporal butcher box. It is powered by 3-4 temporal gears, with 595 hours left before it runs out. But it is currently powered down, and I cannot get it to power on again. Happened when I logged into the game, and loaded my map. Running 1.20.6 as of yesterday.

Just had the same issue with the cleaver on a low durability

I've run into a bug. When butchering an animal, if doing so would use the last durability of your cleaver, the game crashes.

 im using the 1.8.1 version of the mod on 1.20.6 when i left the comment i was on 1.20.4 love the mod btw gave me a reason to build a butcher shop

@CaptainOats Hello, I'm trying to patch the mod by replacing tools with a tool from another mod, however, for some reason the recipe does not apply to tables. The game crashes with the error that there is no such item. Even after I removed the allowed variations from the recipes, this error still crashes, although there is definitely such an item and it has been replaced for all other crafts and in other mods too. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this?

CaptainOats I notice if I have something one the smoking rack & go to bed, when I return the meat is invisable. Im able to click the rack & get the smoked meat, just dont see it till then.

as of 3/20/2025   the wolf skins are invisable on butchery hooks it is wolfs only that this is an issue with 

The real question is what would you do with one of those elephants from the stone age series? LOL You might need to make something special for an entity that size.

I am currently supporting a few of the mods as listed in the 'Compatibility' section of this page but for further ones I will have to get some more motivation from deep down to continue to support on them as they take time.

SalazarWindriver

I want to make a leather varient first then if I made a sturdy leather one I would most likely shuffle down the amount of slots the excisting bags give you for balance reasons by one.

xCoiotex

Will put it in my to-do list right now and hopefuly get around to it soon. (Better Poultice 2)

PRinceMiilk

Make sure you don't have two versions of the mod in both mod folders but also what version of game and mod are you using?

Eragon2224

I think it might have something to do with the Texture Atlas messing up in vanilla aka too many textures to load. Try downloading the 'Bigger Texture Atlas' mod to see if that fixes it.

Roughgalaxy

And I really like this comment! :)

The only exp you get for animal husbandry is when you kill an animal in combat (or milk something) this is normal Xskills behiavour. This mod doesn't add extra exp as for balanceing reasons and to not mess with how the author of xskills has set up their mod balance.

Narg

It might be compatibile right out of the box depending on how R.Permanent Skin's does their patching or code, I will give it a look but no promises.

Corrmac

I try my best! Thank you.

Greatly Appreciate the compatibility. Also, More Animals was made to be compatible, as well! Cannot wait to make blood sausages!

Love the mod. Did a basic look through the file but not much of a modder and couldnt find any way to configure it myself, think you could add compatabiltity with R.Permanent skin? figured if your taking the time to drag it back and hang it it makes sense to get a guaranteed hide.

XSkills - Works as of 1.8.0 - 18/02/2025
Is it possible I'm doing something wrong?  I'm not getting any Xskill xp from butchering things.

Hi, just wanted to take a quick moment to say I really like this mod. Cheers!

Yes, I have a problem, which is that when I hang the animals on the wall or put them on the butchering table, they look invisible. Why could this be?

for some reason when i click on the butcher table in the handbook it crashes my game and i can figure out why everything else is fine though

Hello CaptainOats, could you make a patch for Better Poltice 2 mod? to use along with primemeat healing, thank you for your attention.

Awesome Mod!

Any chance of a sturdy butchering bag?

First of all, I love your mod! It makes playing as a hunter really entertaining and adds a lot to the whole butchering process.

I just wanted to ask if you have any plans to cover the Fauna of the Stone Age series?

After a short break and some thought provoking comments I've decided to come back to modding with fresh mind. I will try my best not to allow the few rotten apples spoil the barrel so to speak and plan to continue onward!

Will try to address some of the new bugs/features people want in the next update.

Thank you for you patience and understanding

CaptainOats

This generation, man. People need to grow some thicker skin and stop caring about meaningless insults from random strangers on the internet. Did your mothers never teach you the phrase "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me"?

That being said, while I disagree with all the whinging about mean words on the interwebs I do have to applaud your efforts on the actual mod itself. It's very well-done and adds a lot of immersion to a game that already offers a lot of immersion, so thank you for that. I hope one day you'll realize that words have no power over you except that which you give them, learn to just tell shitbirds to do a backflip off the nearest bridge and go on about your day because in the grand scheme of things, "toxic" people don't matter and they're not worth giving the time of day. Best of luck.

Any chance we could get a compatibility fix for Smoked Plain Meats to work with Expanded Cooking recipes?

Hey! First of all, I wanted to say that I am loving your mod. I'm playing a butcher/tanner in a little village of my friends, and it adds so much to the game, so thank you!

Second, I wanted to mention a small compatibility issue. Currently, butchering using your method is not giving experience for the Husbandry skill from XSkills. It's not gamebreaking by any stretch, but it would be nice. Do you know if the perks from XSkills are currently improving the yields of your butchering method?

Hi, would you be willing to make and is it possible to make blood be colected directly into barrels, without the need for barrels?

Is there any chance the Prime meat will be made compatable with cooking recipies.  Like pie or stews?

Thank you for all your work and sorry that the moderation team has sided against the people being verbally abused, I hope things turn out for the better.

I fully agree with you Oats. The nasty comments are childish and quite frankly exhausting and this minor incident was moderated poorly. My heart goes out to G3rste, Vies, you, and others who have to deal with this same sort of BS. Honorable mention to Maltiez (who SEEMS to be taking it in stride), for having to deal with his own vile commentor right now. Shameful stuff really.

Then seeing these same truly awful human beings brigade the official discord with what was surely alt accounts so they could spew false accusations and have a temper tantrum was nothing short of disgusting. It brings me one step closer to leaving this community as well.

On a much more positive note - I'm thankful for getting to know you, and have the greatest respect for what you've achieved here. Know that you are among friends.

In light of recent events and the actions of the moderation team in the aggressive stance they have taken with other modder Gerste, I no longer feel safe modding within a community that offers little to no shielding from harmful and harsh comments that have increased with the popularity of the game.

The implementaion of a mod ban list while seeming harsh is the currently only way we can punish people who can spew the most toxic and vile comments. While I agree that crashing the game is concidered overboard (which Gerste himself would of removed had he been contacted privately) instead the moderation team publicly shamed him with a comment that PetAI was not to be downloaded due to it having a malcious code and it was to be removed otherwise 'further action' was to be taken.

I stand by Gerste in having a mod ban list but not in the crashing of the game.

I spend many hours working on mods for free for the community and have in the past been subject to vile comments that frankly caused my mental health to suffer. Do you think it's acceptable to defend and allow such people to continue to spout such things to other mod authors? I for one, do not. I would like to ensure this community as it grows doesn't grow ever more toxic as these things get swept under the rug.

What I would like to see is more moderation tools and efforts to assist modders defend themselves against such attacks.

I am taking a break from modding.

Neither the commands provided or changing config values fixed the all-white texture of my amaranth bloodbread when placed on shelves.

Is there any way to disable prime meat? Seems like it doesn't really integrate with other recipes well so I'd want it out of the loot table.

Hey, bumped into a small bug with making fat from prime meat - if you make fat in a regular cooking pot, the fat will appear in the ingredients slot when the cooking finishes. If you sprint-click the new messy cooking pot to get it into your inventory instead of removing the fat first, the fat will disappear. Not sure if this is replicable in other conditions since I lost 24 prime meat in survival and I'm less enthused to test more broadly. Mod's great otherwise!

What versions of the prime meat can we exactly use to make stews/soups or cook in general? I got the smoked and cured stages and I can't use them anywhere. Is it just to eat at this point?

Butchering Tables go into backpack slots due to balancing like a skep does.

If textures are invivisble/not showing up try:

run these two commands in game (and then restart your game):

.clientconfig maxTextureAtlasWidth 8192
.clientconfig maxTextureAtlasHeight 8192

or 

2. Edit your %AppData%/Roaming/VintagestoryData/clientsettings.json file and change these two settings to something like:

"maxTextureAtlasWidth" : 8192,
"maxTextureAtlasHeight" : 8192,

If this doesn't work then please comment again.

Any animal mod that I don't support simply allows you to harvest those animals normally and doesn't break/change anything. So it should be safe to add but make sure you backup your worlds like any modded run.

FRAUD

Do you have Fishing 2 installed because that breaks alot of things and is a known incomaptibility. I have no idea what other mod it could be. If you have discord please message me your mod list on there. Or here if you don't

Animal carcasses have "ghosts" of them left behind when picked up, big animals that have to be picked up in the storage slots don't drain of blood (it gets stuck at 00:00, and does not change, exiting the world makes them disappear entirely) as well as big animals not giving any hide at all (a whole bear fails to give any hide..?)
On game version 1.20.4, mod is latest (1.8.1)

If i were to add an animal mod not yet compatible, does that break anything? Or are they simply not subject to the mod's changes? Like, FotSA bovinae or eliphantidae, they're not yet listed as compatible. When these animals die, are they unharvestable, or do they just act as normal instead of being butcherable?

This may be obvious, but out of caution I'm asking to be safe from breaking anything.

Bloodbread texture appears all white when stored on shelves.

1. When in creative mode I open the inventory and go to the butchering tab, I grabed the butchering table but it won't let me put in to my hotbar, also when I toss it on the ground to pick it up it disapears. 
2. When in survival mode it is still craftable but as soon as I pick up the output(butchering table) it disapears as well.

DarkThoughts

Once it's an item you can't field harvest it. As to why, please look at the Q&A on this page

GrimGrom

Thank you for the info!

DecaByte

Ah okay, good to know. Not sure if I can put comments in a Config file but will have a look.

Briccars

At what point do they turn into bones? I assume when you kill them? Then I doubt it's anything to do with my mod as the only time I touch their code is when you pick them up. Also do you have any other Butchering mods/Hunting mods?
