I know you usually refer to field dressing as butchering in the field but have you considered adding actual field dressing as in removing the guts from the animal in the field. It could make the corpse slow you less and make it rot slower.

Another cool mechanic would be quartering where you could cut a larger animal into quarters with a saw. This could allow the pieces of a large animal to be put into normal inventory slots, but resulting in lower yields when you actually get it to a butchering table.

Awesome mod regardless, should be added to Vanilla honestly.

This is my number 1 mod, i dont play the game without it. 
Thanks for another update !

Hey! I was curious, is this mod compatible with 1.22.2? It seems that everytime i hang up an animal on a skinning rack, it just lies there like its on the ground and the moment i try to skin it, the game crashes. Did i miss a mod or is it the game version?

Abra_The_Cadabra they come up for me when flint knapping, might be a mod conflict 

Why is there no way to make Flint skinning hooks? I see the item exists in the handbook, but it can't be knapped from flint.

Not a big issue, just some info: the compatiblity patch for the caninae mod is having an issue that I traced to them changing a folder path and now no longer matches the patch.

This mod has seriously become one of the real heavy hitter, must have mods for me.

Thank you very much for updating it! 😊

AzieFrost The Tables need to be placed in your backpack slots, not your basic hotbar, same as animal carcasses. They can then be placed by holding (whatever button you have mapped to crouch)+mousewheel over to your backpack slots

I have built a primitive butcher table but i cant actually pick it up to place it

i tried in survival after making it but it wont let me place the crafted block into my hotbar and i tried in creative same thing

Awesome, thanks for the update! 

I was using oak boards, copper plate x2, and brand new copper knife, shears, and cleaver. It wasnt working for some reason.

A quick "fix" for using meteoric iron for the hook recipes could be the "Meteoric Iron to Regular Iron" mod - https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/43121

Might look a bit like cheating though, since meteoric iron is easier to obtain than regular iron... ;)

@CaptainOats Thanks for that. Should have figured it was an error of my own creating. 

A bit late but thanks, i'll try out your mod, seems just the right thing

VonAurum it can be placed... in fact you have to place the butchering table from the backpack slot and use it like a normal station to actually get the effect (backpack slot is only for carrying). Personally I would prefer if it was even more limiting (like not being able to move it at all but instead having to deconstruct and construct at the destination)

A bit of feedback on the Primitive Butchering table. Why can't this be placed? Is it only allowed in a backpack slot? I can't even put it in a storage container when I'm done with it? I just have to discard it? I don't understand what the thinking is here. It's an early game item, and no one has backpack space to spare in the early game. It doesn't make sense to put an entire butchering table in a backpack slot. Not a good design overall. We should be able to simply place the primitive butchering table and use it like a normal station.

Hey there,

Should be possible to add compatibility with Feverstone Wild to 1.22 ? :o
I saw Feverstone Horse, but not the main mod

I would be great

Amazing mob by the way.

Jadesy this is something that is coming with 1.23, the mod should still work okay even with the warnings! Its just the game saying hey this hasnt been done yet, please do it, for right now. Once 1.23 is out, then smithing recipes will be broken if they push out that error

Hello, I run a dedicated server for VS. I'm testing 1.22.0-rc.10 with this Butchering mod.

There are console output warnings regarding smithed items needing a unique ID. Here is an image of the output. https://imgur.com/a/3nrv5AI

CaptainOats In response to your question to me:

I did notice the compatibility with the dumplings and pemmican, which I find really cool!
I guess my idea is having an alternative for the smashed meats/nuggets. 

I know for them, they have slightly higher saturation than normal redmeat and have other recipes associated with those specifically. I know that overall primemeat has a higher saturation over even those.
I guess what would be neat is a similar 'smashed/nugget' for primemeat so that it can be used in those recipes as well.

I WILL say, as typing this and looking at a few items, I didn't fully realize that you can get redmeat still from animals. I may have jumped the gun here completely. But I appreciate you hearing me out at least.

Still loving the mod. Really immersive. It looks great, too! Love the hanging animal models.

I have a suggestion: some kind of blood... trough? I guess? Something you can hook up under *all* your hooks that kinda funnels blood. Maybe straight into a barrel? I feel really advanced with my high-tech upgraded hooks and bench, but I'm still manually slinging buckets like a chump.

Edit: 1337'th comment! Leet. I mean neat.

Just tested with only Butchering enabled and saw the same behavior.

HobbitArtisan Ancient_King CarltonWanks

Crash now should be fixed in new patch I just put out.

Tegotia

I need to relook at what is still compatible and either redo them or drop it from the list of compatibility.

Also would like to report the hook crash. Was smithing some hooks from Butchery and crashed on picking them up. Can't put my save into a state where this isn't happening on loadup unfortunately so waiting for a fix there.

Hooks cause a crash when held in Tongs.

Experienceing a crash caused by AttributeRenderingLibrary

Seems to be related to Butchery so im commenting here too, Crash is repeatable & happens when I have tongs in my offhand and place Butchery hooks in my main hand

Doing some 1.22 testing and noticed a compatibility error with FotSA Caninae, Machairodontinae, and Sirenia. I also saw a similar issue with the Blood Trail mod so I suspect it's either something that FotSA changed or something to do with the 1.22 entity changes. Log entries below. The other FotSA mods that are updated for 1.22 seem to work fine, though.

OMG, couldn't ask for a better birthday present 😍

Thank you SO much!

herbemoji

It most likely is another mod that isn't mine or Wool doing that.

CrucialSlimm PeacefulPlayer

Bump. Also you can follow mods on here I believe which will notify you of a new release.

Happy Butchering!

YEESSSSS!!! One of the most important mods I've been waiting on before a serious 1.22 playthrough! Thank you so much for your hard work.

BUTCHERING ON 1.22 YIPPIE YIPPIE YIPPIE YIPPIE!

CaptainOats That's great news I've got my butchering cellar ready to roll in 1.22, really looking forward to a release of some kind. This is my favourite mod, and I appreciate your time 

Cant wait for the 1.22 test, love this mod and sad to find out its not ready for it after i decided to switch. 

Bump me when its done!!

CaptainOats Ah, my bad. A couple people down below mention things like rabbits dropping charcoal when harvested with the Wool mod installed, and on the Wool mod page the author mentions its probably a compatibility issue between the mods. 

I'll try and remember to just test it myself and see if it's still an issue.

DEV NOTE

Update coming soon for the 1.22 stable or maybe late RC's

Nictis

Only the animals that this mod targets aka adds it's behaviour too gets effected by the loot loss. So monsters do not get effected.

MalusTenebra

I wanted to try to keep the amount of new items that this mod adds lower because of compatibilty issues with other mods.

Unhearted

I do want to add bone broth but I noticed a number of other mods doing it so might hold off but we shall see.

MuskyMouse

I think you might be mistaking this mod for another one.

Arthopleura

I believe this other mod might help with that? https://mods.vintagestory.at/butcheringmatcompat I am not associated with the mod creator but thought it might work for you.

MedicBot

Not currently no and I doubt I would add that as people would riot.

Nilsson

Will be out soon with a unstable/test version

Kirknay

What they say and what they do are separate things, i've been burned by jumping in too early before but I am getting a version ready soon for release as the game stables are mostly all out.

mattiwarror Purhnicus PeacefulPlayer

Sorry but I currently don't support 1.22 but will soon have a test version of the mod out for 1.22.

DefactoToast

If I were to add bags to mounts it would be to the elks first. But is something I want to do.

herbemoji

This mod, to my knowledge, has never been incompatible with the Wool mod. You are the first to mention this. 

Sudoku_Master

While I don't mind you looking or testing bug fixes on your end, I am still working actively on this mod and the mod is under an all rights reserved copyright so would ask to not distrubute forks or copies of the mod. Thank you for your understanding.

RandomKitten

I've not heard of this bug before other than the occasional desync, could you send me a list of your mods over discord?

I have an issue on my server where frequently I butcher a creature on the table and nothing drops. When I disconnect and reconnect, the creature is back on the table whole, and butchering it again provides the expected drops. It also sometimes doesn't drop anything when I skin a creature - when I take the creature off the hook and put it back on, its skin is intact and I can skin it again and get the expected drops. Other players on the same server are having the same issues.

Server: The Shadow Realm, 1.21.6

Sudoku_Master Thats amazing. You should look at creating a fork of the mod here. I've been seeing it a lot for mods that don't appear to be getting updates anymore. Your english is great. You read like a regular speaker. Cheers!

Hey guys!
Found three bugs during my playthrough (crash on killing new mobs, carcass placement glitch, and the knife breaking bug).
Managed to fix them all (to the best of my ability, I’m self-taught).
Happy to drop my mod's .dll if anyone's interested!
Sorry for my english, i'm from Belarus...
(ノ_<。)

Anyone know if this is still incompatible with the Wool mod?

It really is a great mod. 💯

to those asking about crashes. (for Vintage Story 1.21.6) 
its not even close to being  up to date for 1.22
it started crashing the second 1.22 unstable came out so i removed it. amazing mod. i wish it was up to date but its a persons passion. not a requirement 

same bug as Purhnicus, crashes skinning a black bear at the point it would drop the skin. 1..22rc6

I got a bug when I tried skinning a 1.22.rc6 gray boar model and it caused a crash as soon as it would've dropped its skin from the hook. Also, After updating to VS 1.22.0‑rc.6, the Butchering mod crashes every time I try to process a carcass. The error says the mod is calling DamageItem() , which seems to have been removed in the new version. Just wanted to report it in case an update is needed.

any way you would be willing to add butcher bags for the draconis dragons?

hi, recently the game has been crashing and i can't figure out why (i know i'm using 1.22-rc.6 and i know it's unstable), i've attached the crash report if you can figure it out and fix it i'd be very happy because i find this mod very well done and thinnk it should be implemented

Any intentions to update this for 1.22? I realize it's still in the RC stages, but they did specify that all changes on the backend are done and they're just bugfixing now.

update pls this mod is  peak....

Is there a way to disable field butching loot altogether? 

hi CaptainOats, some mods add new wood type, and thoses cannot be used for crafting recipes in your mod (i'm thinking specifically of floral zones mod, after i had issues with poplar log) .

I have no idea what you can do about it, nor if you can do anything, but i though it would be better to report rather than staying silent.

otherwise great mod, thanks for your work

any chance at larger stretching frames? it feels a bit silly to have a bear pelt on the frame and have it be a little rabbit sized pelt. otherwise great mod

I Love your mod !
It would be nice to be able to use the strong bones for Bone Broth.

CaptainOats
Hey there, I'm not sure if it's been mentioned before but I think the way you get a lump of fat is pretty wasteful and a little disappointing. The entire mod is amazing though, you've done an awesome job!!!

Anyway, just my two cents on a minor adjustment;
prime meat clearly has fat on it's trim, right? so instead of wasting two pieces of meat to get a single lump of fat, I think it would be way better to combine 1 prime meat with a knife in the crafting table to get 1x trimmed prime meat and 1x fat chunks.
2x fat chunks crafted together = 1x lump of fat.
trimmed prime meat acts the same as regular prime meat, just with a little less satiation.

thoughts?

I've just always been disappointed that fat is like gold for early lighting and I have to sacrifice the super tasty meat to trade it off for just one piece.

I'm not very familiar with anything on backend for VS, so apologies if this is a dumb question, but does the reduction to field harvesting only affect the animals that you can pickup and butcher through this mod or is it a reduction to all field butchery? Does it impact monster loot as well?

I'm having a similar issue to Mrozak, when I skin animals i rarely ever get the skin, but that could just be luck. The bigger issue is that I ONLY ever get Offal and Prime meat, never any of the vanilla drops like regular redmeat and fat that I need for lamps, unless I field harvest.
I tried disabling alot of the associated mods that could conflict, like Primitive Survival and Expanded Foods to no luck.

Edit: Nevernind. Loaded up a creative world and skinned a boar on a copper hook, got fat first try. Maybe I just got really unlucky with my primitive hook in my survival world, I only skinned 3 foxes and a small chicken on primitive tools so possibly.

Apologies if this isn't permitted or is considered rude, but I threw together a simple compatibility mod to enable the use of modded wood and stone in the Butchering grid recipes.  I mostly made it for myself, but I thought other people might find it useful.

Butchering Materials Compatibility

Is it me or is it weird that using blood for bread dough increases the grain nutrition instead of adding in more protein?
Don't know if this is intentional but the fact that blooddough gives you bread with nearly 2x the saturation kind of feels a bit busted.

can you add a config that makes red meat animals drop sinew? (all animals have tendons...)

I am sure Salty could fix it, but the fix is changing the recipie groups you have to other numbers to avoid a conflict when that or other alt-crafting-style mods refrence them

Example from Bloodsausages: "recipeGroup": 11,

When I hang meat on the smoker hooks and smoke it everything is fine until its done and then the meat becomes invisable. It looks like there is nothing on the hooks but if I right click I get the meat. I thought it was a graphics bug and someone suggested it might be the atlas size problem but I changed the atlas settings in client config to 8192 and it still happens. It doesn't matter what kind of meat, even the sausage made from offal does it. Its VS 1.21.6 running on a linux server. Primitive Survival, Better ruins, Better Traders, Ancient Dungeons, Extra Info are the other mods running. I'll need to play a bit in single player and see if its happening there but its happening to everyone on the server

CaptainOats

It was not happening before. Like Killed animals would be picked up infinitely. Need to test for conflicts though. Also I was using Carry On at the time as well.

DEV NOTE:
MY NEW PC IS HERE AND SET UP BUT I NEED TO REDOWNLOAD AND SETUP MY DEV ENVIROMENT. ANY UPDATE WILL TAKE ME A LITTLE LONGER RIGHT NOW.

Dragonchampion

I will most likly add a place 4/take 4 hotkey in the future but not a full fill/take

KreyT13

How so, I am playing on a server and it seems fine? What part is duping?

McNeighyard

I will do in the future but I had lost motivation for a little while but slowly getting it back now.

Mrozak

Glad it got worked out in the end.

cams_sten8351

Honeslty the reason why Sinew was confined to bushmeat creatures was ease of understanding and sort of 'gamefiying' the drops to better balance what you get. As if you could farm one single animal and get everything then it would break what I'm trying to do within the mod.

MortPheus

In testing I was able to get it out with a bucket? What version are you running both game and mod?

KPaXz

I will try to fix those two things in 1.22 but it might take me a while due to just getting a new pc after breaking my old one.

Ferrona_Vael

Not for the forseeable future as I want the process to be hands on and not super automated.

MiraLeaps

I have no clue about radial crafting (as i don't use it) but it sounds like a problem on their end?

Venkyz

I think I might of messed up the values when putting in the bone arrows. It's on my list for the next release which most likely will be 1.22 (maybe)

Noticed the mod has a patch for Combat Overhaul, but the values seems to not follow the philosophy of CO, Bone Arrows are supposed to be between Flint and Copper Arrows, but this mod makes Bone Arrows be Tier 0 Damage and have 5 Damage, while to be within the CO progression, it should have Tier -1 and have 3 Damage, since both Flint and Copper has Tier -1 and Flint has 2 damage while Copper has 4 damage. The way it is right now it makes the arrow too strong, for comparison Bronze in CO has Tier 0 and 4 Damage.

The other thing is related to the animation, when using the Bone Arrow it will have this gap between the arrow and the player hand, which doesn't happen in any other arrow.

Minor, rare alignment crash/error/break found and fixed:

When using Expanded foods, Butchering, and radial crafting.... using radial crafting to do certain things, like cut veggies in this case, can cause a soft or full crash. The issue seems to have been rooted in how RC reads recipe groups and that butchering and EF are using the same groups for some stuff, I edited the recipe json files in butchering to just add 10 to the groups listed (eg 1 becomes 11) and it fixed the crash/issue. Wanted to pass that on.

Is there plans to make barrels compatible with the skinning process. It can be slightly tedious to change buckets every couple critters.

My problem with no skin drops when skinning is now SOLVED.
I do not know what was causing it, but i think there may be a bug in either Real Meat or Config lib, which was causing some "desync" between Real Meat values shown in the mod config GUI and what was actually being used - something is wonky there, because reverting to defaults did not revert to defaults, and even reloading values from config file did not change any of the displayed values (i set different values, didn't save, reloaded config, and they didn't change back to what should have been the values in config).
Anyway... after messing with the mod config for a while, it suddenly started to work.
It is also possible that i did something wrong, but i do not know what could that be.
In any case, problem is fixed now.

smoking sausage does not render on anyones screen accept for the person who placed it on the rack. also after the sausage finishes they sometimes turn invisable to the player that placed them on the rack
1.21.6

there is a bug in 1.21.6 over 100+ mods that causes blood particals to continue to drip from the hook with nothing on it

Hey! I love your mod, it's one of my essentials. I just have one question: I can't seem to get the tendon glue out of the pot.

Using a bowl or a jug doesn't work, and when I pick up the pot, it empties it. :/

I can't play without this mod, it adds so much to the immersion imo

However, I just cant understand why sinew is only dropped by bushmeat animals????  I play with conquest stone expansion + a compatibility mod and i can barely do any copper tools at this point. I'm this close to just fiddle with the json files to add sinew to butsheringrewards of the other animals (i have no idea what im doing) or just dropping conquest tbh

Game 1.21.6, mod version 1.12.0.
After skinning 7 wolves and 2 brown bears, i got NO skin from any of them.
Then butchering one wolf (didn't do any of the others yet), gave me 2x Bloody Offal and 2x Wet Sinew, absolutely NO meat, NO fat, NO bones.
Is something broken, maybe some other mod interfering, or is this "normal"?

I am confused, because i saw several people asking similar questions and getting answers like "yeah, works as intended" - but that would be insane, right?
I mean i just "skinned 9 large animals" - i skinned them, meaning there had to be a skin in the first place, so if the skin is not on the animal now, where is it?
Surely drop of these obvious things like skins and bones aren't meant to be random?


EDIT: Tested in Single Player with exactly the same mods as on server, and i get the skin everytime i skin a wolf.
Out of more than 10 tries, i got the skin every time (3 times i even got 2x skin), and i also got fat almost all the time (2 times nothing, 4 times 2x fat).

So i guess it is a MP server issue, or maybe more likely something wrong with the server/mod configs.
Any ideas as to what mod-setting could be responsible?
I thought maybe the Real Meat, so i cranked all drops to the max, but it didn't change the drops i get from this mod when skinning/butchering.
Then there is the Primitive Survival, so i will look at its config, but other than that i have no more bright ideas.

Love this mod and how useful it is, but I would love it if there was more use to products like offal.

For example, cuts of offal like the liver, lungs, tounge, etc. could be salted/cured, cooked, or processed in some other way than just cleaning for sausages & pies.

I can't craft the Primitive Butchering Table and I can't figure out why.  I suspect it might have something to do with the fact I have Toolsmith installed and it's not seeing that the tools are the correct ones.

Currently Incompatible with 1.21.6 build of Carry On.

Causes duplication somehow.

CaptainOats, can you please add the ability to Ctrl+Click and completely fill a Smoking Rack with one click? It'd be much appreciated. If you could also do it before releasing your 1.22 version, that'd be even more amazing!

Kiriyon

Wilderlands disables fllint hooks. Specifically, it's part of the "Wilderlands Tweaks" mod. If you're not using that mod then I don't know why else the recipe would be missing for you.

Peak game balancing

CaptainOats
You could always just make the hotkey additional, keep right click functionality for when it works but have a bindable hotkey that performs the same action incase of conflict.

Neochiken

Sadly I'm not sure the functionality your desribeing is going to work. I might assign a hotkey but that would also confuse a lot of people who have been using the mod until now.

gndrneutralnoun

Patches are absoulutly fine to do and upload, though when 1.22 drops you would have to update them if I change anything major (which I most likely won't but just warning you).

I understand; I respect the vision you have for the mod, and appreciate your willingness to consider my request.

Would you be averse to me creating a patch I would upload on the modDB that implements the changes to carcasses I requested as being a config? 

CaptainOats
thank you for all the hard work! I wonder if a fallback could be made for a blanket compatibility that just scans for the tag or keyword corpse and makes it swap for a dummy item with a drop table copied from the original corpse.
You also might consider assigning a hotkey to picking up corpses instead of just right click, this would make it so that interaction conflicts like with feverstone horses could be resolved by the user.

DEV NOTE
MY PC IS BROKEN RIGHT NOW AND A NEW ONE IS ONE THE WAY, I HOPE TO HAVE IT WITHIN 2 WEEKS

Also I replyed to more people but accidently went a page back on my browser and lost all those replys. I am sorry for the shorter list of replies.

gndrneutralnoun
Applogies while I understand partilaly the issues you might face with certain game mechanics I am going to have to say that I most likly won't be adding such config options, not due to diability aversion but rather the mod is meant to be harder and was designed to be more challanging. Maybe one day I will add some more config option but not for now.

Also Will look into the FoTSA compatibility

Flashtoo

Only issue with every animal from FOTSA I add detailed drops to bloats the mod by alot. Which would impact performance overall on the user. So I really don't want to be so specific with what drops what.

Vyesnaa

Might need to relook at the compatiblity of that mod.

Chaospockets109

Once 1.22 hits and I update the mod with newer aniamls and stuff I can go back and potentially add such things but time is needed.

Sheoman

Sadly I can't make that bug go away untill 1.22 and everbody start anew because I do know about it affecting servers that are upgrading in this current game version.

Further notes on FotSA compatibility: I've noticed some animals that are treated as larger or smaller for Butchering purposes than they actually are. A full list is difficult to make because FotSA adds so many new species, but I have definitely noticed things like all penguins (Spheniscidae) being treated as being the same size when the Emperor and King penguins are much bigger, the Tasmanian nativehen from FotSA:Casuariidae being treated as a Medium creature when it's actually so small it doesn't even have edible meat on it (only feathers and blood), and foxes in FotSA:Caninae being Medium instead of Small. I would make size-correction patches myself, especially for the vasious FotSA creatures that replace existing vanilla creatures, but I'm too new to modding to know how :(

That said, all the FotSA mod pages do list exactly how big and heavy all their animals are in the Stats tables as well as their drops, so that'd be a point of comparison for figuring out which shapes to use and what the butchering workload should be.

Loving the mod, awesome work! I love that it makes hunting for food more engaging and rewarding, fits in nicely with vanilla (although some recipes seem a little ingredient intensive) and combines really well with Blood Trails. One request I'd make is to make items from the mod (sinews, strong bones, offal etc) surface-storable, but other than that, great stuff. 😁👍

There seems to be an issue with Feverstone's Horses. Was able to kill a horse and put it onto a primitive hook. The timer said about 2 hours so I went to go do other things. Came back a day later and had no option to take it off of the hook. Broke the hook and tried again with another piece (this time watching it) and it still would not let me grab it. I left it for a few more days and was never able to grab it as it kept bleeding. Got a rabbit and it gave a prompt to place it on the hook; causing the horse meat to disappear. 

The problem that gndrneutralnoun is experiencing with moas is also happening to me with female pangolins (Manidae). There may be other animals having issues as well, could be worth checking the FOTSA patches in general.

Btw, I'm having the same issue someone else mentioned where dinonirthidae are unskinnable - specifically female dinornithidae, the Island Giant Moas. I took a peek in the json files and it appears to be because there isn't a "butcheringWorkLoad" defined for them! I'm going to try to manually change it and see if that fixes it. Edit: Changing it did indeed fix it.

First of all: AWSOME work! I freaking love this mod. It brings so much immersion, and I love being our hunter and butcher. Thank you so much and please keep it coming! :D

But sadly we are running into an error.

We are trying to update our existing world, and have only unskinned chicken on some flint and copper hooks, and the game is crashing on version 1.21.6 and mod version 1.12.0 with the following error.

Looks to me, as if tries to spawn blood droplets even tho nothing is skinned and that seems to fail. Maybe it has something to do with SkellyBuns bug?

edit: There are skinned bunnies on some hooks (iron), which don't get rendered after the update. So it seems to be another bug.

Okay: just FYI: Fixed it. It seems to be a problem with the skinned rabbits on hooks.

We downgraded to the old version (1.20.12) and let the babbits bleed out completely, chopped them up, removed everything from hooks and upgraded again.

Works like a charm! Sorry for bothering you with all of this.

Would you perhaps maybe add a config option that disables the thing where big carcasses take up a backpack slot or need a specific kind of backpack? Inventory management is the bane of my existence for disability reasons and it really puts a damper on this otherwise amazing mod.

PLEASE add compatibilty to chiseltools, decorative firepit doesn't work with the smoking rack 😭

edit: NEVERMIND, the firepit must be DIRECTLY (1 block) below the smoking rack

Any chance of a compatibility patch with AmethystZhou's Split Hides And Pelts mod? I tried installing that and it broke my butchering table :( I was still able to place skinned animals onto the table but actually doing the butchering caused no meat/fat/bones to drop, and instead placed an invisible animal corpse into my inventory that caused problems with being able to pick other items up.

Also applies to Lodeclaw's Cut The Fat which I'm not using because I hear there's compatibility issues with Butchering, but I would if I could.

i have a bag (reed butchering bag with 3 spaces avaiable.) i cannot pick up the primitive butchering table. what do i do?

Hello author, there's a bug where after smoking your meat on the rack, the meat disappears. Probably a texture bug conflicting with another mod as the meat itself can still be retrieved from the rack but I can't pinpoint it exactly.

found a bug with skinning hooks, dripping blood even when theres no animal carcass hanging from them

wondering if theres a compatibility issue with toolsmith since i cant craft the primitive butchering table with the tools crafted with it

Digirigawa Firepit burning speed is vanilla and depends on 1. is the fire still heating up and 2. is the fire heating something. If it's empty (not heating anything) and at maximum temperature (700°C for Firewood) only then does fuel consumption slow down to I think 1/4 or 1/3. That's entire vanilla.

i noticed the bone arrows arnt compatable with combat overhaul, has anyone made a patch to make them work with the mod?

I seem to be having a bug where i made some glue that had hardened in the pot and when i went to take it out i couldn't, I tried melting it back to its liquid state and the glue began to duplicate. I eventually removed the pot from the fire and the glue then disapeared altogether. Other than that i've seen no issues myself, great mod!

when smoking bush meat, the fire below sometimes burns at regular speed instead of "smoking" speed. My first batch smoked okay, but when filling next one and campfire went out, new firewood started to burn too fast. Using v1.12.0.

I feel you should have a config to disable field harvesting instead if nerfing it

I'm running CO and the bone arrows are the most powerful arrow available, at 5 damage instead of the 4 from normal arrows up to steel.

They don't add a combat tier like the CO arrows do but I'd still rather hunt with a 5 damage arrow instead of a 4 damage plus 3 damage tiers arrow, as it won't matter with animals.

Is that intended or is the compatibility lacking?

JohnyCy I can tell you that it's not Butchering causing the problem, as I use it with Draconis and have never had an issue collecting the eggs. Did you remember to actually "kill" the nest first so it can be harvested?

I can't collect dragon eggs from draconis mod and I think the butchering mod is the problem. Is there some way to fix this? Greatings Jonathan

Mod works (from limited testing) on v1.22.0-pre.2. There is a visual bug where the bodies don't hang properly off of the skinning hook.

Hey loving the mod so far, giving so much more depth so what's normally a mundane action, i was wondering if works with the Wool and More mod?

Just letting you know since I haven't seen anyone else mention it: FOSA Caninae is no longer compatible. The dev for FOSA updated the mod's file structure to match Vanilla, but the patch in your mod still tries to call the old structure (/entities/land) instead of the new one (/entities/animal/mammal).

Another compatibility issue - the mortar and pestle from Ancient Tools cannot grind dry sinew.

Just wanted to chime in and say it says feverstone horses are compatible but in current version they are not. Can not be picked up in a butcher bag or bag slot.
Edit: I dont believe the JSON is incorrect I think the petting behavior added by feverstone horses is overriding the right click to pick up

FotSA Casuariidae still has a compatibility issue - the Tasmanian Nativehen (rallidae) is a chicken-sized bird but can't be carried in a normal inventory slot like other small animals, it takes up a bag/basket slot like a medium or large animal and transforms into a big shank of meat when picked up/hung up/put on table. Then when butchered it drops small bones.

EDIT: Also applies to the goose from the same mod.

It would be a nice tweak if smoking racks could attach to each other. Currently theyre directional, so when you have two racks next to each other they have to attach to opposite sides of the hearth, making them misaligned and the smoking objects point opposite directions

Is the temporal Butcher Box still buggy and deactivated? I can't find a recipe

Thank you so very much for your time and effort for the 1.12.0 update. :)

Musk ox corpses turn into white "large goats" when picked up, and that bothers me!

graccianno

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

Rixtz

Yes hunter's bonus does effect the drop rate of animals on the hook and bench

CapitalVices

I don't think I can do that as the only reason the heat source acts that way is because it's funcunality is that of a firepit. Without extending the firepit class within the transfer sections I can't really do that.

JugoftheNautings

Place a firepit 1 block below the smoking rack and when lit the smoking rack should start counting down a timer on it until your meat is smoked. (It currently has a slight visual bug where the meat goes invisble when smoked which I am trying to fix)

toumato

I will re-look into the compatibility with Fauna Of The Stone Age mods when 1.22 reaches stable.

OmegaV

They are only cooked on the campfire, I don't use the aculinary artillary libary mod for cooking.

Wereducky

I will try to look into this but for now don't break the hooks whilst the animal is still bleeding out.

Horndog

I really do want to do something like this as I liked said feature in Red Dead Redemption 2 but I need to look into how mounting storage on elks work.

Jason_of_Enthur

I might put in a way to return some bits maybe but I don't want people to get fully back what they spent.

Felcia

It's an odd bug that keeps me up at night (joking) but I do want to tackle why it's happening as it seems to work fine when you do a second batch.

DakotaMorgan

Butchering does not touch the drop rates of hostile mobs such as Drifters etc. I would assume as Wilderlands Rustbound is a 'harder' mod it would most likely reduce the loot pool so that might be what you are seeing. 

Does this reduce the loot for hostile mobs (Drifters, bowtorns, etc) and would that apply to added mobs from mods like Wilderlands Rustbound (Adds a bunch more monster types, Ive been using it but noticing little to no drops for a while, been ages since ive been able to get a temporal gear from mobs)

minor bug but smoked items appear invisible on the smoking rack after finishing smoking

Would it be possible to add a way to recover materials from a obsolete copper butchering table?  Iron makes having one pointless, and at least with older hooks I can use them to hang animals until I am ready to skin them.

Loving the mod so far! Are there any plans for adding a butcher bag for the elk, or possible allowing us to put a corpse on the rear storage?

I was showing someone how to use your mod in a server, and carved an animal to start it bleeding.  I then broke the hook to take my hook back an got the skinned but unbled animal.  However, I can't seem to hang it up again to allow it to finish, and I am not sure what to do with it.  Is it ruined?  Could moving skinned animals be added?  Thanks for the mod, it's awesome!

I kinda need more elaboration on how to cook the black pudding and sausages, i've just made plenty but i don't know how to cook them, i've tried the cooking pot on a firepit, a saucepan from Culinary Artillery, i've burned some on the bonfire.

Got bug, cannot skin Dinornithidae suddenly, other animal work fine

I really need an elaboration on how exactly does smoking work because ive just burnt through a stack of firewood and my 4 sausages are still raw

Hi there! Is it at all possible to have the stone bake heat transfer sections act as "smoking" for the sake of smoking meat/sausages on the rack from the butchering mod? I noticed the heat SOURCE does, just wondering if thats at all configurable or otherwise able to be changed without neceesarily diving into the code

hey guys does the hunter bonus work whit the mod? i mean i take still bonus yield from animals?

how can i increase the yield of drops in the files? 

love the mod, keep up the good work

What excatly Counts as a campfire ? 

I notice when im using the Copper Smoking Hooks, the Sausages disappear after they've finished smoking. Is this a bug?

I love this mod. It makes animal hunting/farming so much more interesting!

Quick question about mod description:

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

Does it lower it by a percentage? Could you include that information in the mod description section above: Main Mechanics and Tools

Loving this mod

I have a question, do the hooks count as storage containers for how long until the animal spoils?

I like using my old flint hooks to store animals I'm working on yet and but would like to know if they can make it last longer

Also, I don't know how hard this would be to add, but a spoil time when hovering over an animal on the hook would be nice.

Thanks for the great mod

Ooh! Very interesting!

Not seeing any bugs, but...is there a recipe for the Temporal Butcher Box? I wanted to craft it, but it's giving no recipe.

CaptainOats sorry, forgot to repley, when I reported the bug I had the latest game and mod version, used in a server with a friend of mine, I will try if it happen again with the new version.

Ah no worries then, reguardless, ty for the amazing mod!

medabunny Thank you for that. I was coming unglued trying to figure out how to place the table lol.

CaptainOats When it would be buggy, I wouldn't be able to pick up items after I dropped them, and it was very laggy. However, I got a little more to the bottom of it and it turns out it's not exclusively an issue with this mod, the problem is VS itself. When I try to add certain mods, it tries to update my game to a version I'm already playing, then bugs out the world. My apologies for the misunderstanding, there is no need to troubleshoot this :,) Hopefully this problem will be patched by the devs in a future update.

Having an issue with the mod where i place an animal in the butchering table and when i butcher it it doesnt leave a skeleton behind, gives reduced drops and if i have the same animal in my inventory it will automatically place it down

FIXED:
The season changes the drops. In the winter animals will not drop hides when hanging but will give meat and bones.
When taking a dead animal from creative it will not give many drops nor bones in the butchering table.

Awesome! Thanks for the update :D

LunaGore

Looks like Good Night Sleep is causeing the issue but they said they are fixing soon on their end.

Venusgate

Yeah from their comment to you on their page I believe they are fixing it in the next update to Good Night Sleep.

Saber

I would have to keep the recipe at the total of 1 fat but with fat pieces as it would mess up the balance for saturation of Blackpudding itself.  

I too am crashing on vanilla wolf carving, this time around. It's almost certainly Good Night Sleep's wolf heart.

It worked before GNS's latest update. Tried before and after enabling GNS, and it drops the block box texture of heart.
You can still field-carve wolves with GNS enabled

Hey there, would it be possible to add compatability with the "cut the fat" mod so the black pudding can be assembled with the fat pieces?
they use the tag fat-cut for the item.

Vanilla wolf, only added entities I have are bovine and deer/moose/elk variants

HudsonHound

When you say 'buggy' what do you mean? Like low frame rate or do certain items not render their textures correctly? I need more info to help.

RudelStrudel LumpyAcidFish

No that is not intented behaviour. I also don't touch hostile mobs with this mod. Do you run any other mods that alter drops from monsters or would have any alterations to monsters themselves?

Kiriyon

Are you unable to Knap the flint hook as that is the intented way of making it?

davi03

What version of Butchering and the game do you run? If not the lastest both game and mod I can't be of much help.

LunaGore

Was it a vanilla wolf? or some modified version of one as you have a massive mod list.

Game crashed when I was finishing butchering a wolf on the table 😣

is this mod preventing me from harvesting drifters?

I noticed that when I die, while having animals in my inventory, I don't lose the speed debuff, I hade 78% speed and when I respawned it stayed the same.

I dont have the flint hook crafting recipe? all other skinning hooks are available and craftable but not the flint one? Idk what incompatibility is invalidating that recipe. Would love some help <3

I'm not able to butcher hostile mobs. Is that intended behaviour? I can't pick them up either with an empty inventory and nobody on the server has seen a single drop from a hostile mob after surviving for over 40 in game days.

@Eranderil, bloodbread has increased protein vs regular variants (380 vs 300 for spelt, for example).

For anyone who is interested, I created a compatibility mod between Seraph Leveling and the Butchering mod, it can be accessed here.

For some reason, whenever I download this mod and try to load into any of my worlds, it makes the world all buggy. It tells me I need to update my world, and whether I do or don't doesn't change the buggy behavior. When I did choose the option to update the world, there would be an error message in the chat as it was updating saying certain items from the mod didn't update properly, then nothing would change and it would keep being buggy. I also tested if other mods did this but it didn't do the same, the worlds ran them just fine. Does anyone have any idea on how I can treat this, or is it just a problem with the mod?

Feverstone Horse mod seems to have the mod dissapear once you try to grab the bodies,as in it erases the bag inventory.

Could be a good mod for snowball earth if skinning hooks didn't need resin for some reason.

Has blood bread been nerfed? For some reason bloodbread doesn't provide any protein saturation anymore, and when used into other recipies it also doesn't contribute any protein anymore either. What's the point in using blood in bread if it doesn't do protein? (Just to clarify here, we have a fairly extensive modlist, so something could be breaking it, but I can't imagine what- I don't think we should have anything that should conflict unless it's expanded foods.)

really wish there was mold for the metal hooks, they take forever to make alot of em.

The need for a butchering table makes this difficult to use while travelling a long distance from base. I don't know if you take suggestions but perhaps a change to the Primitive Table (or a separate item) like a Butchering Mat that can be lain on the ground like a bedroll and can be used for the same purpose, but can be stored inside a Butchering Bag instead of it's own backpack slot. It makes it so you still can't place it in the inventory but also means you don't use two backpack slots while travelling. And because it is a more mobile item, I wouldn't expect it to ever go above the 80% of a primitive table. You need a more permanently established place for that of course.

i think a bone hook would be more realistic than a flint one. Also we NEED a bone spear and knife, maybe even a hoe. Although shovel and ace would be too much.

also, the fact that i can't cure plain prime meat? nor disable the prime meat entirely?

How do I use the Sinew Glue? I tried taking it out of the cooking pot into a bowl, but that wasnt possible. I took the pot off of the firepit but the tooltip didn't list any contets inside the pot and when I put it back on the firepit, it actually had no contents. All the Sinew Glue I made completely disappeared. I am playing on 1.20.12

Are the drops bugged? base game i get around 4-6 red meat from a low weight adult deer. I use all advanced tools and i only get 2 prime meat, 1 red meat and 1 offal. Not only that, but butchering a bear only gave me 1 bush meat with all iron butcher tools. 

cool mod, but is it normal for chickens and pudus to drop literally no meat at all? chickens just gave me feathers and bones, and the pudu straight up just bones.

Hey, I use fauna of the stone age. Killed 4 elephants and 2 emus so far. I feel like the elephant should produce more blood. Like several buckets worth to make you rotate buckets so as not to waste it. Anyway nothing has dropped sinew either. Please fix.

Regaring the Smoking Rack and its need to have the Firepit directly below it, any chance to be able to either increase the possible distance between Firepit and Rack? First for aesthetic purposes and second to maybe "double up" on the racks e.g. 2 above a Firepit to create a little 'smoking room' setup or something?


P.S. your Compatible Mods List has Rhinos in it twice ;)

Thank you for the amazing mod and your continued hard work on it!

One suggestion: The hide glue recipe uses either 1L water + 3 small hides -> 4L glue, or 1L water + 3 medium hides -> 6L glue. With the vanilla leathermaking recipes each small hide makes 1 leather, and medium hide makes 2. So would you consider changing the glue recipe to make each medium hide effectively 2 small hides? Something like 2L water + 3 medium hides (effectively 6 small hides) -> 8L glue?

I haven't had the chance to add blood to soup yet but does it add satiation benafits like the broth mod?

Thanks for the latest update. Don't go hard on yourself. You're awsome.

Will there be plans to make the smoking rack accept poultry? It seems odd that even though fish is unaffected by the butchering mechanics its meat can be smoked but not poultry. Currently my group can only smoke poultry using Primitive Survival's smokers, which gives it a pretty insane shelf life relative to the smoked meats in this mod and it would be great if we can use this mod's smoking mechanics for consistency. Perhaps an option could be included to override Primitive Survival's smoked meats to match the ones from Butchering?

Happy New Years Captain. :) Thanks for the update and attention to detail, you didn't have to, but it's really nice that you did and I continue to regularly enjoy this mod immensely.

Wangus1433 it goes in your bag slot, then you press shift+1 to put it in your hand and place it. or if you're like me and switched sprint and sneak it'll be ctrl + 1

I'm having issues with getting materials from kills. I drain them and then butcher them but the last 5 kills I've gotten nothing but bones. I once got a single piece of chicken from a chicken and I do get feathers but nothing else is dropping anything, at all. No meat, no hide, nothing. I can understand small animals or primitive tools not yielding much but nothing at all? Is this intended or am I experiencing a bug?

cant pick up the prim butchering table 

Can't craft things with wood from the floral zone series of mods, only base game wood. I have a feeling it's an issue on their end, though.

Hi, I love the mod! I've been using it on all of my playthroughs since it was published. I just have one question/suggestion: have you considered adding an "uncrafting" recipe for medium and advanced hooks and tables? Materials for primitive are easily expendable, so I have no problem in just throwing the old ones away once I move on to medium tier. But then the medium butchering tools use some nice amount of copper and I'm too stingy to just thrash it lol, I'd rather recover it somehow. And then logically if we were able to break apart the copper ones, then iron ones should have that option as well, even though it might not be very useful for most players.

Heavy_Mettaloid Yes, I've butchered them on an advanced butchering table. just prime meat and fat. No hide.

I had trouble figuring out how to place the butcher table at first, the table needs to be in a backpack slot and then to place it you need to hold crouch while scrolling through your items to select it. I think it would be a lot less confusing if it was just a regular item you could place, there is no in game hints telling you what to do with the table.

Otherwise great mod, must have.

Absolutely adore this mod and A Culinary Artillery, can't wait for more additions to the compatible animals, I hope someday you add all the Legacy of the Phanerozoic dinosaurs! Imagine hauling a T-Rex in and working that? Food for decades lmao. gonna have to hook it up 10 stories high 

CaptainOats Much Fabulousities, thank you!

Also something I did note: the Pemican from this mod (in gloop form, not baked form) says it can be used in making stews, however, it doesn't show as a valid ingredient in any recipees, is this a bug or something that was removed but missed in tool tips?

Chardok Modded animals often give their hides on the butchering table, I've found. Are you just skinning them on a hook or butchering them as well?

I've skinned 9 well fed Eurasian Aurochs and not one of them gave me their hide. Just the horns.

Aw, guess i'm not making 10k saturation pies any more.

dohlbrak

Try using the same wood types for the logs.

Miz_Rat

No, currently it is just a aestetic choice for the smoking racks.

Jon1235

No worries, will try to!

spasmos

Could you contact me over Discord? I am on the main Vintage Story Discord under the name CaptainOats. Thank you.

Schloompa

The Antlers used to only drop naturally hence why I had that question up there. I guess they must of changed that then.

SkidInc

Any animal that doesn't have compatibility doesn't drop at 50%. That debuff should only apply to creatures with the 'Butcherable' attribute.

TitanGuard

Bone arrows should work in the lastest versions of Butchering with CO (as I added compatibility) but if they don't, please do message again.

MikeSyrup

No but it uses half the durability of the standard knife.

Vynk

This should be fixed by now in the lastest versions.

itsjusty0gurt

I will look into this as it is something I do want to do but can't garrentee anything as of right now.

I am confused on the Primative butchering table.  I have all the ingredients in the crafting window and it is not building. Top row left to right: Knife, Axe, 6 Flint  Middle row: 2 pine logs, 12 syenite stones, 2 maple logs.  I have tried different knifes, axes, and logs, (I also emptied one of my backpacks thinking it needed a place to go when crafted) but the primative burchering table never shows in the completed square at the bottom.  Am I missing something?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Question: Is there a difference in efficiency with copper vs iron smoking racks like there is for butchering hooks/table?

Finally getting Ivory. thank you, hope you get well soon

CaptainOats

Hello,

I've translated the latest version of your mod into Spanish (Spain) (es-es.json) and also added compatibility with the other Fauna of the Stone Age mods, in case you're interested. If you let me know how I can send it to you, I'll send it.

Regards,

SkidInc Forgive me, it was the cullinary artillery hook, i am deeply ashamed. they were too similar and my brain is fried. biiiig fan of your mod now tho :3

Schloompa It's 100% possible, you just haven't learned how to manipulate bits fully yet, you just need to walk the bits around, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/live/gAKnlr6kI7o?si=zYaSX7sxs0XueG5K&t=8373

Edit: Also, make sure your not confusing A Culinary Artility hooks for butchery hooks. The Culinary Artility hooks are harder to forge but you should never forge them as you can cast 8 of them for 1 ingot.

The hooks (for the skinning hooks) seem weird in forging. both 1 hook and 4 hooks use only one ingot, but making the 4 hooks with one ingot seems to be impossible as you cant bridge the gaps between hooks. a casting option might be nice, or to update the recipe for 4 hooks cost a plate or two ingots

Amazing mod

in your q and a you say that the vanilla game mechanic is that antlers drop naturally and not from butchering. This isn't true, as just yesterday i butchered a deer w/ antlers in mid october and recieved its antlers in the vanilla butchering menu. Adding the ability to get antlers from the new butchering system would be quite cool I think. Gonna download and try this mod now too :3

If possible could you add compatibility for Mythic Legends, reason being the Saddle and Bridal needed for tamed Wyverns require Scales which you get from butchering wild Wyverns, which now drop at half the rate.

Feverstone horses was integrated into Feverstone Wilds and needs updated to work with the butcher bags and stuff

I've noticed the Bone arrows you can make in this mod aren't able to be used, i'm not sure if its because of combat overhaul compatability or something, but they cannot be shot

Does a cleaver/butcher knife net you more meat (or other resources) than a knife?

You guys did some good work here. Feels like it should be base game (:

i am working on a class mod and was trying to make a rancher class that is better at butchering. i'm trying to keep the mod json only to keep it light as possible. but i love the butchering mod and was wondering is there anyway i could increase the drops for the rancher class from the hook or table.

Huzzah Expanded Food compatibility. You're a absolute life saver.

CaptainOats thank you! i love this mod.
oh! i just remembered a bug i had encountered a few months ago, on my (now dead) laptop.
if i died with animals in a sack, i'd still be as slow after reviving, as if i still had the sack on me.
(have not tested if this bug still exists)

How difficult would it be to add The Critter Pack animals to the compatibility list? Sorry for my naivety I am still learning modding and such in VS, I hope you are feeling better and have a great holiday <3

(the log spit out a long section i wasn't sure was revelent, and i dont know how to put it in a code container here..)
running some patching mods that do alter butchering, ( cool cooking tweeks, expanded blood bread, (and maybe others, I'm tired and about to go to work so i.. just realised i forgot to add my modlist in the error log...)
I only selected the errors relevant to butchering; its specifically a patching error with expandedfoods.

Would it be possible to add smoked poultry? 

Put bear on hook. Skinned bear. Didn't like position. Couldn't remove from hook. Broke hook, got bear back. Moved hook to new position. Can't put bear back on hook.

Now stuck with a skinned bear I can do nothing with but watch rot.

i believe i am having an issue where i cannot pickup an auroch from fauna from the stone age. I tried with an empty backpack slot, i tried with the bag, i tried with the table in a backpack slot, and none of it worked. Version 1.21.4 i believe

Hello! I love this mod and the complexity it adds to butchering. It makes the entire experience much more immersive, and provides a lot of avenues to 'do things' with.

I was looking at the recipes, and was curious why smoked cured meats had shorter Fresh times than just cured versions. Cured redmeat lasts for 3.4 years, but smoked cured redmeat only 1.2 years. Is this intentional, and if so, what is the design philosophy behind this decision?

Again, love the mod, just curious on why this was the case.

CaptainOats the guide to place the butchering table says press shift instead of press Ctrl i spent an hour trying to figure out why i couldnt place it ;w;

CaptainOats I encounterd a bug where after puting down a full reed butchering bag on the floor (full of rhinos from the stone age mod) and i try to pick it back up it hangs and the game basicly freezes i checked the logs and didnt see any cause. but if i break the bag it acts as normal and dosnt hang  dont really know what the issue is 

sewerclown Are you trying to put it into a backpack slot? That's where it goes,  not your regular inventory

I want to love this mod, but for some reason it isn't working! I make the primitive butchering table, but it won't go into my inventory. Yes, my inventory is empty/has room. When it's crafted my cursor literally won't allow me to put it into my inventory. If I click outside of my inventory, then the table will be dropped and then I can't pick it up. It despawns almost instantly. I've tried using creative mode to see if that works but it doesn't.

CaptainOats

I made some 'Prepared Healthy Primemeat' then realized I didn't have the salt to cure it. I figured i could just cook it as it is. But it doesnt cook as 'Prepared Healthy Primemeat'. Could you please make this cookable so it dosent get wasted?

any chance of a compatibility for Primitive survival ?

Running 1.10.10 on a server alongside combat overhaul and it looks like arrows made with bone arrowheads aren't compatible with longbows.  Haven't had the chance to do more extensive testing as yet, but for the moment they just flat out aren't selectable as a valid ammo type.  Not sure if this is something that needs to be fixed by you or them but figured I'd give a heads-up

@Kaymat, I am having the save issue. Did you find a fix as to why I am unable to pick up any animals. Yes my inventory is empty.

I think i've seen this reported before but I'm not 100% sure. Sometimes when i butcher an animal the knife cutting animation countinues even when i switch tools and do other things. just wanted to give you heads up, Love this mod!!

Maybe this is a stupid question, perhaps a mechanic I'm missing.. but how do I destroy an old butchery table? I built a primitive table early on, but wanted to upgrade to the regular one once I had an ample supply of copper. The problem is, I don't know what to do with the old primitive table.. is there a way to dismantle it that I'm just not thinking of?

Dreuu I agree. Similar issue happend to me. I hunted a "Hodgen" bird which turned into a "Anatidae" after I carried them with butchering. Not a big deal. It's just a tiny immersive breaking annoyance.

Really great mod. Thank you!

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?
