Used: Meat Drops in Animal Loot

As per the title.. any animal that currently drops a (rather useless) piece of "generic leather hide" should also drop a (more useful) piece of "generic meat"... this way we could if we wanted hunt a deer for supper..etc etc...

Gross, but seconded!

Thirded.

Good idea.

My ranger agrees.

Although I would prefer the size of meat be the same as that of the chicken leg, one inventory space.

And stackable

Yes, stackable. Maybe we could think of having smaller but more pieces in drops.

After all, my ranger RPs taking a full haunch and making a bunch of servings of jerky.

Mmmm, stackable meat!

Or, we could have a Cooking function for making jerky from that huge haunch of meat, to trade that one big four-space haunch into four one-space servings of jerky? Stackable or not, I'd really dig that. There's nothing for simulating the tidy servings of jerky and pemmican that my ranger RPs making for the trail. (So most of the time the only meat she actually carries is chicken legs.) One could also do something similar with the big fish, Cook function to dehydrate for preservation of the big four-space fish into small one-space dried fish filets for carrying on the trail.

Oh, yeah, Ramana, I likeys the sound of that!

I don't think I'll end up making meat a smaller item, but I'll add some sort of benefit to it, such as the ones certain other foods give when sleeping.

Stackable food: nope...that would involve either recreating all the food as a new item type, or making all small misc. item stackable (which would mess with variables on some if they started stacking).

Perhaps on the stacking food part, it could be the option for "remaking all the food as a new item", but simply be a very low priority task?

For next module update, some creatures (mostly things like deer and cows) will drop meat instead of leather hide.

I'm working on adding a couple of new cooking tradeskill results ("cured meat" and "dried fish"). This one may take a little while, since it's more involved, and I'm looking at redesigning some of the tradeskill crafting to make it simpler coding and easier to add new "recipes" and "products".

The larger meat and fish items, if used for eating before sleeping, lead to different effects on waking. Meat -> +2 Str. Fish -> +2 Wis.
