Butchering Animals Plus

Description
This mod aims to give the player a more reasonable amount of meat per animal slaughtered. Currently, in build 42, besides the difficulty of raising an animal quickly, slaughtering any animal yields only a small amount of meat that lasts just a few days.

The formula used to generate the meat quantities will provide approximately the following:

11 - 20 Steaks and Fillets (Bovines)
9 - 15 Loins, pork chops, and bacon (Pigs)
9 - 15 Lamb Meat (Ovines)
10 - 15 Venison
1 - 3 Rabbit Meat

and more:

5 - 10 Dirty Guts and Fats (Bovines)
1 -2 Dirty Guts and Fat from adult chickens and turkeys (Poultry)
2 - 5 Dirty Guts and Fats from pigs (Pigs)
2 - 4 Dirty Guts and Fats from sheep (Ovines)
2 - 5 Dirty Guts and Fats from deer

The quantity depends on the size and species of the animal.

** The yields might still be lower than those indicated above, but it is absolutely guaranteed that they will be better than the absurdly low amounts indicated in Build42.

In addition to rebalancing animal slaughter, we have added new items and new recipe creation:

Guts (offal)
Bone Meal
Bone Marrow
Blood Meal
New recipes (made from the acquired items):

Trotter Jelly / Chorizo / Pork Sausage / Chicken Sausage
Animal Feed Bag
Grass Bag
Fertilizer

Notes
This modification works with the existing files.

@FLUFFY CAT happened to me too, but i kinda figured it out that the guts should at least be encumbrance 1.0 and your water source should be 0.8L, i don't think it supports sink cleaning though.

@ForsakenShell, that comment was intended more for the original author. I put out a patched version of this mod that fixes the issues with the butchering hook and cleaning guts that I'll take down once @Gutosenna updates this one. But DirtDiver99's instructions are accurate except the amounts of meat will be reset to vanilla levels.

Cleaning dirty guts doesnt work for me, any idea why?

@ForsakenShell found it. just copy the butchering lua from steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\lua\shared\Definitions\animal
and paste to
steamapps\workshop\content\108600\3432399223\mods\ButcheringAnimalsPlus\42\media\lua\shared\Definitions\animal

so far, it works as intended afterwards.

@TheOriginalStove - You copied what from where? Please be more explicit than "the functions over from the vanilla file" - what vanilla file, what functions?
TheOriginalStove 22 Jun @ 1:46pm 
Looks like the errors for the butchering hook are because the game is trying to call some functions that are missing from the ButcheringUtil table. Copied over the functions over from the vanilla file into the mod's lua file (shared/Definitions/animal/ButcheringUtil.lua) and that fixed the issue with being unable to use the hook with the latest update.

I'm also having issues with pulling inventory out of modded containers to do crafting. It will act as if it did, but it will return all items and not return any product. I used a modded vehicle and a different mod (the popular connex mod)

Obviously yours is unrelated now that I sadly had to remove it (it's a great mod, thank you) but I wonder if there is a issue with the inventory aspect of mods that's causing the issue.

Thank you so much! Also I don't get Senew as well. Your mod makes farming so much worth it :spiffo:
Gutosenna  [author] 18 Jun @ 3:53pm 
I'll check all these problems again and get back to you with the result

Issue with the butcherhook as well
