Wouldnt it make more sense to redirect this to Butcher's_shop? --Mizipzor 20:29, 4 November 2007 (EST)

Experience/Speed

it takes my dabbling butcher only a splitsecond to butcher a mule - how could he be faster? --Koltom 19:43, 14 February 2008 (EST)

read carefully: "Higher skill allows them to process corpses only faster." He's getting faster with processing corpses of dead animals, e.g. from a hunt or from some accident. Butchering of an animal is surprisingly fast and independent of skill.
yeah, i had noticed that later and even made an edit to just that quote, only forgot to remove the above post ;) but thanks --Koltom 07:57, 15 February 2008 (EST)

Butchering immature animals

I was looking to see if there is any benefit to waiting for animals to mature before butchering them... ie does a "cow calf" produce less meat than a cow? does a kitten produce less meat than a cat? (we all know how quick the cat population explodes and there are no wild animals on the Z-levels I have access to!)GarrieIrons 09:15, 21 June 2008 (EDT)

I noticed the other day that kittens product 2 meat (1 less than adult cats), and I believe also 2 bones. I would guess that in general you get 1/2 of what you would get from the adult, rounded up. That's a complete guess though, so some actual research might be in order. --Raumkraut 19:10, 21 June 2008 (EDT)
