Title: Butchering rotting corpses?
Post by: erdrik on December 11, 2014, 05:49:57 PM
Is it possible? Because I have 2 squirrels in a designated drop zone, but none of my colonists will butcher them.
They've been dead for 7.5 days. Is that too long?
I have a butchering table set to butcher all creatures forever.
Ive removed all other jobs except cook and suspended the stove bills.
They just idle like a bunch of idiots.
I need that leather damnit. >.<

If you select the corpse it'll tell you if it's rotten. And no, you can't butcher a rotten animal. The meat and leather are useless.

Ah. Ok then. I knew it was rotten, but I didn't know if you could butcher rotting stuff.
You could the last time I had played.
Thanks for the quick reply.

Make sure you have someone set to cook, and you can right-click on the butcher table and have a cook prioritize butchering.

Also, if you have a freezer you can have colonists haul carcasses in there and they'll stay fresh forever (providing they freeze)
