Nice mod, thanks. I did notice however, that Ducks stopped giving fat, which is a real bummer. I have edited the file to restore and enhance ( ) fat drops.
Hm... that is strange, I cannot get fat to "spawn" when looting a duck, none of my changes took effect. This is strange, as other things that you have altered are working (eg Boar fat).
that is some sort of hard coded stuff like horns and claws that I've stumbled while was tweaking the mod at first, like boar tusk was not spawning if I've changed it's amount so I left some things untouched like that duck fat, anyway I'll test it out as soon as i finish the other mod that I'm working on atm.
can you tell me what weapons you've tried on the duck?
Varmint Rifle. Although I do have a mod that allows to use any weapon (within reason) to get consistent quality kills. This mod does not conflict with yours, it modifies different file - plus I have tested the game with it disabled.
ok so i checked it without the mod (though as i've said - mod does not change the amount of ducks fat - meaning that quantity is null/1 chunk per duck) and then i added 1 chunk lines for each condition and the result for both vanilla and tweaked is - 5 chunks out of 10 ducks. I think its just capped.
Would be nice to have a version that doesnt drop so much meat and animal parts for mods like Kiddo's Extra Hardcore Minimalist Loot Economy. The economy and itemization in this game has always been really ridiculous without immense nerfs. Walking around with infinity consumables is a real bummer.
EDIT: Ah well, I did a dirty edit of the loot_items_matrix.meta and batch replaced all the <Quantity value="6" , <Quantity value="5" and <Quantity value="4" to give 2, instead, and the 3s and 2s to give 1. Should be enough of a nerf 😅 Its just not as immersive because many perfect clean kills will give the same as poor dirty kills. Oh well. Too any lines to edit by hand.
I was searching everywhere for the LML file you mentioned to place this Mod in. I couldn't find it anywhere so I did an online search. LML stands for Lenny's Mod Loader. I don't want to use programs for mod installation. I like to manually handle it. Does your description of where to place the Mod file mean this Mod can not be used without a Mod manager?
May I ask if the file 'damageclean linesdata. meta' is about modifications related to hunting weapons? Because I only want to use modifications related to weapons.
I just had to shoot a squirrel 4 times in the head with small game arrow.. and then its pelt was ruined..
Happened more than once.. i dunno if its this mod or Maverick Weapons damage but im getting pretty tired of the whole hunting system in this game, even with mods that try to improve it.
Just going to install the Perfect Pelts mod and be done with all this crap.
Really nice mod to play with. Finally I can get perfect pelt from ducks and such with a repeater. Except for the animal fat doesnt show up. I know it has been mentioned here a couple of times, but I would naturally love to see that working out. In best case, perfect duck to be 4 chunks of fat, while bad kill only 1. Cheers and Thanks Sir
It seems ducks, boars, pheasants and beavers don't drop animal fat anymore because you forgot to put:<Quantity value="" /> on the PROVISION_ANIMAL_FAT drop rate. I tried to put quantity=2 to ducks to test and they drop animal fat again.
I've made a sticky on ducks issue, same goes for pheasants. Other things are just wrong, look at boars and beavers once again all values are there. There're even leftovers explaining mp chunks of code that are not used in the sp. And anyway its been checked before release multiple times. See if you have conflicting mods.
Yeah after the next day it doesn't work anymore my bad. IDK why specifically ducks don't work when every drop can be edited but I just compensated by giving other animals animal fat drops.
How the hell do you hunt Oxes? I've tried poisoned arrows and throwing knives and rifles but even though I aim right at the head/forehead it always gives me good quality pelt.
Edit: So I've tried troubleshoot your issue with a slug, repeater velocity/express, rifle regular/express ammo types and poisoned/improved arrows straight into the head. All in one shot 3 stars: oxes, bulls, cows, buffalos. Though throwing knifes and regular ammo/arrows needs to be patched or not, sometime later mb, cuz apparently 1 knife or regular bullet/arrow isn't enough. End of story.
just do it the same as i would recommend in vanilla, lasso, get close, b to kill with knife. clean every time. gives you more opportunity to get wanted ofc
Does the angle you shoot it from matter? My dumbass only recently learned that animals have star ratings for determining pelt quality. But it seems if you shoot the head directly facing the animal there's a higher chance of the pelt quality going down compared to shooting them from the side.

Thing is that i haven't touched duck fat at all, supposing that vanilla's 1 chunk is enough. Thx anyway I'll investigate.
