Calf quality varies too much from inspected value

[Tacheron]

Inspected calf corpse 17/22/4
Calf hide 13/16/4
Calf intestines/meat 14/16/4

% modifiers were all in the 90's or over 100.
Cutting tool over q100
All attributes over 20

Seems like it's softcapped by 10...did you make carpentry and mm softcap skills for this? If it's not a bug and I'm doing something wrong, please point out the proper way, I want to fix it. If it's just a matter of calves having their q lowered from the listed value, then inspected qualities should match the changed value.

Animal was probably undernourished, i.e. the brown meter "Wellfedness" was below max.

[Tacheron]

Shouldn't have been, haven't milked any of the cows for days and I kept them all fed :/

Not sure how to proceed with report. Does anyone else have this problem? What happened here, exactly? User error?

[ewlol]

I have this same problem. All of the calves I slaughter give hides/meat/maws/intestines like 6~7 quality points below the reported values on inspection.

I attributed this "error?" to calves having a quality detriment because they are still juvenile.





Its odd to me that the essence and vitality of the harvested sheepskin vary so much compared to the substance.

At 97% hide quality...

Product vs examines valued:

Essence: 24 > 18.9 = 79% of original value
Substance: 20 > 17 = 85% of original value
Vitality: 31 > 21.3 = 69% of original value

How exactly is this calculated... it seems entirely random

It isn't by any chance a bad butchering tool?

[ewlol]

No, my butchering tool is 70/70/70

[loftar]

Are you then, perhaps, by any chance using a character with insufficient Farming?

[ewlol]

I think this is satisfactory for the ram I just slaughtered

In legacy, weren't calves usually 50% of the original quality? I can't recall correctly.
