So i was butchering animals like a good little village mate and as i slayed sheep after sheep, i thought to myself... what if there was some kinda cool animation with the tool you are using to slaughter. You already have to wait on a timer.

Here was my idea
Instead of just standing there maybe we could slowly draw back axe (any tool with sharp edge) behind your back and as the timer ends swing at the animal and then it falls like aways with its soul peacfully going to hearth heaven.

Sorry if someone already came up with this. if so please trash this


What do you think? and how hard would this be? i noticed alot of other timer action have small little animations in them. sheering wool, chopping tree, ect..

That would be nice, also the timer should be shortened while at it (it's excessive at the moment) or given convenience.

I want to see them struggle tbh

ya me2 id like it if we wrapped our hands around their neck and their face slowly turned blue. would be cool haha

Sheep should drop dead almost instantly, pigs should take forever to die.

It's probably at the current length of around 5 seconds because of pvp reasons at the moment? I gotta admit i hate slaughtering animals too because it takes way too long.
Maybe it would be nice if we could kill them in combat too? As of now we just knock them out which i don't see the point of with pigs/sheep/cows. Would spice up the slaughtering a little bit at least.

Having to kill then in combat could be a reasonable way, extra points for dev cruelty should nearby members of the same species go walrus on you in that case.

Iirc the timer was added to prevent accidental misclicks, 3 seconds time to cancel the action should be enough.

agreed, or at least make the hearthling do something other than just stand there waiting for animal to fall. its just depressing. haha

I just think the timer should be much shorter, I'm sure it doesn't take that long to slit an animals throat ... not so sure about some of the other idea's though, I feel bad enough as it is slaughtering them, esp the babies, without their face turning blue or them struggling.

I think it's been suggested a million times, but a dedicated tool for slaughter/butchery that reduces the timer significantly seems like an easy fix.
