Meat Shreds & Fat

[Zentetsuken]

We needs the concept of "shredded meat" in the game right now more than ever and I'm going to explain why.

I have been thinking for a long time now that the process of making fat cuts is incredibly wasteful. If we are cutting away the fat, what is happening to the leftover meat?!

Also, in Salem every time you butcher an animal you get some amount of meat shreds along with the respective amount of actual "meat cuts" as well. This just makes sense. It's implied that we are just tossing all the bits of meat that don't cut in to a nice looking steak on to the ground like they are worthless?

Unacceptable.

This could add some real usefulness to some of the lesser used meats in the game, as well as the new massive plethora of smoked meats.

We should be able to process smoked meats in to smoked fat/smoked meat shreds. A new type of fat could be SUPER FUN and having some new food recipes for smoked meats could be fun as well. Think like basic stir fries, jerky, pemican, stews. Lots of great possibilities here.

Meat being divided into shreds/cuts/steaks/slabs was definitely one of the Salem's better features. Unfortunately, implementing that system to haven would require going through every single recipe that requires meat. Animal butchering would also need new values.

Animal fat could be a "liquid" like caveslime so that you'd be able to get variable amounts of it.

shreds and steaks wouldn't have to be interchangeable at all. I think maybe a few existing recipes being switched to shreds only and a few additional shred recipes would suffice. For example, kebabs and sausages should probably be able to take shreds? Maybe onion skewer or something too?

I think it's more important to be able to break down the smoked meats and make pemican and jerky and have smoked fat as a byproduct.
