Bugged animals can't be butchered

Post by spectacle »

After a recent hunting trip we brought home 5 deer. 4 were normal, but one of them seems to be bugged: After skinning it we're unable to butcher it, right clicking on it does not bring up any menu options.

I have no idea how to reproduce this unfortunately, it seemed like a normal deer while it was alive. I will leave it next to my village idol until it decays in case a dev wants to inspect it.

same thing happened to me, but with a fox.
i think it was because of the server crash or something.

Will consider, but would love steps to reproduce or more confirmations. I seem to remember hearing more reports of this, and would love to fix it if it is at all possible to identify the cause.

I unloaded those deer and I think I placed the one in question like almost right on top of a stockpile in between other stockpiles. It looked like I had placed it into the stockpile, then I picked it up again to place it somewhere more convenient. Not sure if that helps.

Almost same with badger. Steps was:
1. Skinning.
2. Allow other char cut 1 pice of meat.
3. Cut rest of meat.
4. Badger corpse still alive and didn't give bone, inspectable, but not destroyable

Just had the same thing happen with a boar. As far as i know nothing weird was done to the boar. After we skinned it we couldn't interact with it anymore. Can still inspect it.

The skinning process wasn't interrupted and restarted again, or something in that vein?

This was also reported here, among other places. Would love steps to reproduce on this. Stickied.

Bugged dead fox

We have a bugged dead fox. You cannot destroy, butcher, or in any way other than lifting him, interact with. Probably not a big priority, but figured I'd give the heads up.
