Drinking water makes it faster. In terms of energy spent, simply waiting is most efficient. As far as I know.

It seems likely that there's a breakpoint for this, where water's Quality effect will surpass rest, though. I'm curious where that line is.

If I slughter an animal, and do not butcher/skin it right away, will there be some kind of decay to the animalparts (qualitywise)? If so, is something known about the rate of decay?

After a while the skin will vanish, then the meat, then the rest (bones). Talking about days. Quality is not affected, but quantity is quite drastically.

If it's a domesticated animal, it will just stay there without rotting. Anyone want 347642 lowq dead pigs?

Okay seeking confirmation of method here for gold pebbles from cat gold:

1) Create pyrite spark
2) Light fire or furnace with it
3) Get really lucky
4) Receive gold

I've gone through ~400 cat gold without a hit yet, so I'm also wondering what the % is.

it hurts me that you are using cat gold to make pyrite sparks when you could be making cats curios out of it.

I've never heard of pyrite spark having chance to create gold pebbles. You're better off selling the cat gold if you can't or don't want to make Golden Cats on your own.

I was going to comment that Cat Gold, more accurately pyrite, has nothing to do with real gold but apparently it can contain minute traces of gold. Mostly it just looks and gleams deceivingly like real gold, hence the name.

They're Q10, and I've been trying to spawn the gold pebbles. I can't make cat curios good enough to be worth it.
