animal q off. Not sure if bug

[Thrawn00]

So I collected several dead livestock from a claim. Q reads 109, my survival is 170, farming 177. Skin came out as 9q, same for all the stuff in butchering. Went to a 120q sheep, only got 12 q items out. Did the q drop as the dead animal was rotting or is something not working right?

its because they starved to death, animals with low "wellfedness" have lower qa, despite there true qa being higher. Which is why you have received ur dookie stuff. also dont forget your tool is also a part of this equation, a bad tool will softcap you.

Thanks,axe is good q as well, but ok makes sense. Though odd, the feed troughs weren't empty so I figured someone had killed them all.

[Spin2Win]

oh wow i never knew that good stuff

In addition livestock butchering caps on your farming.

[AntiBlitz]

then the feed they were eating was low qa and the wellfedness was down due to that.

[MagicManICT]

I believe (could be wrong here) that starvation caps at half quality.

Well I can confirm 170 survival, 177 farming, 540q metal axe. On inspection animal corpse was 109q, food trough was empty, so must have starved to death. I believe when feeding on poor q food the overall animal's q drops, so it shouldn't show on inspect at 109q. Only conclusion is the starvation and/or decay of how long it lay dead in the field reduced the q. Because all parts harvested only gave 9q items. I only checked 3 bodies, but they were all doing the same. Slight number differences, but still massive q lose.
