Butcher

Butcher is Slept on

Butcher is the most slept on role in this game. Most rounds I get this role for free because nobody realizes how powerful it is. You get your own little house and you get an effective monopoly on THREE resources (Milk, Chicken Meat, Eggs). While it IS possible for players to get these resources, they don't spawn with access to animals and it's a huge pain in the ass for them because they need to craft bait and RNG pray that an animal they want spawns.

Interacting with animals

Feeding:

All animals are able to eat Wheat Grain or Oats, Goats and Saiga can additionally eat apples. You can manually feed animals by clicking on them with the food or you can just dump it all on the ground with a sack and they'll eat from there.

Milking:

Female Cows and Female Goats will generate milk once they've been fed, simply go over to them with a bucket on Fill intent and MASH click them, just MASH mouse one over and over until the bucket is full.

Breeding:

When animals (Goats, Saiga, Cows) are fed and they are near an animal of the opposite sex, they will make a baby animal sometimes, I am not sure the specifics.

Chickens are different, once they are fed they need a nest to lay an egg in. The Butcher starts with a few nests, but if they don't, simply leave ONE (1) fiber on the ground near the chickens, not a bundle of fibers! They will make a nest with that one fiber once they are fed and lay eggs occasionally. Some of the eggs will eventually hatch and become chicks, some won't and go rotten, I am not sure the mechanics of this either unfortunately. DO NOT STEP ON THE EGGS.

Butchering

The animals will get PISSED if you hurt one of them near the other animals, I recommend crafting a Bed (1 fiber, 1 short log) somewhere away from the other animals, either inside of your shack or out of seeing distance. Place the animal on the bed and they will not be able to move and you can kill them easily with a few strong slashes to the neck!

PROTIP: If you use Shove Intent on the lower part of a female Cows sprite, it will tip them over and they can't fight back while you cut them up. This doesn't work on Male Cows or Goats.

Once the animal is dead, hold your knife and without any intent selected, middle click the animal to butcher them. Blood and Guts will fly everywhere.

What each Animal Drops:

Unfortunately, I have never counted specifically, I will update this later with in game data:

Cow	Shitload of Meat, Some Hides
Goat	A bit of meat, Some hides, 1 Fur
Chicken	1 fat, 1 chicken meat
Saiga	Don't even fucking bother
