Meat Your Maker: Butchery Reimagined

🥩 Meat Your Maker: Butchery Reimagined (IN DEVELOPMENT)

A new era of butchery begins.
Meat Your Maker introduces a full-featured butchery system focused on realism, persistence, and gameplay depth. Animals no longer drop items on death — they leave behind carcasses you can interact with, drag, butcher, and process.

✅ Core Features

• 🔪 Fully modeled carcass entities for all mobs

• 🐄 Interactable corpses — bleed, inspect, cut, or transport

• 🧠 Modular logic per species — scalable and easy to extend

• 🩸 Built-in bleeding and blood loss system

• ⚙️ Lightweight, performance-optimized, and survival-ready

🧪 Feature Roadmap (In Development)

✅ Already Functional:
🦇 Bat, 🐮 Cow, 🐔 Chicken, 🦌 Deer, 🧜 Elder Guardian
→ Fully interactive carcasses with bleeding, dragging, inspection, and cutting

🔥 Planned Features:

🌡️ Temperature System
• Corpses rot unless stored near freezing
• Spoilage stages: fresh → tainted → spoiled → skeleton
• Storage: ice blocks, cold rooms, underground cellars

🍲 Farmer’s Delight + Serene Seasons Compatibility
• Seasonal spoilage logic
• Jerky, salted cuts, smoked meat
• Butcher tools on cutting board
• Spoiled meat becomes compost or a disease risk

🐻 Naturalist Integration
• Unique drops and carving logic per animal
• Predators react to blood scent
• Drops like antlers and bear hearts

♨️ Smoker Rework
• Realistic smoking with ash buildup
• Balance between preservation and cooking

🍖 BBQ Table
• Grill, sear, skewer meat with risk of burning
• Cutting board synergy with Farmer’s Delight
• Visual meat chunks shown while cooking

🧪 Advanced Mechanics
• Anatomy: bones, organs, fat layers
• Infection risk from spoiled or dirty meat
• Sanitation: clean knives, mop blood
• Blood trails while dragging kills

🛠️ Note: This roadmap is a vision, not a guarantee. Features may change based on technical feasibility or community feedback.
