I’ve been working on the Carcass mechanic today :) Big dinosaurs spawn carcasses rather than immediate item drops. You can harvest these carcasses and upon fully harvesting, they will drop meat.

The catch? Meat decays over time, and the quality of the meat is directly impacted by the way the animal was killed, and the tool used to retrieve the meat.

Carcasses also attract other predators; Scavengers such as the Coelophysis can’t wait to dig their claws into a fresh kill! You will have to be quick, as well as vigilant in fighting off other dinosaurs.

(Note: For demonstration purposes, the butchering process speed and the mob health have been reduced)
