Had a little time to get on test yesterday and try the new content. The single best improvement for me was being able to kill an animal and harvest meat! Finally a hunter can get his grub on without fishing or foraging.
Hopefully we will be able to eat the meat raw, like fish, for some base sustenance.
I do agree that the amount of meat should vary based on some factor, size being the obvious best or alternatively it could be done like gut harvesting -based on power. This would still have bears and hamsters yielding one meat thought, at lowest power levels...
Question: I found the skewer recipe in my tool craft menu but did not find any of the new preservative basket recipes in my basketry menu (basketry 89). Do these have to be grinded for in order to get them?
Also, in running around collecting all the necessary ingredients for cooking my water and food levels both dropped to 0, I ran out of energy and I went into exhaustion. At 0 in both food and water exhaustion last for at least a full minute and it may have been more like a min. 30 sec. This seems like overkill. Especially for newer players who may have a slow time of it getting their chosen food collection skill up before they can begin to provide for themselves. Maybe a minimum of 30 sec exhaustion in the most extreme cases? or some minimum less than what there is now. Just a thought.
Other than that, and some of the things already brought up, this patch looks great!
Grats on this huge content addition! I'm sure it was a long slog.
