I don't like needing a butchering rack in order to get all the drops from butchering corpses. Before I just butchered and hauled the resources back to my base, now I gotta carry the damn corpse back to a butchering rack with a flat surface nearby in order to get a full yield from butchering.

I think the full butcher setup just gives you extra drops you wouldn't normally get and the fast butcher is functionally the same as just pressing B in previous versions

Unless they changed it fast butchering netted me only meat and offal.

Maybe it depends on skill?

I think as of right now you only get meat from fast butchering.

[Aseaheru]

 Well, thats an unpleasant change. I hope they plan on adding a semi-processed form of butchering to reduce mass and/or volume so one can haul the corpse back easier.

You can field dress and quarter a corpse to reduce the weight but you need to perform a full butchery which requires a butchering rack, a flat surface, and sawing and cutting tools in order to get stuff outside of meat and offal.

 Ah, good, missed that they already had dressing and quartering possible elsewhere.

I just spent several days in game clearing the roaches out of a mansions basement, the whole process involved killing almost four hundred roaches and gathering all the eggs and meat and burning all of it, in the hope that they don't come back, probably would have been more of a pain in the ass if I hadn't already killed all the zombies.

So has anyone else noticed the massive amount of stuff spawning from the new carrion thing, I left it at 100% if that matters. I should probably turn it down.

Are roaches a mon?  And not like vermin from df?

[scriver]

Giant fucking roaches man. They're in your pantry, eating your pants.

[AzyWng]

Haven’t done any gameplay, but are roaches butcherable?

The whole “Spawn from rotten things” mechanic makes me wonder if a cockroach farm wouldn’t be possible...

Hence why I just keep it at zero, to be honest it isn't worth it.

Sort of, but they should be zero-sum, so you can't get unending meat from farming them.  i.e. when a roach spawns it also consumes some existing meat.
OTOH, you definitely CAN dump your (inedible) tainted meat and farm up (edible, but gross) roach meat.

This is completely disgusting, and I think it's amazing.

So you're saying that in their quest for realism the dev team has come to simulate spontaneous generation

Clearly you're just taking the piss, but there's not a chance that there's a single open area in C:DDA that's roach-proof.
