Mobile Butcher

A mobile butcher service comes to your farm and processes your livestock into meat on-site. Instead of hauling your animals to the dealer, you receive boxed meat on pallets — and at a significantly better price than the standard livestock sale.

First, place a Meat Pickup under Construction → Production → Factories. Use Shift + B on foot to call the butcher to any pen on your farm, select your animals, and before confirming you'll see exactly how many kilograms of meat you'll receive, what it's worth, and the butcher's fee.

Supported animals and products:

• Cattle → Beef
• Water buffalo → Buffalo meat (premium price)
• Pigs → Pork
• Chickens → Chicken
• Goats → Goat meat
• Sheep → Mutton

Key rules:

• Minimum age: Cattle and buffalo 12 months, pigs/sheep/goats 6 months, chickens 3 months
• Minimum health: 50%
• Prices are balanced across all difficulty levels
• Horses cannot be butchered

A box truck drives in via the road network and does the work — if the AI route fails, he simply appears parked at the pickup. The Meat Pickup stores multiple pallets across two rows and retains queued deliveries after saving and quitting.

Note: Currently not compatible with Realistic Livestock — a fix is in progress. Fully compatible with the Animal Package – Vanilla Edition and Animal Package – AgroZone Edition. Multiplayer has not been tested yet.

All settings including value multiplier, butcher's fee, minimum ages, and more can be adjusted via the butcherConfig.xml in the mod folder.
