The '''butcher spot''' is a [[Production]] site used by [[Work#Cook|cooks]] to butcher [[animals]] and [[human]]s into [[meat]] and [[leather]] without needing to construct a [[butcher table]], at the cost of a 30% loss in return.

== Acquisition ==
Butcher spots do not require a colonist to construct or [[deconstruct]], nor is there a cost, build time, or [[skill]] requirements for placing them. Instead, they are simply selected from the menu and placed directly by the player.

== Summary ==
The butcher spot offers only 70% efficiency compared to the butcher table. This means that 30% of the [[meat]] and [[leather]] will be lost in the butchering process compared to the return from the table. 

It has no [[cleanliness]] penalty, unlike the table.

Butchering requires a fresh (not rotten) [[corpse]] of an animal or human. Butchering requires {{ticks|450}} of work, modified by the [[butchery speed]] of the cook and up to two nearby [[tool cabinet]]s, and yielding a return in meat and leather modified by:
* The base yields of the animal 
* The [[butchery efficiency]] of the cook
* The maturity stage of the animal.{{Check Tag|Detail needed}}
* A 66% multiplier for damaged corpses  i.e. any animal not [[tame]]d and then cleanly slaughtered. {{Check Tag|Fact Check|Version change-log only mentions meat - needs confirmation that it doesn't affect leather}}
* A percentage multiplier for lost body parts.
* A 70% multiplier for being a butcher spot instead of a table.

==== Human corpses ====
Butchering a human inflicts a non-stacking 6-day {{--|6}} [[mood]] penalty for <u>all</u> colonists, prisoners, and [[slave]]s{{IdeologyIcon}}, as well an ''additional'' 6-day {{--|6}} for the butcher. The good news is that the colony-wide penalty only stacks once, but the penalty for the butcher can stack 10(!) times with a 0.75 stacking multiplier. Pawns with any of the [[Psychopath]], [[Bloodlust]], or [[Traits#Cannibal|Cannibal]] traits ignore both penalties, so if you are going this direction it would pay to [[Training#Cooking|train]] one as a back-up [[cooking|cook]] to get the most out of each corpse.

== Analysis ==
{{Stub|section=1}}
Useful for when resources are tight, such as on sea ice, or when you don't want to dedicate the time to build a butcher table, such as on caravan and event maps.
