I CANT BUTCHER ANYTHING PLEASE HELPPPP

[farisfreek2003]

Every time I send a pawn to butcher a creature it gets stuck in a loop of butchering it and every time it "finishes" my pawn just picks up the animal corpse and then butchers it again. and again. and again. Please help me it is literally ruining my fun. I do have an absolute TON of mods but none of them seem to conflict pls help :(

Does this still happen even if you have zero mods active?
If so, it's one of your (unspecified) mods.

(Yes, this is probably obvious stuff - but its as much as any of us can do with what we have, short of offering ideas on how to do the trial-and-error testing that only you can do.)

[Kittenpox]

What I'd probably start with is create a new playthrough, same modlist.

Try to butcher something in a butchery spot, and again at a butchery table.

If it doesn't work, try again after removing all food-related mods.

Failing that, try again with zero mods.

If that does work, rebuild the modlist gradually, testing as you go - maybe also use the RimPy client to organise the modlist for you.
If it doesn't work, do a clean reinstall of the game and try again.

Note: It's also entirely possible a non-food mod is interrupting things. Like how the Cults mod will call your pawns to a scheduled church service, and can interrupt their existing work at that point.

I had this exact problem happen some time back. I DO remember it was some kind of mod conflict but since it happened better than a year ago I can't remember which one was the problem. Open your log when you're seeing the problem and I'll bet you'll get a hint as to what the issue is (dev mode, btw).

If you have the HugsLib mod active, reproduce the error in the game, then press Ctrl+F12. This should allow you to upload the log, and give you a link. Give us the link, and then maybe we'll have something more specific to say than, "Probably a mod."

Yay i found the issue! apparently one of the mods i had installed turned all butchered meat into one type of meat so it could all stack, and there was a separate mod that did that as well. after uninstalling one of them i discovered the issue and fixed it thanks guys!

Bro hi, can you tell me the name of the those mods? i have the exact same problem

[farisfreek2003]

look for a mod that turns all meat into chicken meat and just uninstall it. There are multiple mods that do that so i dont know the specific name .

Animals Logic converts any generic meat into chicken meat, but it's an option that you can turn off in the mod settings.

Optimization: Meats also does something similar with other meats, turning them into raw meat.

I can't think of any others at the moment.

Dame, getting the same issue. First time with mod'd playthroughs. focusing on medieval. will update if I find the conflict.

Hope you figured it out!
There was a similar infinite loop but with cooking instead of butchering, that was from Common Sense. if the meat mod doesnt solve the issue, it might be worth trying that.
