Farming Spoilied Meat
With our tribes Green House were producing about 11k narco berries every 3 hours

Now the biggest resource we always need more of is Spoilied meat

I'm looking for any creative suggestions on how to speed up this process.

We currently farm meat in swamp with Giga then separate the stacks after the run

I know the ways are limited but any other ideas?

I use feeding trough, because it is kinda cheap to make and hold 60 stacks of meat

11k narco berry per 3 hour?

our farm is nice, but nowhere do we reach that number

Stick meat in troughs and wait for a bit, hundreds of spoiled meats then stick it in fridges until you fancy doing a massive narc crafting sesh.

^the prob is, he need thousands of spoiled meat asap

I wouldn't put it in trough since meat lasts longer in troughs (same time as in dino inventory). Why not putting it in a normal storage box?
I personally farm meat with an aggressive, non ridden Giga. Ofc the giga has a tracking node on it. I follow it around on a quetz, because if the giga is out of players render range, it is not moving. From time to time I fly near the Giga and unload it and than seperate the meat in my inventory wwhile the giga is still biting things.
There is no faster way to make spoiled meat, but I know it is annoying to seperate every stack into single pieces of meat.

Feeding troughs and a dino's inventory will preserve things. Use a plain storage box, vault, smithy, fabricator, or a person's inventory. A preserving bin without any spark powder would also work. There are mods that will help too. One has a spoiling bin that is fueled by poop! One has a grinder that converts raw meat to ground meat which spoils faster.

Best idea is to put the meat in storage boxes since it will spoil faster.

1. Get lots of meat.
2. Get lots of empty, large storage boxes or a vault.

Split the meat into 1 individual meat per slot in the storage. This will let the meat spoil faster(a stack spoils the first in the stack then starts the timer over for the next in the stack). Its tedious but this is one of the faster ways. However if this isnt an issue for you then fill the vault/storage with meat in stacks and then pull out the spoilage when you have the time.

Do NOT use preserving bins, fridges, feeding troughs or dino inventory. It just makes it take longer to spoil in most all cases.

It's fairly large, another admin is in charge of farming but I believe he has 30+ narco medium plots

Thanks for the tip, however we play official pvpve and that makes me pretty nervous as the the "calsulties of war" - appreciate it tho

The fastest way to make spoiled meat is to separate the meat in your inventory so that instead of having 5x stacks of 20 you have 100x single meat.
