Animal heads

[FiveAxle]

Has something changed? I used to get tons of animal heads, now I can't seem to get any. I've tried axe, skinning knife and pick, either I'm extremely unlucky, or I'm missing something. I've cleared out all the wildlife near my base at least ten times now, and plenty of hides, but no heads. Anyone else having this issue?

Anything above stone tools will give a higher drop chance for heads. Cleaver and Axe are what I use. But some heads just refure to drop. Shaleback heads and shells are nigh impossible. Have yet to receive a head and after nearly 20 hours in this patch only two of the three shells I need to test out that new Shaleback shield. Darn.

Also: Don't forget you can upgrade your tools now...so you can make a better iron hatchet or whatever.
