Potential use for Rotten Flesh

[SimianChaos 1]

So in randomly perusing the net I ran across this mod and it got me to thinking, since we can't eat the rotten flesh (a good thing) there should be some other potential use for it. What about some crude leather of some sort?

 

Obviously we'd use the 'hardcore' recipe or some variant thereof. We have Rock Salt so in theory we could craft that into salt and use it to cure the flesh. That doesn't seem like a good idea however due to the fact that it's a singular type of item.

 

Anyway, I never played TFC before b77 so I don't know what it was like but I can tell there are some problems caused by the lack of planks. I also ran across that Backpack mod and think that one might use the two together, although modifying the backpack so it's not as big or has some other limitations upon it. I'd definitely limit it to a single backpack in your inventory though, no idea how that could be done however.

 

Anywho, that's me two bits, what think?

Some use for rotten flesh would be awesome. I am not sure about leather but rotten flesh should either just be removed or made to have a purpose. 

 

On the subject of backpacks.. You can just use clay vessels. They do provide 4 slots that you can fill with any small items. You can also place them on the ground without risk of despawning. That should be plenty of storage until you find the metals to make a sawblade and begin spamming planks.

I vote no.  My reason is the one of real-life practicality... servers get bogged down when folks fight zombies with their current a.i.  If there's an added incentive folks will lag servers more killing zombies.  Until zombies are fixed I'd say that they shouldn't drop anything.

Have you tried the combo and see if it works? I'd try but since we don't have furnaces I don't know haha. I'm definitely for this idea though. You have to travel a lot in this mod and I'm tired of having to make multiple trips. An example of this is having to go find rocks that contain Native Copper, then having to travel all the way back home, collect your mining tools, head back out and mine. I say it's multiple trips because copper for example with a very large vein will completely fill your inventory. Anyways, I'm for this.

My suggestion for rotten flesh would be to mix it with water (and possibly another ingredient) to make a fertilizer eg "blood and bone" to boost the nutrient levels back into farmland

 

edit: ok i even have recipe ... 1 rotten flesh + 1 bonemeal + 1 bucket of water = 1 bucket of liquid fertiliser usable only on farmland

On a subject of eating rotten flesh, I can recommend this particular meal. Careful, though.

This isn't just sea mammals, like wikipedia says, but deer can be prepared like that too, assuming you've got enough swamp.

Graffisk is fish prepared by burying it underground until it ferments. It was done by Nordic peoples and Vikings. Same concept.

I honestly am noot inclined to use human skin for leather purpouses, unless we're going to be writing the freaking Necronomicon here....
