[Fixed - persists in 3.50] Calf overweight

[nekot]

Hi Sami,

Could you check weight and amount of fur generated for calves? Seems like they have it as much as adults. I've had small reindeer doe and it's calf killed and calf weight more than it's parent, which is 196 (calf) to 180 (adult). Is that correct? Feels weird that animal with graphics 4 times smaller weights more that with normal graphics. It's bit after midwinter in game now, not sure if this may affect it.

thanks

I noticed this as well.  I brought down an elk and calf during the winter.  I didn't pay attention to the amount of meat, but the calf gave a 24lb fur and the "elk" gave 20lb.  Both furs were described as "winter" furs.

Bugged it was, smaller size of young animals wasn't taken into consideration when generating skinning results. Fixed now.

Did that fix also address the amount of meat? I've seen the same thing as nekot, i.e. that young elks and reindeer tend to yield adult amounts of meat regardless of season (they ought to be rather small in spring/summer when newly born, unless they're supposed to follow their mother for more than one year). I don't believe I've found any calf that definitely yielded calf amounts of meat.

There's no bug, nothing to fix there.
Just tested it out with bear and her cub, and elk and her cub. At leasat on my end the meat yield works just fine according to the young animal age. Elk calves follow their mother for about a year- You can determine the animal age (and size for meat yield) comparing the sprite size to the adult animal size. Easy to see with a mother animal if the cub/calf is very young or closing the adulthood.
