Buffalo

Postby El_Skwidd » Sun Oct 16, 2005 3:48 pm

I can't remember, did buffalo ever give fur before?

And if they did, why don't they now?

Or do they and I'm just blind?

Last time I killed a buffalo, I seem to remember only getting hide... which confused me. Buffalo are pretty furry creatures... or hairy, whatever you want to call it. Unless, of course, Cantr has a special species of bald buffalo...

The wiki (http://cantr.net/mwiki/index.php?title=Buffalo) does not list fur as a drop resource for buffalo. The information was provided by Anthony Roberts and can be considered reliable.

All right, thankya, Sho.

But that leaves the important question, and the real reason for the thread: Why not?

Ask RD. Buffalo fur is indeed used, for example in hats, at http://www.bisonridgeranch.com/Cbisonhat.htm, or robes, as in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandan#Dress.

I don't think you can get both fur and hide off of an animal, you can't use it as hide once it has been used as fur, and to make it hide you would have to scrape the fur off of it.

The mountain goat (http://cantr.net/mwiki/index.php/Mountain_goat) begs to differ.
We could have a big argument about realism here, or we could agree that making furry animals with stout hides drop both hide and fur is preferable to creating another manufacturing chain involving bare hide, furry hide and fine fur, or whatever we decide is most realistic.

Is it already possible to turn fur into hide using a fur-scraper? I've never tried it IC... or OOC for that matter.

If the mountain goat drops both hide and fur, then it only makes sense that the buffalo should drop hide and fur as well. They're sort of alike, are they not?

I was under the impression that the fur-scraper was only used when making fur clothing...

Fur and hide are not currently connected. As Fleegle says, the fur-scraper is a tool only used to make certain things using fur.
