Mobile Butcher - Realistic Livestock Version

This is a dedicated compatibility edition for FS25_RealisticLivestockRM.

⚠️ Realistic Livestock RM Required

Only install and use this version if you are running Realistic Livestock RM.

• Enable FS25_RealisticLivestockRM.

• Enable this FS25_MobileButcher_Realistic_Livestock_Addon.

What It Does

Press Left Shift + B while on foot, choose an animal pen, and select the individual animals you want to send to the Mobile Butcher.

The animal list displays each animal’s:

• Realistic Livestock identity

• Sex

• Age

• Actual live weight

• Health

• Meat-quality genetics

• Estimated processing result

The animal screen uses high-contrast Farming Simulator colors, two-line animal details, and a visible white checkmark beside selected animals.

Pressing Escape or Back returns you to the husbandry picker, allowing another pen to be opened without leaving Mobile Butcher.

The selected animals are removed when the order is confirmed. A butcher truck visits the farm’s Meat Pickup, and the packaged meat is released there after the configured processing time.

If the truck cannot follow the map’s road network, it falls back to appearing at the Meat Pickup so the order can still be completed.

Required Setup

• Enable FS25_RealisticLivestockRM.

• Enable this FS25_MobileButcher ZIP.

• Build one Meat Pickup from the Construction menu before placing an order.

• Multiplayer is disabled because it has not been tested. It can be activated in the modDesc if you wish to try it. If you do, please report any issues.

Products

Animal Product Cattle Beef Water buffalo, female or male Buffalo Pigs Pork Chickens Chicken Goats, female or male Goat/Chevon Sheep Mutton

• Horses are deliberately unsupported. This is a personal choice, and at this time they will not be added. If you wish to create your own boxes and add them to the mod, that is your choice. Thanks for understanding.

Yield and Eligibility

Packaged meat is calculated separately for every selected Realistic Livestock animal:

Live weight × dressing percentage × retail yield percentage × quality factor

The quality factor uses the animal’s Realistic Livestock meat-quality genetics and is restricted by the minimum and maximum values configured in butcherConfig.xml.

The preview uses the current game economy multiplier when estimating the product’s sale value.

The expected processing net is guaranteed separately for every animal using this stacked formula:

Delivered replacement cost.

Delivered replacement cost is the current Realistic Livestock dealer purchase price plus the Realistic Livestock delivery fee.

Meat kilograms are not artificially inflated to reach the target value.

Default Butcher Fees

• Cattle or buffalo: $200 per animal

• Pigs, sheep, or goats: $50 per animal

• Chickens: $6 per animal

Default Minimum Ages

• Cattle and buffalo: 12 months

• Pigs, sheep, and goats: 6 months

• Chickens: 3 months

Animals below 50% health are refused. Animals that Realistic Livestock marks as dead, protected from sale, or actively diseased are also refused.

Transaction Safety

Every selection is checked again when the player confirms the order.

Realistic Livestock animals are resolved using their stable farm ID, unique ID, and birthday-country identity. The shared legacy 0-0 ID is never used.

Duplicate selections are rejected.

The promised product and its product-type pallet sale bonus are reserved at the Meat Pickup before the selected animals are removed. That reservation is written to the savegame.

If the game is saved and reloaded during an active butcher visit, both the reserved product and its sale bonus are recovered into the normal pallet queue.

Configuration

The butcherConfig.xml file controls:

• Butcher fees

• Maximum animals per subtype for each visit

• Minimum age and health requirements

• Whether active diseases block processing

• Dressing percentage

• Retail yield percentage

• How strongly meat-quality genetics affects yield

• Minimum and maximum quality-factor safety limits

• Live-sale bonus percentage

• Delivered-replacement bonus percentage

• Truck selection

• Processing time

• Drive-in behavior

• Parking distance

Compatibility Boundary

Realistic Livestock RM is a required and unchanged dependency. No files within Realistic Livestock RM are modified or overwritten.

Mobile Butcher uses Realistic Livestock’s public individual-animal fields, stable identity helper, animal lookup path, and pending-removal/update workflow without inheriting its legacy animal screen.

• Do not use this edition without FS25_RealisticLivestockRM enabled.
