I think there is a problem with the meat cleavers harvesting meat from predator mobs including bears, crocodiles, and wolfs. When using the iron and steel meat cleavers on the above stated mobs and I get very few strips of meat (2-4) compared to how much meat I get from using a meat cleaver on a pray mobs where I get 4-6 with an iron cleaver and 5-7 with a steel cleaver. I am wondering if this is a bug with the predator mobs or if this is as intended.
I have noticed similar events when harvesting bigger scorpions. They used to give exotic meat in the 20s. Now they give about the same as smaller one but it is feral meat.
They changed it so predator mobs drop feral flesh. The problem I am noticing is that some predator mobs (like the ones listed above) are dropping less meat with a meat cleaver then with a skinning knife.
