Characteristics
Overview
Raw Mutton. Eating it will damage your health, try cooking it first.
Two roads lead away from this stack, and only one of them ends at dinner. Raw mutton does nothing good on its own; its text says eating it damages your health and tells you to cook it first, like every other raw meat in the game.
The first road is the plain one. Throw it on a barbeque or any fire and it becomes cooked mutton, a steak like the rest. Leave the raw stack sitting in a box instead and it can turn into spoiled mutton, which only hurts.
The second road is the pie. The shepherds pie is a hearty mutton pie by its own text, and for a short time it makes livestock grow used to you twice as fast and far less likely to turn on you. Picture your group's sheep at the hitch and trough behind the base, still wary of everyone. That is where a few pies pay off more than a few steaks.
Where the mutton itself comes from is the part the game texts leave out. The name points to sheep, but how they show up on your server is worth checking before you plan a pie supply around it.
