Simple Chains Mod: Leather

medoes Simple Chains Mod: Leather Mod adds a leather processing chain for players who want a more demanding resource production system. Instead of getting finished leather directly, pawns must produce tanning liquor, build a tanning vat, and process raw hides and pelts over several days.

medoes Simple Chains Mod: Leather Features

The medoes Simple Chains Mod: Leather Mod overhauls leather production by replacing direct leather drops with a multi-step tanning process. Butchered animals now drop hides instead of finished leather, and pawns must boil tanning liquor at a campfire or stove before using a tanning vat to convert hides into usable materials.
