🥩 Carrying Carcasses & Feeding Others
The Grab system is a powerful tool for moving food. Carnivores, and some omnivores, can use Grab to transport food to safer areas or share it with others. This mechanic helps with survival in solo play, group hunts, and even raising young animals.
⚖️ Weight Check System
When you attempt to grab a carcass, the game checks whether your animal is strong enough to lift it:
Strong enough: You can carry the entire carcass and drop it wherever you want.
Not strong enough: You’ll instead pull off a single meat chunk, which can be carried separately.
Either way, you gain the ability to transport food rather than being forced to eat it where it fell.
🎯 Why Move Food?
Moving food is a survival strategy with many benefits:
Safety: Relocate food to a quiet or hidden area, away from scavengers and ambush predators.
Accessibility: Take food into zones where carcasses don’t naturally spawn.
Efficiency: Keep carcasses close to your water source or den so you don’t waste time traveling back and forth.
🦁 Feeding Cubs & Young Animals
Younger animals often cannot effectively hunt or scavenge. Grab allows stronger animals to deliver food directly to them:
Parents can carry meat chunks back to cubs.
This ensures young animals survive long enough to grow.
It’s a crucial feature for raising and protecting the next generation.
🧑🤝🧑 Feeding Groups & Packs
Grab also enables group survival strategies:
Carry food to your allies so everyone can eat together in safety.
Establish a “feeding spot” for the group, reducing risks of ambush.
Share carcasses efficiently after a successful hunt.
This makes Grab an important social mechanic in multiplayer play.
✅ Summary
Grab allows you to move food as whole carcasses (if strong enough) or smaller meat chunks (if not). This system is vital for feeding cubs, supporting allies, and keeping your group safe by relocating meals to better areas. Whether solo or in a pack, mastering Grab makes survival easier and safer.
