For the version encountered in Wintermute, see Field Dressing Your Kill, Vol. I (The Basics of Survival){{#if:|, [[]], and [[{{{4}}}]]|{{#if:| and [[{{{3}}}]]}}}}.

Field Dressing Your Kill, Vol. I is a Research Book used to improve the Carcass Harvesting skill. It can also be used as Fuel when starting a Fire.

Research

Field Dressing Your Kill, Vol. I can be researched for 10 hours that can be broken into multiple 1-hour minimum research sessions. 10 Carcass Harvesting skill points are awarded on completing the research. By selecting the Settled Mind Feat, research time will be reduced by 20%, putting it at 8 hours.

Research can only be performed under the following conditions:

There is light present to read
Warmth, Fatigue, Thirst, and Hunger exceed 0%
No negative Afflictions

If the player's fatigue, thirst or hunger meters go down to zero or if the environment becomes dark during a research session, the session will be terminated instantly. The hour of research that was in progress will not be completed and any time that had already been spent will be wasted. For a multiple-hour research session, only the incomplete hour will be lost, all the previous hours will still count towards completion of the book.
