Raw hide is the skin of an animal . It can be used to make clothing , pelts , and leather , which is a material for armor, equipment, and more.

Obtaining

Raw hide is obtained by killing animals and harvesting their body by holding with a knife . The following animals drop hides:

• Small raw hide: Hare , raccoon , fox , bighorn sheep (young), goat (young), deer (young), and certain species of deer .

• Medium raw hide: Pig , hyena , wolf , certain species of goat , and certain species of deer .

Preservation

Raw hide lasts 5 days, which can be extended by storing it in a storage vessel and cellar . It can also be combined with salt in the crafting grid to make a salted hide. Salted hide has the same functionality as raw hide and lasts 83 days.

Raw hide that has been turned into oiled or soaked hide in the first step of pelt or leather working processes does not spoil.

History

Version		Description
1.10	rc.2	The hide drop rate from hyenas, boars, wolves, and bighorn sheep was doubled.
1.11	pre.1	Leather working was introduced. 4 different sizes of hides were added.
1.17.0	pre.1	Clothing and lamellar armor recipes were adjusted to have multiple crafting configurations that scaled with hide size, reducing the overall cost. The amount of fat needed for pelts was similarly adjusted.
1.19.4		New 3D models and textures, ground storage capability, and a fresh duration were added to hide.
1.22.0	pre.1	Bear hides can now be used directly in crafting. Unique hides for raccoons and foxes were added. The output of the hunter backpack recipe was adjusted to 2 if using a huge pelt. Soaked hides, scraped hides, and bear pelts with an intact head can now be processed by interacting with a knife or shears in hand while it is placed on the ground.

Notes

• In some clothing recipes, hides that are larger than the required size can be used, and doing so will return any excess hide. 1 huge hide is equivalent to 2 large hides, 4 medium hides, or 8 small hides. This does not apply to armor and equipment.

• Generic huge raw hides are not obtainable in normal gameplay, since brown bears and polar bears drop their specific hides.
