Venison is harvested from Deer carcasses, which contain between 8.0 and 10.0 kg of raw meat. Consuming raw meat carries a high chance of contracting Food Poisoning.
At 0% condition food disappears if inside of a container, but not outside of containers or in the player's inventory.
Meat decays slower outdoors than indoors.
Carcasses of deer slain by wolves will have reduced yields (including meat) proportional to the time the wolf has been feeding, until "ravaged" where the carcass is un-harvestable.
Frozen deer carcasses created during world generation always contain 1 deer hide, 2 guts and 0.5-2.0 kg of meat.
