What is a Federation Hunter (HotC)?

Hunter of the commonwealth adds a new mechanic to collect meat, bones, skins and other materials from animals in a new immersive way.

Features

Examine your prey and get a few options you can execute (requires binding in MCM):

Butcher

Collect meat from your prey. The amount of meat depends on the weight of the prey. As an optional feature, the carcass will be dismembered at the time of slaughter.

cannibals

Are you a cannibal? It doesn't matter! You can also kill humans. HotC has added several new meat items related to humans.

Raw meat from lower arms, upper arms, legs, eyes, head, brain.

New cooking recipes for stews, soups, and other meat-related things like bacon, jerky, and more.

Collect blood (BoS Quest related)

Enemies will no longer surrender to you after you kill them. You must collect blood samples directly from the prey. There is a chance of failure, similar to the drop rate of blood samples in vanilla.

If this isn't immersive for you, you can enable tube collection. This can be toggled via the MCM. You can now make test tubes to collect blood samples. Test tubes can be crafted at the Chemstation.

Collect nuclear material and glowing blood

Instead of easily picking up your nuclear material, you are now going to get your hands dirty!

Harvest

Many items that could be easily looted from corpses now require harvesting. Bloatfly won't hand you its glands again. This also removes the random element of finding a specific item. If you want that Bloatfly gland, you can always get it now.

Skin: This option allows you to collect the skin of your prey. In addition to the vanilla experience, you can now get skins from a variety of other animals. For example, you can now also skin cats, dogs, rabbits, mice, and more.

Dispose

Is there a corpse that's haunting you, lying in your settlement that doesn't want to disappear? Just dispose of it with HotC and it's gone!

Melee weapons as tools

Not only can your combat knife slice through some ghouls, it can also help you disassemble your prey. Not every melee weapon is available and they vary. Using the Switchblade takes longer than using the Ripper. All suitable melee weapons have been sorted as tools.

If you're using modded melee weapons and you want to use them too, don't worry, I've got you covered. You can configure a hotkey using the MCM which will tell you how good your current melee weapon is and give you the option to add it if it's not overridden. When no weapons are equipped, you can reset all weapons you added.

level system

Gain experience by handling your prey. Each level you gain improves your hunter skills, reducing the time it takes you and increasing the amount of meat you get from a carcass.

You can set a key in the MCM to view your current level and experience.

The current maximum level is 5. Once you reach 5, you no longer gain any experience. I will add this feature in the future!

portable cooking pot

You can create a portable cooking pot at the Chemstation that you can take with you wherever you go. This is a miscellaneous item that can be dropped from your inventory to place it on the ground. Once you're done, you can pack it up again and take it with you.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
