  • Always seems to be 4 hours to complete.

Flavours thus far:

  • Basil, Caraway, Cardamom, Cheese, Cumin, Fennel, Ginger, Honey, Nutmeg, Oregano, Rosemary, Saffron, Sugar, Sumac, Thyme
  • If one fails at mixing in a spice, then some of said spice is lost
  • Having trouble mixing meat with a spice? Try making smaller wads to start with.

Meat grinder/extruder research

  • 1 tiny hunk = 1 tiny wad (33 g) = not enough meat for even one sausage
  • 2 tiny hunks = 1 small wad (66 g) = 1 sausage
  • 3 tiny hunks = 1 small wad (99 g) = 1 sausage


  • 1 small hunk = 1 small wad (100 g or 2/9 lb) = 1 sausage
  • 2 small hunks = 1 small wad (6/9 lb) = short string (5) of sausages
  • 3 small hunks = 1 small wad (8/9 to 1 lb) = short string (7) of sausages
  • 4 small hunks = 1 regular wad (1 3/9 lb) = string (10) of sausages


  • 1 regular hunk = 1 regular wad (1 6/9 to 1 7/9 lb) = string (14) of sausages
  • 2 regular hunks = 1 regular wad (4 3/9 to 4 4/9 lb) = string (35) of sausages
  • 3 regular hunks = 1 regular wad (5 2/9 to 5 3/9 lb) = string (43) of sausages


Hunk Size Research

For a given critter, what is most important bit to take if it is too large to cut up and put in the icebox. Note that the butchering bonus may assist in determining how "efficient" one is at acquiring meat from a given bit. In other words, a larger bonus may provide more meat for a corpse bit compared to a smaller bonus. Also, larger bonuses allow for butchering larger/heavier corpse pieces.

Squids don't make mollusc sausages

Someone put in the chart that mollusc sausages could be made from giant squid - they can't. Giant squids make squid sausages and Sam won't accept those if you're on the mollusc mission. See:

"Sam Slager says with a Morporkian accent: This very long string of curry squid sausages isn't the type of sausages I asked for. I

    need mollusc sausages. 

You offer to give a very long string of curry squid sausages to Sam Slager. "

Freshness

Sam will not accept sausages that are "too old", or ones that are made from hunks or wads of meat that are "too old", even if they've been kept fresh in an icebox:

Sam Slager says: This very long string of shark sausages smells a little too old to sell. I only accept freshly made sausages.

It therefore doesn't seem possible to save extra sausages for a future order.

He also does this if the sausages are freshly made (deboned, ground, extruded) from a corpse that was killed a while ago but kept fresh, so it seems the deciding factor is how long ago the creature was killed, not how long ago any of the actual sausage-making steps were done.

Experimenting

Questions to try to answer:

  • In general, what determines how "old" Sam considers the meat to be?
    • Is it just a simple timer from when the animal was killed?
    • Does it make a difference when later steps (deboning, grinding, mixing, extruding) were completed?
    • Does it make a difference if the animal was killed before you applied for the mission?
    • Does the timer pause when you're logged out?
  • How old can it be before he'll reject it for fulfilling orders?
  • For herbal missions, does it matter if the herb isn't fresh?

First experiment: I accepted an order for 25 snake sausages, killed an anaconda, made sausages from the skin, tore off a string of 25, then tore it into individual sausages, which I put back in the icebox. Then, I delivered the sausages to Sam one at a time, with time between each, to see exactly when he would stop accepting them for being "too old". (All time was spent logged in, and sausages were kept in the icebox.) I started on the hypothesis that it might be around an hour, but it turned out to be more than that! I ran out of sausages before he stopped accepting them.

  • Time accepted order: 4:28:11
  • Time of kill: 4:30:34
  • Time of taking skin from corpse: 4:30:52
  • Time of deboning: 4:34:03
  • Time of grinding: 4:37:40
  • Time of extruding: 4:40:35
  • Latest time Sam accepted a sausage: 6:31:32
  • Time Sam rejected a sausage for being too old: N/A

Conclusion: meat can be at least two hours old before he rejects it.

Second experiment: Same as the first, but with a fox (50 sausages) and torso. This time I went right up to the time limit for the mission.

  • Time accepted order: 10:58:31
  • Time of kill: 10:59:54
  • Time of taking torso from corpse: 11:00:06
  • Time of deboning: 11:03:51
  • Time of grinding: 11:06:32
  • Time of extruding: 11:08:44
  • Latest time Sam accepted a sausage: 2:58:19
  • Time Sam rejected a sausage for being too old: N/A

Conclusion: meat can be at least four hours old before he rejects it.

Third experiment: Made sausages before accepting the order for them. 25 monkey sausages.

  • Time of kill: 3:00:52
  • Time of taking torso from corpse: 3:01:03
  • Time of deboning: 3:06:11
  • Time of grinding: 3:07:03
  • Time of extruding: 3:07:40
  • Time accepted order: 3:08:16
  • Latest time Sam accepted a sausage: 7:08:08
  • Time Sam rejected a sausage for being too old: N/A

Conclusion: the limit is more than four hours.

Fourth experiment: As third, but killed several small animals (lobster, jellyfish, octopus, viper, rabbit), and kept their corpses in an icebox for several hours before looking for a mission. (I didn't expect to necessarily use all of them--I just gathered several to improve the chances I'd be able to find a relevant mission in the appropriate timeframe.)

  • Time of kill (octopus): 2:55:55
  • Time of kill (lobster): 2:57:07
  • Time of kill (jellyfish): 2:58:28
  • Time of kill (viper): 3:01:15
  • Time of kill (rabbit): 3:03:01
  • Accepted mission (rabbit): 6:18:29
  • Time of deboning: 6:56:29
  • Time of grinding: 6:56:45
  • Time of extruding: 6:56:49
  • Latest time Sam accepted a sausage: 6:59:18
  • Time Sam rejected a sausage for being too old: 7:17:44

Conclusion: Limit is under 4:14:43, assuming it's based on when the kill was made.

Resigning

You can resign from the job, that much is known. I had to resign from one today while partially fulfilling (Mixed meat + ginger) due to RW happenings and was awarded 63050xp and no money for 126/200. I'm not sure that is common knowledge. Would this also have been awarded during 'logout' or only if resigning half-way? (Brinner)
