## Notes we already publish

- (use) Butchering is not just a delete button — the Pal hands over its normal drop table on the way out, the same items it would leave if you had killed it in the field. That makes a captured duplicate a bundle of materials you can cash in at base instead of going back out to farm the wild version.
- (use) The target has to be your active summoned Pal, not one sitting in the box or working at the base. Equip the cleaver, send the Pal out, then open the command wheel — the first slot flips from Pet to Butcher. There is no second confirmation after that, so check which Pal is actually out before you press it.
- (strategy) What drops is fixed per species, so the copy you feed to the cleaver makes no difference to the haul. Butcher the worst duplicate of a species and keep the one with the passives you want — a level 1 catch and a fully raised one give the same materials.
