Jerky, pemmican, and smokehouses

[Luke_ksmith]

These could be 3 tiers of food preservation making meat a more viable food source to travel with and store. Jerky could provide the least satiation but be the cheapest to make, just use a knife on some meat and get shredded meat, then leave it on a screen or a rack of some kind in the sun( an oven could be used later on perhaps). If you want a slightly better but more expensive food source you could make pemmican, start by making jerky but then mixing it with animal fat and or berries to get pemmican which can last even longer and gives more satiation. Finally smokehouses, smoked meat and fish could give the most satiation but maybe not last as long. You could balance them a lot and make them accessible pretty early or make them really good and lock them behind a technology tier like refractory bricks.

Not sure about pemmican, but jerky and smokehouses are in the mod Primitive Survival. There are several mods that add pemmican, but I have not tried any of them.
