Can't cut the bear head off of bear pelt. Just makes rawhide pants.

[DukeDerpyton]

Ok so im trying to start working on my bear armor as I had 2 bear belts and placed the knife above it in the crafting menu but made rawhide pants instead. Is there something I'm missing with the bear armor or am I just screw on try to make bear armor right now as I think the rawhide recipe might have overoad the recipe to get the head?

I think you have to set it on the ground now to cut the head off

That doesnt seem to work either? Any other suggestions?

If your hide has successfully cured then it shouldn't turn into rawhide pants at all. It should turn into knee-high fur boots instead. Make sure you've combined the raw bear hide with two rendered fat and waited 48 hours. Once that's done:

1. Place the pelt on the ground with shift-rmb
2. With a knife in your main hand, shift+rmb on the body of the pelt

Thank you! That was indeed what I had to do.
