Deconstructing Tams

We should be able to deconstruct tam o'shanters into one or two steel wools.

You know, now that you mentioned it, I really think it's time we add more unique items. Like, I understand that pigs dropping the same meat as deerclops, beefalo, walruses, tallbirds etc.. is a way to simplify things, but I don't really think it would hurt if just SOME of these drops would be more unique.

Like otters dropping something else like their skin or fat. Sharks dropping their fin or teeth.

There's so much more space for little survival things like this. I wish Klei would focus a bit more on these small mechanics from time to time. Their game is getting very old and outdated.

shark tooth could be used to make a unique item etc..

This wouldn't be a bad idea If we actually had inventory space and If animal specific meat is introduced we should get domestic animals so that we can farm the meat without using some specific design that a lot of people on the forums would say is cheesing or bug abusing and I can partially agree with them that it doesn't look good when pigs are running into a wall because you put something behind it that they are pathing to eat or using statues but currently it would ruin experience for too many people If this was changed in any way.

Tams continue to pile up and aren't used after you get enlightened crown but that is progression. I don't know how I feel about this change since steel wool is unique and isn't often. There is only 2 recipes that could be useful and Ewelet pet but now we have nightmare saddle and brush isn't that impactful.

For a late beefalo taming it would be impactful IMO: if you are behind during the first winter in taming, it can cut up to 25% of your remaining time before spring, or if you have to complete it in spring, it would also make the chore a bit easier. You can even start it in spring and the brush will allow you to have your beef fully tamed before summer. Also, not in every world people kills FW and grinds more than one shadow atrium before the first summer, so war saddles still have their uses.

You can still do all that now, but you would be stuck with the RNG chance to get an ewecus or two during the first seasons (which is a very low chance). Even though getting enough steel wools for your crafts through tams would also be RNG, it just adds options in the general chances to rush a brush/war saddle.

I think it's a small change that would add possibilities of re-using tams in a different way, where today there is none.
