A butcher table is a production bench for butchering non-rotten creatures into raw meat and leather.

Acquisition

Constructing a butcher table requires 75 Stuff (Metallic/Woody, 750 for SMVs), 20 Wood and 2,000 ticks (33.33 secs) of work.

Summary

Butchering

Butcher tables are used to butcher fresh (not rotten) corpses into meat and leather. Colonists assigned to cooking will butcher creatures, after they have finished all regular cooking tasks. Butchering requires 450 ticks (7.5 secs) of work, modified by the butchery speed of the cook and up to two nearby tool cabinets.

The yield of butchering depends on the following factors:

The base yields of the animal
The butchery efficiency of the cook
The maturity stage of the animal.^{[Detail needed]}
A 66% multiplier for damaged corpses i.e. any animal not tamed and then cleanly slaughtered. ^{[Fact Check]}
A percentage multiplier for lost body parts.

Using a butcher table gives no penalty towards butcher yield, while the butcher spot only gives 70% yield. When a creature is butchered, it will create blood, which is considered filth.^{[Fact Check Needed]}

The Butcher Creature bill defaults to include all animals and exclude humanoids, but can be configured. The bill configuration can also restrict ingredients by hit points by adjusting the minimum and maximum sliders.

Butchering a human will inflict a −6 mood penalty to colonists on the map, and a stacking −6 penalty to the butcher. Colonists with the cannibal, bloodlust, or psychopath traits, or colonists following a suitable ideoligion, are immune to both moodlets.

Kibble

Butcher tables and butcher spots can be used to create kibble. Compared to the butcher spot, the butcher table offers more kibble from the same ingredients.

Name	Materials	Work to Make	Required Research	Type
50× Kibble	1 Nutrition (non-vegan) + 1 Nutrition (vegan/hay)	000,450 ticks (7.5 secs)	–	Food - Meal
Human meat		000,450 ticks (7.5 secs)	–	Food - Raw food
Insect meat		000,450 ticks (7.5 secs)	–	Food - Raw food
Meat		000,450 ticks (7.5 secs)	–	Food - Raw food
Twisted meat		000,450 ticks (7.5 secs)	–	Food - Raw food

Cleanliness

Butcher tables are considered dirty with a Cleanliness of -15, applied on the bottom-left-most tile. This reduces the average cleanliness of a room.

Analysis

Butcher tables are cheap, require no research, and offer a substantial boost to your butchering yield. If you are in any way reliant on meat for food, then you should make a butchering table ASAP.

As they are dirty and actively create filth, butcher tables should be placed outside of your kitchen, unless the kitchen is large enough to not risk the average cleanliness dropping below the -2 required to chance food poisoning. Optimally, it should be placed near your kitchen, just not in the same room. You can place it in the freezer, though note that temperatures below 10 °C (50 °F), i.e. all temperatures that refrigerate or freeze foods, will inflict a work speed penalty.
