Salty´s Manual: Scraping (In game since 1.22) is a Vintage Story mod by SaltyWater and Goldenrevolver. Salty’s Manual: Scraping replaces hide-processing menus with hands-on scraping, splitting, and cutting using knives and shears.
Why this mod is worth installing
A good fit for players who want hide preparation to feel physical and immersive instead of being handled through a GUI. It is especially useful for survival-focused worlds and anyone who enjoys small tactile interactions.
What Salty´s Manual: Scraping (In game since 1.22) adds
Place a soaked hide on the ground, equip a knife, and hold the interaction button to scrape it directly. The process is accompanied by sounds, particles, and an animation, making hide preparation feel like a physical task rather than a menu action.
Complete bear hides can be handled in the same way and divided into separate head and body parts. Shears provide another interaction for cutting hides into smaller pieces, giving the material-processing stage more visible steps.
The mod is designed as a small immersion and quality-of-life change: the underlying task remains familiar, but the player performs it in the world. Another crafting tweak that makes interactions instantaneous can override this behavior.
Hands-on hide scraping and cutting
A soaked hide is placed on the ground and scraped by holding right-click with a knife. The same interaction can split a complete bear hide, while shears cut hides into smaller pieces.
Hide processing without GUI windows
The interaction is shown as an in-world action with sounds, particles, and animations, removing the need for processing screens.
