The Large Animal Bone is a heavy bone that can be swung as a one-handed blunt weapon. It trains the Short Blunt skill. It weighs 2 and swings a little faster than base.
As a weapon it is a weak stopgap that breaks quickly. Its real value is as a crafting material. It becomes a Bone Club, a Long Sharp Bone, a Bone War Hatchet Head and several spiked weapons. Large Animal Bones turn up in doghouses. The Construction Worker is the best occupation for short blunt. It starts with the most Short Blunt skill. The Blacksmith and the Carpenter also start with some Short Blunt skill.
Combat
The Large Animal Bone swings at a speed of 1.1 and reaches 1.1 tiles. Each hit deals between 0.5 and 1.1 damage, so a zombie takes several hits to drop. The crit chance starts at 25 percent, and a crit doubles the damage.
The bone is one-handed, which leaves the other hand free for a flashlight. Its endurance cost per swing is modest. The Short Blunt skill raises its speed, damage and crit chance as it levels.
The bone suits an emergency fight when nothing better is at hand. Turning it into a Bone Club with two Leather Strips is usually the better use.
Uses
The Large Animal Bone feeds a long list of recipes. Two Leather Strips turn it into a Bone Club or a Sturdy Bone Club at Maintenance 1. A whetstone or file and a blade sharpen it into a Long Sharp Bone at Carving 2. Carving 3 turns it into a Bone War Hatchet Head. It also carves into a Bone Fleshing Tool or four Large Bone Beads. A hammer smashes it into two Bone Pieces at Strength 4. At a forge or with a welding torch it becomes the core of spiked clubs and the Scrap Metal Morningstar.

Repair
The Large Animal Bone has only 5 condition. Each hit has a 1 in 5 chance of taking a point off, so it breaks fast. The Short Blunt and Maintenance skills both lower that chance. Duct tape, adhesive tape and glue repair it with no skill needed. Zip ties need Maintenance 1, wood glue needs Carpentry 2 and epoxy needs Maintenance 3.
Locations
The Large Animal Bone is found in doghouses. Any doghouse has a fair chance of holding one.
The places where it spawns, with the rough chance per container.
| Location | Container | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Any building | Doghouse | 6.7% |
Notes
- Crafting the bone into a Bone Club gives a far more lasting weapon.
- Check doghouses in backyards when bones are needed for crafting.
- Smashing the bone into Bone Pieces needs a Strength level of 4.
