Note that I am now leaning towards having "parts", "bones", and "skins", not organs at this time. At release "bones" won't really be an option for many, and things like eyeballs and talons will just be considered "parts". Over time this will expand and continue to be developed.

Parts will likely be easiest, followed by bones and skins. Easier to lop off a claw or talon than it is to extract a bone, or peel off a skin undamaged. This will just be a global modifier, as hand-setting 500 more difficulties would become difficult to maintain... More difficult parts will teach slightly better.

A small variation in value will exist. All skinnable products are valued based on the circle of the critter they came off of. This means a war mammoth might have tusks worth 2 gold, bones worth 2.2 gold, and a hide worth 2.5 gold. Once tanned, the hide may go up or down in value depending on how good its stats are with the tanning system. See, most people won't be skinning for the purpose of making stuff. It is just an outlet for coin.

Very few critters will have multiple {{PRel|arrange command|arrange}} options at the onset. You'll be able to just ARRANGE something to get a list of what is possible, at which point it will scold you for not specifying a specific way to arrange it.
