Here's a random thought, not sure if it'd work. When you kill an animal and you get it's hide, it's instantly usable. That's not quite realistic. Skin needs to be cured / tanned.
A system for this could be:
A new building, something simple that looks like a few sticks in the ground just, something that the hide ( for moddeling purposes just let the old hide model rest on a model of a few sticks ) can rest on.
So that's the tannery construction. Now to cure / tan the hide:
Salt is needed to cure skin. So a possibility to take: sea water + bottle = salt water.
Then the system you use to bake clay -> right click on "hide rack" with the salt water equipped to get a bar that fills up, when full your hide is cured and a timer of say a day, maybe less ticks before the hide is done. Perhaps a colour change ( something darker ) of the hide to indicate that it's complete.
The process seems a bit long for the limited uses hide has though. Perhaps getting some other things in that require hide could be neat.
