I need a bit more information about hunting
« on: May 16, 2008, 04:16:00 pm »

I'm currently trying the peasant challenge (no skills, no items, no food, nudda) and I've got 2 dwarves out hunting.

They've killed a couple of hoary marmots, but they're just leaving the carcasses on the ground. What do I need to do for them to become a food source? Build a butchery?

Do you have "Dwarves collect refuse from outside" enabled?

The right stockpiles? Corpses will be taken to a Refuse stockpile until they're needed by a Butcher, I believe (so you could make a custom Stockpile underground that accepts only corpses, so that they don't rot away before you get around to using them).

Hunters will automatically return their kills to the butcher's workshop, or failing that, the dining room (or possibly any meeting area). If you don't have either, then they'll just let the corpse stay where it is.
