So I have this saltwater crocodile woman adventurer, and I have a load of prepared human brains. Unfortunately I can only lick them. How do I modify things so the brains are edible?

[BodyGripper]

I believe it is done by going into the raws for your current save (something like "Dwarf Fortress\data\save\region1\raw\objects"), and modifying "entity_default.txt" with some text editor.  Find your civilization type, and change "ETHIC:EAT_SAPIENT_KILL:UNTHINKABLE" to something like "ETHIC:EAT_SAPIENT_KILL:ACCEPTABLE".


I've been corrected.

Doesn't work, has nothing to do with ethics. You gotta use a reaction beforehand which targets a sapient (sentients can feel, sapients can think about feeling, you can eat sentients, but not sapients) and removes [CAN_LEARN] before you kill it, or use dfhack to flip the item.flags1.dead_dwarf to false.

Raise the corpse with a necromancer's spell before butchering it. You'll have to make sure it's not mangled. Then strike it down again and butcher it. That way you can eat it's flesh and use it's bones for crafts.

Can't wait for Toady to add cooking so we can make use of all those prepared organs.

Edit: Whoops, just realized you were asking for a solution which involves modding. What Max suggested should work.

My bad, thanks for the correction!
