How do I make humans edible?
« on: January 10, 2008, 04:03:00 am »
I'm making a mod with gnolls as a playable race, so it only seemed appropriate.

I'm sure you can give humans a Butcherable tag, kill them and then drag them to a butcher's shop.

Not sure how it would work, though. You might end up getting Human Meat from human traders   :eek:

Well, you would need to disable their [INTELLIGENT] tag... Intelligent creatures don't consume other intelligent creatures, as is.

Not if they're hostile tho. I set goblins to butcherable and they'll be eaten even with the intelligent tag in place. Looks like friendlies won't be consumed.

Setting them to [PET] will do the trick, but I'm not aware of ALL the side-effects of that.

I tried creating a civilization out of creatures with the pet tag once, it didn't seem to conflict with the [CAN_CIV] tag, and my creatures were butcherable and apparently edible to their own kind - only problem was they no longer had a preference screen (or rather, only the pet "ready for slaughter" screen), making work management rather impossible.

I think all you have to do is delete the [BUTCHERABLE_NONSTANDARD] tag and then when they die you can cut them up and eat them.

I've never tried it though so I can't say for sure it will work.

That would be nice.  Capture a sieging army and train some of them to be pets for your dwarves.   Eat the rest.

That thread lists some of the effects and problems with the pet and common domestic tags.

Ustxu Iceraped the Frigid Crystal of Slaughter was a glacier titan. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic feathered carp composed of crystal glass. It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.

You can just set your race to eat bones, then your gnolls will each the bones of dead humans :P I'm not sure what the flag is, I think it's [Bone_Carn] or something like that.

I made a new creature [HUMAN SLAVE], which kinda did the trick. At least now gnolls can take humans with them on embark, and breed or eat them. :3

Hmmm *human slave child stew*...

lmao, you can breed humans? Does it work? Do they pop out babies that run around and get into trouble ?YOu need to make it to where they can be trained into war animals too. You could have an army of human slave warriors to fight for you .  (Some of those Drow mods out there could learn from this and make Goblins and Kobolds breedable pets that can be trained into armies)

This works. I have done it several times previously for Humans and practically anything other than dwarves. The result is quite grizzly, but amazingly awesome.
