[40a] Chopped of limbs are not forbidden upon creature death
« on: August 19, 2008, 10:04:26 am »

My current fort (at work) is a nano fort in a otherwise completely unmodded game of 40a.

I have the new options turned on in the general orders and so far they are working fairly well. I usually play with "Dwarves gather refuse from outside", to get bones and skulls of decayed corpses.

Since I am constantly under attack by zombie deer, zombie foxes or zombie wolves, there are a lot of bodies and bones around. Usually I wait for a clear moment, gather all the bones and prepare for the next wave.

I tried the new feature and it worked. The deer died and its corpse (and later the bones and skull) was forbidden. Next a wolf was cloven asunder, paws and its tail flying into different directions. All lopped off body parts remained unforbidden after the wolf died, although the corpse had been correctly marked as forbidden.

I have no idea how this affects clothing or sieges, because I don't get goblins yet, and have no other forts here to test it.

I can confirm this with goblins and their items. The items on the body are forbidden, but the items on severed arms, legs or heads aren't.
