Werewolf? Where?!
« on: May 26, 2009, 09:17:32 pm »
I randomly started getting cancellation massages like:
Urist McClerk cancels store item in bag: Interruped by werewolf
But when I looked in the units screen, there were no werewolves.
I zoomed to my clerk and noticed many chunks; when I loo<k>ed at them, they were werewolf chunks. Long story short: thank you dogsplosion

There's probably a corpse around, or it fled the map.

Your dogs probably ripped it to shreds.

Corpses can lose infinite numbers of "chunks" (and all their limbs and head) and still be a full-sized "corpse".  If there was that much damage and it fled, there should be a blood trail.

Maybe a dwarf already collected it? Maybe if you check the z-stock menu?

In fact, there was a corpse in a pile of ~15 chunks near a few dogs. Can I butcher it?

"Werewolf..."
"Werewolf?"
"Where wolf? ...There, wolf ...There, castle."
"Why are you talking like that?"
"Oh, I thought you wanted me to."

That just came to mind when I read the title.

Next thing you know, whenever a dwarf named Fraubluka introduces herself, all the horses neigh.

EDIT: Fixed quote (Thanks Albedo)

There wolf.  There castle...

(Oh, we could go off on a BIG tangent with that one...) ;D

Yeppers!  (And iirc, ww's have a material value of like x10?)

Under <o>rders, set <r>efuse to "Dwarves collect from outside" (or words to that effect), and make sure you have a refuse stockpile (near your butchery?) set to accept ww corpses. 

Or, use a dump technique - that sometimes gets faster results, but make sure to unforbid it after it's been dumped. (Also, it will rot faster if not in a stockpile.)

(Did you make a yummy noise?)
