I've been trying to use these skins, but they won't be tanned or made into leather goods. Are they really useless, or am I missing something? The wiki is remarkably ambiguous on the subject of non-leather skins.

[Girlinhat]

They, along with nervous tissue and hair, are useless - unless you mod in some very easy reactions for chitin armor and feather decorations?

[kotekzot]

I haven't modded reactions for a good, long while. Will these reactions make goods with proper quality levels?

By the way, hair can be spun into thread at a farmer workshop. Such thread cannot be woven into cloth (though it can be dyed, for some reason), making it perfect for hospitals.

[Girlinhat]

Really?  That's interesting...  Previously hair has been waste material.  Either way, they should use proper quality levels, this was reported fixed in .21 or so.  I haven't tested it, but modding forumites claim it to be so.

[kotekzot]

Alright, thanks.Doubt it's worth the hassle, given I have about 5 pieces of chitin.

So you can fix your wounds by sewing them shut with the hair of your slain enemies? That is Dorf.

"I AM THE AXELORD! I WILL SLAY YOU AND USE YOUR HAIR TO SUTURE MY CUTS!

RRAAAAAAAGGGHHH

I told my friend "you can sew your wounds shut using the hair of fallen enemies."
She asked, "Yes, but how do you weaponize it?"
I responded, "There is nothing more weaponized than a healthy dwarf."

She's getting there, she's almost a proper dwarf...

Lofn's Tanning Mod has reactions to make scales, chitin and feathers usable as leather substitutes, as well as giving some animals fur instead of leather. It does take a little work to mod every creature that needs modding, but I never play without it. Mainly becausse in my version of the game we get seasonal swarms of 100+ giant antswandering around the countryside in most parts of the world, and when you send out your living buzzsaws (a.k.a. Adamantine-suited axedwarves) there's a lot of bug bits to butcher and a lot of chitin you'd otherwise have to dump.

Chitin armor and stuff like that would be cool. Makes me think of my crab shell bow in FFXIV

[tryrar]

....I thought the current version has chitin tannable already? The only thing the wiki says is scales can't be tanned, and tthat tanning chitin yields treated chitin

[UristMcDwarf]

Make scales craftable into scalemail,
then make armour from dragon scales.
Then you win.
