Me need more BONES!
« on: June 02, 2011, 08:59:47 am »

I want do bone crafts, bone bolts, bone armor and etc... I want bone decorations...

I want to sell figurines made ​​of bone elves... to elves...

I want kill demons and make goblets from demon's bones... And decorate all furniture in hell fortress by demon's bones...

I want send dwarves which equipped in armor from the bones of the goblins... against a goblin siege...

It is so brutal, so epic, so... dwarvish! But I have only all these useless corpses and (partial) sceletons!

Do you know how I can make mod for bone extraction from corpses or sceletons?

I'd be interested to know this as well.  The only solution I've seen was changing some tags in dwarves to allow them to eat sentient creatures - but is there something to be set on the enemies as well?

I play fortress defense, and I noticed that I've got tons of beak dog bone bolts, beak dogs being a race that occasionally sieges me.  Perhaps they're missing the sentient tag?

Just change the raws so that it is "acceptable" for Dwarves to eat and butcher sentinent creatures.

I believe you will need to regen the world for entity tags, such as ethics, to actually do anything. Also, if you have animal partial skeletons and such, they must be in a refuse stockpile before they will be "butchered" to produce bones.

Havnt exprienced this myself, though it can seem that way if you do have a refuse stockpile and a corpse that isnt in there yet. The game assings a hauling job to the body(part) before any dwarf actualy comes to haul it, and as such blocks other jobs from using it.

As for partial goblin skeletons, I accidentally had some partial succes with reactions. It picks the partial skeletons, but also some unrotted bodyparts. Its also impossible to produce bones with the reactions, best you can do is bone bars or something (which I did, it works, kinda). Thing is, the race I tested this with didnt have any qualms with butchering sapients in the first place. If reactions also take ethics into account then this is all kinda moot.

I may continue science on this later, once I finish my current armor man mod, which has been refusing to work for a good half year now.

Adventurers can't make bone crafts either.

Adventurers can't butcher sentients regardless of ethics.
Only works in fortress mode at the moment.
