Forgotten beasts and butchering
« on: July 03, 2011, 02:07:25 pm »
I have noticed that some forgotten beasts made out of materials cannot be butchered. I have one made of green glass laying around and I would like to know if and how it is possible to somehow use it to manufacture green glass stuff.

Nope. Completely useless.

...If you have one of the display case mods, which add custom buildings that can use any item in constructing them, you could put the corpse on display as a trophy, but as corpses are valueless, that wouldn't be a particularly good idea. Random creatures made of non-meat substances are useless.

Common usage: garbage zone dump the corpse somewhere.  Display it in your dining hall.  It doesn't actually do anything, but it's fun to remember, "Ha, I killed THAT!"

I guess I'll just dump it in my dining hall and glare at it now and then. Thanks guys.

I heard that you could melt down metal creatures.

You heard wrong :P

You actually can melt them, but not for anything usable.  Drop the creature/corpse into magma and it'll melt, assuming it's not like iron or steel or something else magma safe.  You cannot smelt a corpse for bars.

FB bodies are worth 1 value, same as common domestic animals, and if it's steel then it's steel, same material, artifacts get no damage multiplier.  An artifact FB Steel Sword would be little more than an expensive sword - probably not very expensive, made of body parts it would likely submit to the bone artifact bug and only have 1 decoration.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

I read the title as "Forgotten Beasts and Bandersnatching"

You can bet that I was surprised.

Or maybe there's a god who's just completely insane and sends you to Detroit, Michigan in a new body if you ever utter the name "Pat Sajak".
