Problem with skeletons
« on: February 18, 2014, 10:08:06 pm »
I have some skeletons in my refuse stockpile and my butchers are constantly trying to butcher them for bones but failing for some reason... They pick the skeleton, go to the butcher shop, work a little and then return the skeleton, and again. Somebody know why is this caused?

Is there any way to know who a corpse/skeleton was in life?? Its impossible to know if a corpse is from a dwarf or what if it only says Uko Asnoagur partial skeleton....

This bug had been noted for sometime.
The only solution for now is to forbid them.

By the way I think you should post yout problem in question or bug report topic. Or try search for it their cause I have seen this bug being reported by 5 different people already  :P

The main problem is, that this bug has me stumped. Usually people reports things, and my reaction is: Sure, thats because of X, let me fix it.

This bug? No idea what causes it.

It only seems to affect named creatures, I've had it happen with every sentient as well as named war boars, but never with an unnamed corpse. Seems like it might be some base game bug that doesn't manifest without some of the changes Masterwork does, so I'd imagine it's not fixable. Thankfully it's not a huge issue unless you don't notice your three butcher shops have been mincing the same skeletons for over a year and a half while other corpses rot  ::)

If you have fastdwarf on you'll find they often manage to complete the job. I think it has something to do with using refuse in a reaction. Same thing with body parts and corpses iirc.
