Butcher will not carve up mutilated animals
« on: February 09, 2015, 03:10:30 am »

Were*insert random here* attacked my fort but i had the ability to get my population into a deep burrow fast though tey took their time raising the bridges and the werething got in. It made it to my first pen and slaughtered 2 cats 2 dogs 2 pigs and left nothing but corpses, some designated mutilated others designated just as corpses.

My butcher however does not seem to want to touch these corpses and i could have sworn i was able to butcher corpses of animals i did not dispatch before.

Am i just not checking my settings right or is there something i'm missing. Nothing that was slaughtered by the were*randomgeneration* was sentient.

note: Also yes i have baby poults tethered to ropes around the perimeter of the map but it just wasn't good enough for early warning
I think i will have to increase the density.

You can't butcher dead stray animals.
And you can't butcher small body parts (for example, they can butcher elephant heads, but your butcher will likely ignore buzzard heads).
