Bone/shell/skull stockpile?
« on: April 03, 2010, 12:26:08 am »

Okay. I know the dwarves are bringing shells and bones to a refuse stockpile; what I can't see is the setting that controls it.

Is that "remains"? Before I turn it on, I want to be sure it won't bring small-animal "remains" as their corpses were in prior versions; this is for an indoor stockpile by my craftsdwarf workshops, so I don't want it stinking up the place.

Personally I do 2 refuse piles: one for real trash, with bones and shells turned off, and one for the stuff I want to keep, with everything but bones and shells turned off. Dwarves take bodies to the trash pile, stuff rots until only bones are left, then dwarves grab the bones and take them to the bone/shell stockpile since they're not allowed in the trash pile.

Yes, I know. That's exactly what I'm trying to set up here, but with the new version, there are no longer options in the stockpile menu for bone, shell, and skull. I'm wondering if they've been filed under some other name that still allows them to be put somewhere separate from things that will rot, or not.

I can't find the toggle for bones and shells anywhere. I tried remains and they moved all sorts of assorted "parts" into the pile.

Bones and Shells = body parts now. Switch everything off except body parts, optionally of only the species you're interested in.

Congrats, Psieye. This is the first time I've seen a derailed thread get put back on the rails.
