I thought they couldn't use the bones of sentient creatures unless it was a fell mood. He had a secretive mood.

There are no restrictions on using the bones of sentient creatures - the only trick is actually getting said bones in the first place. Skeletons of sentient creatures cannot be butchered, but severed body parts seem to occasionally rot into usable stacks of bones.

thus the huge murder towers that POWs are thrown from, shattering their bodies into the constituent body parts.

I am bothered. I've been keeping the corpses of that minotaur (which was a sucker to kill) and that giant (which fled my army for fifteen minutes like a p*ssy) to rot and it never happened...

I'd love to have used those bones...

[FrisianDude]

They might still. Try reclaiming their skeletons. I have noticed goblin bone bolts in a quiver here in my fortress and someone used bones of Bax Setuukge, forgotten beast in his mood.

So far it seems to be a bit random which parts rot to bone, I got a stack of 100+ dead goblins outside, some of them have parts that rot into bone while other parts seem to stay forever.

Actaully come to think about it I got an earlier save, I could cross-check to find out which parts of mine turned into bone.

[HoaBinh]

Okay, it seems to have little to do with the body parts. I looked through my piles of body parts and found the following.



And then



The left lower arm, right foot and right hand are all still there even when the bones show up. I would assume that the corpses themselves are the thing that rots. Time to check.
