Trade it.


Best solution is to make a giant statue with it.

I suggest a sword.

Or maybe an !!ELF!!

You do not understand the ways of Toady One. He is not a business, he's just a guy trying to make a fun game. He's invited people to come along and experience the journey with him (and help him test it out as he goes along). At the end of the day, I don't think his main goal is to sell Dwarf Fortress, its just to create the best game possible.

Build a statue of farm animals, with each animal consisting of its own tallow  :P

You see, here's how I think this works:
Overseer: Welcome to the military! You need to wear socks! Dorf: Oh, I should get military socks. My socks are civilian socks. Dorf discards socks Dorf: You know, I need a whole lot of gear now. I should get socks... last. Oh, but these steel boots with the white goo on them are nice!

This is why I dump and forbid all fat.  It's just far to inefficient in terms of labor and storage space for what little use the tallow is.

I usually make all of my tallow into soap. If I have an abundance (like after killing a megabeast), I'll cook most of it. I hate wasting resources, regardless of how cheap and crappy they are :(

I have multiple kitchens, and suspend the "render fat" job at all but one, so I can still cook meals.

Fat rendering is bugged in that it only renders one piece at a time, rather than rendering the entire stack. Large stack sizes also slow the process down, so it is near impossible to render the fat[70] from a forgotten beast.

You can turn auto-rendering off, I think. It's in workshop options somewhere.

Never used Dwarf Therapist, mods or tilesets in all the years I've been playing.
I think Toady's confusing interface better simulates the experience of a bunch of disorganised drunken dwarves running a fort.

o-W gives me a menu for that, but I can only remove auto-kitchen by removing auto-butcher and auto-fishery with it.

You might want to report that on the bug tracker, because that doesn't sound intentional.

Train a new cook.  Prepare Easy Meal - Cow Tallow Roast[4] on repeat.  Easy training, easy food, otherwise that's about it really.  Or mod a custom reaction to do something Fun with it?

Dig a pit 10 z levels deep in your entryway, insulate its walls and floor with soap. Fill it 5 z levels high with water. Build a retracting overtop of it, and pull the lever whenever ANYTHING tries to enter the fort.

Socks.  Lots and lots of socks.  It's the greatest Dwarven vice of all, outstripping alcohol by several orders of magnitude: the desire to own and haul as many feet-warming tubes of cloth as possible.
