[Nullnostalgia]

1 1/2 year old fortress, fledgling- s'got a good meat industry going up, and a lot of war animals(and a war troll.) We've got steel, we've got a 4 man army for our 16 man fort... But we're doomed.

23 Plump helmet men have spawned in the cavern just below our meeting hall.

Plump. Helmet. Men.

Ohgod, what do I do?

I've faced eldritch horrors, abominations with external ribs and deadly spittle, demons made from snow that breathe acidic fire and rain made of vile bile that oozes with liver-destroying necrosis...

But I have no counter to this terrible spawn from beneath the Earth. I've ordered the military to kill all the civillians, to spare them from the horror of the Plump Helmet Men.

"Grab your boning knives men! tonight we feast!"

[Rex_Nex]

Are Plump Helmet Men even hostile?

[NTJedi]

Looks like meat's back on the menu...  or maybe not.

[Caz]

I think they just wander about until a kitten scratches them, then they die and turn into a yummy feast.

Odd feeling, a problem where "KILL THEM! KILL THEM WITH FIRE!" doesn't work, as plump helmet men are not hurt by fire...

Inflammable source of alcohol...

"Grab ye pots and taps, dwarves, and fuel up the magma screw press!"
"But what about the plump helmet men harassing our farmers?"
"Stuff 'em in ye pots and put the taps on. We're squeezing every drop of wine out o' 'em."

This is a masterwork ‼mobile plump helmet roast‼ created by Armok. The ingredients are finely moulded plump helmets, diced magic, bent laws of physics, and finely minced malevolence.

I never know quite what to think about the little bastards when they're on fire. It's like trying to be impatient with soup. Sure you could try to eat it now, but you're going to have the skin on the roof of your mouth peeling off for days or that painful bit on your tongue where the bumps suddenly become incredibly noticable and annoying.

How you can have meat if you kill plumb helmet men? They are humanoid mushrooms 

Also, they are sentient so they can't be butchered.

It all comes down to modifying a certain token in the dwarves entity list.
Tough that requires a new world gen I think..

[Loud Whispers]

You could always make plump helmet men drop a brewable item upon death though

I wonder if hearts can be modded as brewable items?
If not then just make them drop a regular Plump Helmet.

[Sphalerite]

Actually, they aren't edible even if you butcher them.  They drop an inedible piece of 'plump helmet man tissue' when butchered.

[jaxy15]

I made them drop plump helmets upon death.

[Flying Dice]

Okay, so what you need to do is set up a farm...
