Ok, I'm in a fairly unique position. I want to make a new fish that uses alcohol for blood, but I also want it to be butcherable/cleanable for the booze. Will I be able to do that just by making its blood alcohol or will I have to set up a custom reaction for it?

Boozecarp....
You monster. :/

[LordSlowpoke]

Making blood into alcohol will just leave alcohol spattering all over the everything. The best you could do in my opinion is divide the fish into castes, and make each caste create a barrel on death, said barrel is filled with a different alcohol. I don't think you could actually butcher them for alcohol, no matter how you tried. Good luck in your project~

The best I think you can do, is have it drop a substance that can be brewed into alchohol when killed. So you would need a "press Boozecrap meat for booze" reaction somewhere, that would let you brew a tissue found in the fish into booze.

Do you normally get a barrel of fish blood when you clean a fish?

[peregarrett]

make it produce alcohol after extraction - see http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Moghopper and mog juice
finally fish dissectors will have some use

Fish dissectors will finally get get drunk instead of drinking clean, boozeless water.

To be honest I never did enough fish cleaning to know the answer to that....I usually just throw my fish cleaners on hauling or stone smoothing duty...

Hmmm, that does sound interesting. I will probably follow up on that one, barring someone saying "YOU CAN TOTALLY JUST USE THE BLOOD BRAAAAAR" XD
....which just happened as I was typing this apparently

The children of UristMcFisherdwarf:

No, no, no. The children wouldn't give a crap.
They'd be too busy looking at the shiny masterwork gabbo chair to give a crap.

Damn you. I shall feed a dwarf named after you to the boozecarp.

[Wrex]

Give them LIKES_FIGHTING and PRONE_TO_RAGE:3. THEY SHALL BE THE VERY FISH OF ARMOK!

Perhaps I should also give them [NOBREATH]?
Have us a Boozecarp that can attack you on land?
lol I don't think I'll do that to be honest, I envisioned the boozecarp as an exotic creature traded by a custom race I made, and having them attack pretty much anything ever would make it hard to keep breeding stock in a pond...

[BFEL]

Also how would I go about making their blood into the extract?
I unfortunately haven't done much work with that kinda thing...

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Actually, look up moghopper raws and copy the extract tags to your fish, then rename and edit as desired.
