I'm trying to streamline bloodsteel production right now, but I can't find "blood" in any of the stock options. I've been looking around "meat", "animal extracts", and the like- and the option is seemingly nowhere to be found.

i think its an animal extract.  just make a 1-tile stockpile that only allows that, pause, dump the blood barrels, put your cursor over the stockpile and type autodump in dfhack

There has got to be a less micro-managey way of handling that.

[Niveras]

Use specific kitchens to make blood, have those (and only those) kitchens feed food stockpiles near your craftshops in your library/dye district.

This is assuming they are normally stored in food stockpiles. Guess I could go check.

Looking at raws:

Should be a misc. liquid (like lye?) but when I had looked at the food stockpiles myself earlier I didn't see it. It might get stored there anyway, though.
