Dwarven sausage grinder.

Dwarven sausage grinder.

Goblin slang for the inevitable hallway full of sword traps. Goblin sausage, anyone?

Well whenever cooking gets upgraded kidneys and livers need to be part of some recipes.

Snake and kidney pie, a traditional dwarven favorite.

Skills and professions are still hardcoded and you can't add new ones.  However, the new reaction syntax (midway down this post) has a SKILL tag that lets you choose which hardcoded skill should be used by the reaction.

Aren't there some redundant skills? I think I remember hearing of an alchemy, and some druid-y type deal.

Fixed your typo

Does hair actually grow currently?

I believe it does, at least for dwarves and other sapients.

Yep.  Check the dwarf raws and look for TISSUE_LAYER_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER:LENGTH.

How will extracts like wool, antlers etc. handled? Will this stuff and milking work under the hood of one framework? If so how would we set up the raws for the extraction of a wool? preferable without needing a bucket? Also can we get extracts into vials instead of Buckets where it makes sense? Is it possible to to milk 2 different liquids from one animal like a actual animal-milk and a poison?

If you're talking about the upcoming release, there's no unified framework per se, just milking of arbitrary liquids into a bucket.  Wool extraction would have to work via the system I just described or one like it.  Buckets only, and only one milkable material per creature.

If you mean later on, this dev item

# Bloat58, MORE LIVESTOCK, (Future): Livestock. Use of feathers. Use of wool. Various eggs and nests. Dwarves should hate eating plants all the time.

implies that all those animal products will be under one system as much as possible.

That reminds me of another question I had. What's the point of all the various intestines, spleens, lungs, and other new bits that come from butchering animals? Are there any uses for them in game, or are they just fodder for homebrewed alchemist's workshop reactions?

atm, i don't think there's any use for them, they're just like 'chunks', in the future of course intestines at least will be used for sausage, and the other bits will probably be able to be ground up for offal to feed animals and fertilize farms.

The squishy tissues are all edible as meat (with the exception of cartilage, hair, and nervous tissue, which are useless as far as I know) and the hard ones can be made into crafts.

Those have been in the game forever and are still present, yes.  I'm not sure what you mean by "redundant" though.

I want artifact moods for more professions: a brewer makes a barrel of rotgut that'd make the Hammerer cry and the Baron forget a mandate; a marksdwarf insists on targets to pincushion from half-way across the world; a soap maker goes and washes half the fort - or half the dwarves!

You'd probably need to be able to "consume" artifacts to make it work.

Maybe ever artifact materials. Not sure what you'd do with them.

[dragnar]

No, the marksdwarf should request a goblin! It's death will be a work of art... somehow. Also, there will be magma... again, somehow.

[bombcar]

Pin it to the ceiling.

[John Keel]

No, pin it to the wall in such a way that it can be used as a table!

Benefit of consumable artifact is that it is never actually consumed by being used? So an artifact bar of dragon soap never actually runs out. Doesn't apply to materials, though, cause that causes problems with "I have an infinite supply of Artifact-value shirts". Just don't let artifact materials be incorporated into other things, which seems sensible to me. An artifact piece of cloth is a masterful textile to be displayed, not cut into a thong.

Has anything been said about leather armor in the new version? Will all leather armor continue to be identical for protective purposes, or will elephant leather be superior to cow leather, in turn superior to armoring your dwarfs in the leather of ground hogs?

Redundant in that they are not used. Perhaps "vestigal" would have been a better word, but it tends to make me uncomfortable. Now that I think about it, they still wouldn't be usable, since they wouldn't be able to have a corresponding labour enabled. Unless they defaulted to the "Children and Nobles" type job.
Shame. Could've had a great "Skeeball" workshop that trained dwarves' throwing skills, while offering them the chance of a fabulous prize.

In that vein - will bigger animals produce more leather? Will a dwarf be fully clothed in a cape made from a sinke kitten leather?

Will burrows allow us to separate the sleeping barraks from the training ones?
