I think it would be interesting if, having gotten enough bones, you could convert them into building materials and use them for construction projects and (some) pieces of furniture.

Naturally it should require more than a single bone, perhaps needing stacks totaling somewhere from 10-20, depending on what is felt appropriate.

This would theoretically allow for bone towers, skull thrones, etc. etc.
The amount of bone required for any significant project would, of course, be quite substantial, but there's a certain coolness factor that is undeniable.

Heh. I like it. Gives you something to do with all those skeletal elks...

skull furniture and buildings should give your fort an EVIL rating ^^

if all requirements are met, the fort is considered evil!

1:bone infrastructure
2:merchants are pillaged
3:ritual sacrifices of civilized beings
4:stone littering your hallways!

How would you make bones stick together?
(I am a full supporter of bone construction since I heard we will be getting walls in distant future.)

[Grek]

You interlace them, like weaving baskets. But with bones.

[Draco18s]

Or you tie them together.  Or glue.

I really want something useful to do with the huge pile of skulls I accumulate after a few goblin sieges.  I've been yearning to be able to make a throne of skulls ever since the 2D version.

Being able to place goblin skull totems (or, let's face it, human or elf skulls too) at your entrance as a deterrent would be awesome.

I could go for bone constructions too.  A macabre tower of bones, atop which sits the maniacal dwarven emperor on his throne made from the skulls of his enemies...that seems like something that should be able to happen in Dwarf Fortress.

In history of my country we once had a tower made of human heads...
Today though it's made of skulls...
I should totally go there once.

what country?

[Sithlordz]

The Great Skull-tower of Analincest.  If you make something sufficiently evil, or great, it should be recorded in the legends screen.  A tower made out of a thousand skulls from various creatures. Sounds evil to me.

[Fishersalwaysdie]

Pretty cool, eh?

could you please vote for this in the
Top 3 sugesstions thread?
I am the only one so far who seems to care that a fort should get evil and the surrounding biome should ecome tainted.

I'd like to see similar uses for chunks.

[Sithlordz]

Heh. This is a Dwarf Chunk throne.  It is decorated with exceptionally worked dwarf bone, and encrusted with blood opal.  It menaces with spikes of dwarf leather.  Perhaps the elves want their own back?
