stop eating my seeds
« on: September 20, 2010, 04:18:01 am »

how hard is it to make it so that plump helmet spawn/dimple cup spawn cannot be cooked into food. I keep losing forts to this stupidity.

It's probably made from baby bone, with a handle of baby leather. Probably uses the leg bones wound together for the handle, the pelvis for the handle/pick joint, and the pick is the spine.

But that's all in theory, of course. Not like I've made a pick out of my own 5 month old baby before.

Pressing 'z', access the 'Kitchen' screen. This lists all the items that can be cooked and brewed, including extracts, fish, powders, meats, plants, and seeds.

Apparently having a redundant creature entry causes the game to say, "Oh, look, it's crazy world now. Nothing makes sense! Alligators live in houses!"

Or you can remove the tag [EDIBLE_COOKED] from the seed material of the plant desired.
I do this to prevent me from using a 2 seed stew when meat runs low.  Meat fort FTW.

I have something like 800 pieces of meat and the dwarfs cook the last of the plump helmets first.

I never cook anything brewable. Or threadable. Or whatever that word is.

Or seeds. Make sure you disable seed cooking.

To disable cooking plump helmets in the kitchen menu:

z, right, enter. Then scroll down to plump helmets and press c.
