Hi I just started playing DF and I have already experienced "Fun" quite a few times
. But that's not the matter I wanted to ask you about.
You see I created a new huge world, embarked my new fortress and instantly a pack of 8-10 buzzards came flying for my delicious food. My dogs easily took care of them (although one of them lost his tail
) and I had a lot of useless Buzzard corpses so I checked them in the wiki and went "HA HA! BONES! No more moody dwarves going berzerk!" thus I built a butcher shop that... didn't work.
No matter if I order to butcher a dead animal or extract from it (although I don't really know what "extraction" does) my butcher said he needs an unrotten nearby corpse.
So I went here in seek of aid and did a few things accordingly:
1. I set the order for my dwarves to gather refuse from outside. (although butcher shop is outside too)
2. I placed a refuse depot for corpses next to my butchery.
Aaand... nothing. I still get the same message.
I remember I always got the message when I ordered butcher to do stuff with dead bodies, setting my own tamed creatures works OK but gathering dead bodies
"Hell no!".
I don't know what might be causing this, butcher has both "butchery" and "small animal dissection" labour turned on (although he has no skill at both), all corpses are "fresh" and everything seems to be in order as far as orders go.
Any help?
please...
