Noble demand/mandate: Make naked mole dog tooth items 3/3
« on: March 15, 2011, 02:09:53 pm »

My bone carver wont make the Ivory/tooth crafts  :'( He states:  Cancels Make ivory/tooth crafts: Needs unrotten ivory/tooth body part.

I have butchered Naked mole dogs and have naked mole dog skulls in my stockpile.

Is it bugged or why wont he make the items?

Skulls don't could as bone for purposes of crafting, they can only be made into totems. You need bones.

Actually, isn't it that only creatures of sufficient size leave teeth when butchered? I guess it's a quirk in the system right now because it makes getting requested materials sort of difficult.

My last noble demanded two-legged rhino lizard horn items.
I hated that guy.

Isn't this what 'Un'fortunate accidents are used for?

You just need to translate from "Noble" into "Dwarf"   what they really mean is, "Please lock my door then fill my room up with either water or magma"  or "please place the untamed cave crocodile cage into my room"  or "I want to negotiate peace with the goblins please let me go unarmed and unarmored to meet with the next siege"

Why couldn't my vampire Hammerer eat someone useless, like a migrant? Instead, she went after my only gemcutter.. but sadly there were no witnesses, so I convicted someone's pet duck as the murderer.  It got off easy, with no beatings or jail time.  >.<

Besides the options to burn, drown, feed the animals with my Baron or give him as an offering to the goblins. How can I get the teeth?  :-\

I have to be lucky and some will fall out doing a fight is that the only way? There are several skulls laying around with teeth in them........ Butcher should be able to pull/knock/kick/break thoose out or should at least the bone carver be able to....

Perhaps we need a new skill - dentist??

Simply don't set up a justice system.

But that still leaves me with no naked mole dog teeth  :(

It's treated as completely normal because this is Dwarf Fortress.  There's absolutely nothing wrong with surrounding yourself with a wall of flames, only to later realize that you're surrounded by a wall of flames.
There's nothing that can't be solved by hurling fifteen roc birds at it.

If you have no captain of the guard you can completely ignore mandates.

Appreciating the 'unfortunate incident' idea, still it's quite dwarfy to invent a way to get teeths.
First, we need nake mole dogs, alive.
Then, I suppose, we need a soldier with training weapon. Or with just bare hands - I have feeling that tooth can be striken out while releasing from dog's grip, not sure though.

Let them fight till enough number of teeth is achieved.

I guess the only way to obtain them, is for the teeth falling out in a fight... So now I see why Nobles are a pain in the ass..

I dont have any live mole rats.... killed them all......

In the meantime I got a Voracious Cave crawler, killed 3 of my dwarfs including my mayor before one of my militia dwarfs got down there and killled it (He started by biting the crawler - Tearing the skin and bruising the muscle. Then he scratches the crawler in the head tearing the skin and bruising the muscle and bruising the brain.... Crawler dead.......)  :o

Now a siege has come, goblins with mounted giant rat, cave crocodile, giant cave swallow , elk bird, giant olm and a Jabberer... They are still all gonna die  8) I'll just send my biter/scratcher dwarf out to meet them :D (He has a adamantine axe and armor, but I guess he dont need it)

I don't know if teeth that have been knocked out during fights get used. I had a giant mole left incisor(or was it the right one?) laying about one time, and despite telling crafters to use it, they complained that there wasn't any teeth around.

Maybe it only counts when they're produced by butchery?

Even if the teeth get knocked out during a fight, they're too small to count as usable materials.  Naked mole dogs would have to be 3-4 times as large as they actually can get for their teeth to be large enough to get as butchering remains.
