How can I make it so a creature can be shorn?  What happens if you try to make a non-hair tissue shearable? Can custom tissue materials result in usable shorn objects?

(And this is only tangentially related, but do ITEM_CORPSE items appear when an animal is butchered?)

Im on my phone now so I cant look up the specific tags,  but you need to designate the tissue as shearable and at what length it is shearable. you also need to specify a growth rate for the tissue. Note  that tissue is shearable, but bones are not. There was actally a post by girlinhat about this very subject. In the thread someone had made a dwarven barber shop. The trimmed hair retained the name of the dwarf it was cut from.

you basicly need 2 things, first oyu need to add the yarn tag to the hair matieral, and maybe want to rename it into woll and fur (the hoof/horn stuff is optional, in this case i copied it from cowlike cattle)

then you need to add that hair grows, this is done bei the select_caste:all thngie next to the "hair" colors

You can also make everything shearable.
Even bones.

Mmm...

Just out of interest, is it possible to have multiple shearable layers on one creature? I'm working on new ents for My Little Fortress, and things like bananas should be shearable for both fruit and leaves(usable for making thread and cloth). I'll probably just get on with it and do the ‼science‼, but has anyone tried it already?

Shearable magma might produce problems with it turning into a splatter, better make a rock cow that can be milked for it, using a nether cap bucket. Just be careful you don't milk the bulls.

If by "bones" you mean part of the skeleton, as opposed to a horn or tusk, then I am fairly cerain you are wrong. Could you post an example of a shearable skeleton?

Bone is considered a tissue layer, therefore you could make it a shearable one, in theory. You might even be able to just add:

[APP_MOD_RATE:1:DAILY:0:300:0:0:NO_END]
[SHEARABLE_TISSUE_LAYER:LENGTH:90]
to the bone template in tissue_template.txt and shear it off of anything, though how useful this will be, I don't know. Standard reactions that call for tissues tend to want the butchered parts, though sheared bone might well work, since it's probably considered a body part.
