Sometimes, bugs are awesome!
« on: September 17, 2011, 04:15:19 pm »

So, after putting some gobling to shared cage and releasing them (naked, in room full of armed soldiers), they became butcherable and were butchered without me knowing. No modding was invovled.

This happened season later:

1) Uhuh, lets check leather stockpile - what, a gobling leather?
2) Hmm, were they butchered? Lets check fat stockpile... yep, they were butchered.
3) Damn, and they were apparently cooked.
4) No more gobling fat roasts!
5) I have an idea ... yes, lets forbid usage of all other fats
6) And make crapload of lye
7) And set soapmakers shop on repeat
8) And watch
9) Behold, goblin soap!
10) Ethics? What ethics?

When you dismember a creature, the pieces that have been cut off are butcherable despite the main corpse being unbutcherable due to civ ethics.

I have an extra 8k points to embark with, How I have no fucking Idea.

But it is awesome being able to embark with 50 steel bars, 144 oak logs.

I have lots of (goblin) limbs sitting at stockpile that are not being butchered...

I have limbs that clog up my butchers pile all the time...so something is not adding up here...

would you have to chop it down to the same point that goblin bones appear?  where it is only the lower/upper arm/leg with no attached hand/foot or other arm/leg section?

If you want to take on Gobbos with masterwork goblin bone crossbows and masterwork goblin bone bolts go into the raws/entity default and change:
EAT_SAPIENT_KILL
EAT_SAPIENT_OTHER
MAKE_TROPHY_SAPIENT
To ACCEPTABLE.
Enjoy

Making goblin soap: because goblins sure as hell won't make soap for themselves.

I have not seem this to be the case, I've got stockpiles full of removed goblin limbs.  What does happen is that pieces of bodies will sometimes rot to usable stacks of bones.  Limbs and other body parts shouldn't be butcherable without changing civ ethics.
