Recently, I had a major loss in my archery department due to my melee guys chasing off the first wave of gobbos during a siege, then trolls popping up at my open gate after they had left. A certain female marksdwarf was the only survivor of that encounter, and boy was she fucked up real good. She had her lower spine fractured, her leg dented, and most of her limbs were otherwise crippled in some fashion. Somehow, after about a year in the hospital, she's back up walking again, albeit very slowly. Surprised, I check her inventory to see how many different crutches and things she was using.

GODDAMMIT

She is using no less than 6 pieces of candy to hold herself together, in a very candy-depleted fort. She better become some kind of 6-million dollar man-esque dwarf, or she gets thrown to the badgers.

Is there any way to get stitches back after they've been applied?  Melt her skin off or something?

[Girlinhat]

Nupe, gone forever   Killing may or may not cause them to drop as items, but likely NOT.

Never had candy thread laying around, NEVER!

[Specter513]

I don't believe so, as the pussy dwarven ethics won't allow that.

This was because I had more dwarves extracting strands than forging things.

Candy should be kept in a vault, and never removed until it is a finished product. Extractors and smiths enter and leave the vault through lever-operated airlocks.

I have neither the time nor the patience for such a practice. Instead, I do everything haphazardly and hope it comes out something like I'd hoped.

Chief Medical Dwarf: We can rebuild her, we have the candy.

[Girlinhat]

You haphazard ways have cost you significant candy.

[Mitchewawa]

Pointless and expensive; how is having candy suturing NOT dwarfy?

[Jacob/Lee]

Too bad we can't cover dwarves in a thousand cuts then have them absolutely surrounded with candy stitches to create the first ever Iron Dwarf.

[Girlinhat]

Custom modded weapons, danger rooms, and a lot of idle doctors.

Who says we can't? just have it so that the cuts never heal (but still stop bleeding), ergo, the stitches never come out, and do it progressively so that the dwarf doesn't die.

Why make thread? So some dink can have a candy vest?
I SAY NAY

[NRDL]

I had no idea candy could be made into stitches...

Here's a thought: Injure your dwarves so that their skin ( maybe through fire? ) is melted, then have the dorfs stitch candy onto their entire body, if that's possible.  I doubt it would give them any protection, but imagine having Dwarves that look like Colossus from X-men.  Also, if you could mod the stitches to be durable like armor, these guys might become more resistant to damage. 

Correct me if I'm wrong on anything.
