Problems with the deli
« on: October 28, 2011, 04:00:05 pm »
So I have a hunter and he's killing stuff.  I have a corpse pile with a (non-rotten) drake corpse and a (non-rotten) buzzard corpse.  I have a butchery, but every time I queue up the slaughter task, it cancels with "no corpse nearby."  Am I missing something?  I've not had this problem before.

Is your corpse pile a garbage dump, a corpse stockpile, or a refuse stockpile?

How close is it to your butcher's shop?

The drake and buzzard corpses might be too small to butcher.  It happens sometimes, all you can really do is destroy them.

Drakes (male ducks) are too small to butcher, and buzzards are usually too small to butcher.  Those corpses are useless.

Ah...so the capybaras will still be butchered then.  Thanks.

And I have a Corpse stockpile with only corpses and refuse-->corpses permitted.  Built a butchery right adjacent to make sure distance wasn't a factor.

Woot for the help.

Make sure on standing orders (o) you have gather refuse from outside enabled. That affects butchery IIRC.

Oh, silly me. I saw "drake" and assumed a small, flightless dragon, not a waterfowl.

Too much D&D, methinks.
