Butcherable?[edit]

I have killed many a Troglodyte, but when my dwarves haul them to my refuse stockpile, my butcher refuses to butcher their corpses. This leads me to believe that either Troglodyte corpses are bugged, or that Troglodytes don't have any butcherable returns, and thus are un-butcherable. Is anyone else experiencing this?

It's probably their [CAN_LEARN] tag that prevents you from butchering them. Remove it (and perhaps [SLOW_LEARNER] too) and try it. Josj 16:37, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
Dwarves won't butcher "intelligent" beings. Among other things, this means no more goblin bone bolts to shoot other goblins with. -Greycat 17:13, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
Don't corpses decay into bones anyway? (like they did in 40d) No need to butcher a goblin in order to get goblin bones to make arrows out of. --Overspeculated 07:15, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
Yes, I've had a lot of Goblin and Elf corpses that have decayed into bones that are then usable for crafting. Takes a couple years sometimes, but it happens. Will have to see what I can get from Troglodytes. --MisterB777 17:55, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
