DF2014 Talk:Ivory

From Dwarf Fortress Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

How is ivory classified in the refuse-handling menu? Is it under "Dwarves save other" along with rotting meat? 2A02:A210:80:E80:65CE:AC26:7A78:2BF1 09:06, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

It's under "Dwarves save corpses". I tested this by playing around with various teeth/tusks, a refuse stockpile and a dump zone. I set everything to Dump and placed the ivory in the dump zone, then I checked each option one by one; only when Dwarves Save Corpses was checked my dwarves placed them in the refuse stockpile. Same thing applies to all teeth and a few other unrelated items. I'm going to add this info in Standing orders. As an extra note, if the creature is sapient and civilized (e.g. civ gorlak), excluding goblin & kobold civs, or if it's one of your dead dwarves, their fallen teeth/ivory won't be collected to a refuse stockpile but to a corpse stockpile. Just wanted to say this as it caused some confusion for me during testing. – Doorkeeper 18:33, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Adventure mode remarks[edit]

Well, I (avatar a human not dwarf) took the ivory from a slain troll. Trying to use the carve bone mode with my iron knife I could produce nothing. Maybe a feature not a bug? But I'm not happy about that. - Carl Ypso (talk) 11:15, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
