Can you please add the raws for bone as a material here? A dwarf created a bone warhammer in a strange mood and I want to see how effective it is. I couldn't find the raws for bone in the data files, however.

Revision as of 15:11, 21 October 2010

As far as I can tell, bones and skulls are now listed as "Body parts" for stockpiles and the stocks screen. However, so are tendons, hair, and other useless detritus. --Zombiejustice 18:16, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm having no luck at all butchering the skeletons at a butcher's shop. Is there something special you have to do?

I second that question.--Kwieland 21:42, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
I think only skeletons of slaughterable animals are possible to butcher.. Eroing 23:54, 4 May 2010 (CET)
I see that bones (alongside with feathers, nervous tissues, etc) actually go to refuse/remains stockpile, not body parts stockplile. That is, with all other types of refuse forbidden, including body parts. Good thing about it is that it's possible to separate usable bones from eh... useless imported body parts. Bad thing is that bones are still mixed with other remains which will probably rot producing miasma underground. It's only for underground's creature parts, they go to any refuse stockpile, probably bug. Elfy 11:26, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

The bones of my enemies

I've found that even though things like goblins and trolls can't be butchered (as they're sentient), I'll still sometimes wind up with goblin and troll bone stacks in my refuse stockpile. Is it known what conditions cause that to happen, and how they can be replicated? I miss encrusting everything in goblin bone... 174.3.234.111 03:38, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Don't know for sure. I think it has to do with having chopped off a limb or somesuch, and then the flesh on that limb rots away, leaving behind the bone. I know it happens, because I have gotten actual usable goblin bones before, but I don't know how thoroughly dissected the limb has to be - whether just cutting off the lower arm will do, or if the hand has to go first, or what. --DeMatt 07:32, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Raws

Can you please add the raws for bone as a material here? A dwarf created a bone warhammer in a strange mood and I want to see how effective it is. I couldn't find the raws for bone in the data files, however.
