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)

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)
