Title: Elves the other white meat!
Post by: mareck on December 03, 2009, 05:06:39 am
I have been a bad boy. ;D

I modded my game so that I have Elven, human and Dwarven slaves.
Ah so glorious, sending those vermin hunting elves to the butcher.

I made a stable balanced Gobbo race to play with and decided to mod it a bit so i can have slaves as well. There is nothing better in the morning than butchering some Elves as meat and bone products.

Well we have always known that Elves are the other white meat.

HU?
Tell me, where do i find this knowledge?

One more thing...  I have a new fun arena match to watch.
Chained elven females + tentacle monster = Epic!

The next release will include custom workshops where you can select in the raws the reagents to use for an object which you can set to be made.

I read that somewhere but for some reason I simply can not find any quotes.

Hmmm, That rocks.
Has anybody else done the slave(pet) system before?
I wonder if i should share it?

It's actually possible for your dwarves to dine on Elf meat in an unmodded game, though it requires certain special circumstances and is quite limited:

in one of my previous fortresses, two of my dwarves were given this golden opportunity.

I know that system, but that's only a couple of pieces.
I have over 2000 sentient meat in my store. (Its the only meat i keep)
The slaves gives u meat, bones and entertainment.
There is nothing funnier than watching a elven female to to escape my custom SCHEMA demons.

So you did what? you created a new tameable animal or you gave the elves a [pet] tag or what? I want to do this too.

I created pets(slaves), added them to the domestic creatures raw file and linked them to the graphics of Mayday (So you can see the little elf run.)
I matched most their physical stats to the normal elves / dwarves / humans.
I will upload them later 2night or 2morrow, there is one bugfix remaining what i need to test before release.

Making a normal race a pet is epic fail. Causes problems with junk on your map. That is why i did the pet route.

In build 39 it used to be possible to butcher everything. Elves, humans, goblins, even dwarves! Anything dead you could butcher.


I miss being able to do that.  :(

Yeah, eating people is always fun. A nice industry also, is mermaids.
One of my earlier projects was a mer-farm. Was a real mission. The only change that was done was to make them amphibious.

I wonder If there are other people dwarves with interesting meat industries ???

Goblin meat industries...

Planning on modding them so they can breed aswell :D.
Also die from exposure...

I already did them long ago as a beta. Worked well.

And if not, upload them anyway and ill mod them later to make them die from exposure.

This is actualy still possible by modding the entity ethics, although not for your own entities corpses, and only untill you save and load the game :'(

Funny how another thread was just talking about how giving DF animated 3d graphics would result in an AO rating by the ESRB.  Hentai Fortress indeed...

Do these slaves actually do any work? Or do their dwarven owners just watch, smirking, as the captive Elves are forced to eat rats to survive, occasionally kicking the pointy-eared treehumper and reminding them that this is what happens if you get snooty about wood crafts?
Title: Re: Elves the other white meat!
Post by: 3 on December 08, 2009, 04:19:03 pm
They won't be able to do much unless you set them up in a very specific fashion which effectively lets them act as pets and civvers at the same time (we had a big discussion about this a little while ago in the modding subforum).

Got a link?
Title: Re: Elves the other white meat!
Post by: mareck on December 09, 2009, 02:35:33 am
a link would be useful.
But it is true. I have tested many ways and their are none to make pets do work.
I enjoy the factor of butchering elves / humans / dwarves alot. There is also a slavery thread in the suggestions forums.

It used to be you just had to remove [BUTCHERABLE_NONSTANDARD] back in version 39. Worked fine! Any corpse that did not have that tag could be butchered.

I'd have a dozen butcher and tanning workshops. After a battle all of my dorfs would haul the goblin corpses to the workshops and begin chopping away.

My entire fortress lived on *goblin tallow roasts*, everything was decorated with goblin leather and bone, and everyone was ecstatic.

and now we have to breed them.

But i dont mind to much. I like the idea of breeding the people just to kill them.
Title: Re: Elves the other white meat!
Post by: Hyndis on December 09, 2009, 11:34:52 am
I prefer being able to eat the dead.  :D

Why bother breeding them when they show up every year in large groups, and also bring goblinite with them?

Did u read the thread...
I set them up as pets.... SO i can butcher or train them if I wanna.

Post by: Hyndis on December 09, 2009, 12:11:54 pm
But being able to butcher invaders provides both food and training!  ;D

Even your soldiers with bruised spines can get some training out of them. You also get a fresh batch of about 80 or so goblins each year, and they bring gifts of goblinite.

But we cannot do that anymore.

Do share what you did to make them edible. I'm considering making other races edible to dwarves in my game, just to avoid having piles of rotting corpses.

In version 39 you could butcher enemies, these days you can only butcher them only if u set ur ethics so and play it without saving / loading.

i made pets that mimic them in nearly every way so i can keep them.

here is the code for the domestic

and here it is for ur mayday graphics if u use em.

I use them that i can keep them as pets (slaves).
Train for war, arena matches, food or bait.
So many uses.
