Bone as a material selection in military screen.
« on: September 17, 2014, 04:28:43 pm »

I got a legendary bone carver from a mood, so I set him out making bone greaves and gauntlets, to go on my militia instead of leather ones. Go into material selection to set them up with bone greaves and gauntlets.... Aaaand I can't find bone in the materials. It would make sense to have bones as a material in the equipment list.

For what it's worth, this is on the bug tracker.

As a workaround in the meantime, you can set the uniform to use white items. In an unmodded game, the only white-coloured armour material is bone.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

Yeah, but then I'd have to manually assign each breastplate, mail shirt, helmet, mitten, high boot, weapon, and shield.

You should be able to specify colour in the same way that you'd specify material.
