More Ways to Enjoy Corpses
« on: August 22, 2015, 10:18:30 pm »

I've been trying to figure out a number of reactions now for 40.24, and I've finally got the bugs worked out, so I wanted to share the results.
Thanks to Dirst for his troubleshooting on another matter that inadvertently helped with this, and to Meph's awesome code in Masterwork, which helped me put this together.

1) Turning your Enemies into Roads, Walls, and More
(inspired by Sedlec Ossuary)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)


2) Butcher Corpses into BONEMEAL FUEL
(inspired by MBM)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)


3) Get Blood and make some Blood Sausage
(or just paint everything in blood)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)


I'd also highly suggest combining this with the Pedestal module from Modest Mod, so that you can put your skull totems on pedestals alongside your bone block road. Which you then bathe in blood while you dine on blood stew.

That doesn't seem like an improvement.  Seems very DF, though.

Sweet. Tried hard to find an inuendo?  8)

Anyway, why is there no bone to bonemeal (flux) reaction? That was done historically, by grinding it up and baking it. And once we are at it, why not make clothing from the skin of the invaders, since you already turn their bodies, bones and bloods into stuff.

Still missing a use for totems. I could envision making flasks from them, to drink the blood-wine out. Oh wait, you dont have blood-wine yet. Shame. Maybe an oil-candle in a skull, using their bodies fat to make oil first?

Come one, there are a lot more ways to enjoy corpses! :P

Was it? I didn't see it mentioned anywhere as being a prime cement or mortar building material, nor in metallurgy reactions.

We already do that. At the Tannery.

Still missing a use for totems. I could envision making flasks from them, to drink the blood-wine out.

I've been tinkering around with skulls a lot, but to no avail thus far. As mentioned, though, totems go great into Pedestals.

Oh wait, you dont have blood-wine yet. Shame. Maybe an oil-candle in a skull, using their bodies fat to make oil first?

Blood sausage isn't good enough for you? :P I'll take a look at the history for that.

Rendered fat is tallow, which is clearly CANDLE_MAT. That's a given!

Come one, there are a lot more ways to enjoy corpses! :P

I'll have to make a specific MEPH_CORPSE reaction~

By the way, people have been bugging for taxodermy in the suggestions thread.  You could add a simple corpse statue reaction to make those.  Maybe a little something to turn totems into statues too.

i was looking into that, its very hard to write, because the statues dont resemble the animal used.

Oh right, it would only be made of corpse, but they would still make them into whatever shapes they want.  Bummer.

The same problem afflicts bronze colossi, whose corpse item often ends up being a statue of bats or something.

My idea was to make a reaction for each animal. ^^ But since CORPSE:NONE:CREATURE:CREATURE_ID:NONE doesnt work, they do accept any corpse as reagent, which means I'd have to give each creature their own material with a unique reaction_class, to keep that apart; then using them to make custom TOOL:ITEM_TOOL_STATUE_CREATURE_ID.

I just figured dfhack would be the more reasonable solution, maybe someone writes a script that forces statue design.
