Last post less than a month ago == not necro, right?

This is completely relevant:

It doesn't matter how old this thread is.  It will always live and will never necro.  DO bring it back into the light of the first page!

Is it even possible to farm mermaids anymore?

Not really. Corpses decompose into skeletons, which need to be butchered; only tameable and/or tame creatures breed; and mermaid bones are worth the same as cow bones.

[Angel Of Death]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

WHYYYY!?

WHYYYYYY!?

[antymattar]

WHYYY!!!!!??

Can we still catch them in cages?

[nanomage]

You can catch them in cages as any other fish i think.
I also believe with some cunning placement you can even get them thrown from high cliffs so they yield bones when they rot.

[antymattar]

well, at least I can have a bunch of merpeople arround.

[lanceleoghauni]

Pretty sure glass terraria are better.

You can put in the value modifier so that it's worth its old value again. Then we can restart our meat factories! BWAHHAHAHAH


And yes, you need to drop them off a cliff in order to harvest their bones. That shouldn't be a problem for us dwarves

I have to admit, I'm impressed by the downright dwarfyness of this entire plan. I've always imagined that animals migrate along a rough path (North to South, etc) but it's a hard thing to prove. Try watching the way they move.

In my last fort, I had regular swarms of giant badgers coming from the southeast, over to the center, then back over and up to the northeast. So think you may be correct about some rough pathing preference.

Yup. I've seen it too in a past fort. The camels would go from north to south east, or south east to north.

this thread must surive to honor all dwarves and so i can find for mermaid farming techniques and how drain the ocean to farm whales
Ow do beached walls produce bones when the rot?

[Number4]

I demand we stick this thread to the first page.

[CriticallyAshamed]

If we were to sticky all the legendary acts of Dwarfiness(and/or Genocide) then the whole first page would be stickies.

Any idea on whether we'll ever be able to butcher sentinents again?
