That sounds like "If you would like to torture me, please let me know."

Well, it may sound like that, but I do actually find enjoyment out of working on this stuff. Not too sure why.

Now with the macro thing I've got set up and am learning progressively... it's made things a lot easier.

The wiki was a little brutal at first, but I'm learning quick... patience is a virtue.

-edit-

So I'm a wee bit bored at the moment and read up on the sky fortress, which I found inspiring. I was wondering if there was anything that people wanted tested? I'll start a fort from scratch with your choice of mods and ideas.

What I'm looking at doing is making slade mineable ;)
I'm going to keep my custom reactions (mostly cause I don't want to delete them, I have them set up special)
I won't use my normal [SPEED:1][NOEXERT][NO_SLEEP][NO_EAT][NO_DRINK] Unless you specify otherwise.

So, share some thoughts on what you want me to do, who knows, I might make it a documentary.

I have a suggestion: add a few "spare" reactions in a "spare" custom workshop. THis might be the easiest way to test modded-in-reactions on the fly. (since you still can't add or remove any, right?)

Toady typically doesn't do things by half measures.  As evidenced by turning "make hauling work better" into "implement mine carts with physics".
There are many issues with this statement.

That's what I got Flaede. I have 26 (a-z) free reaction spots to do stuff with.

My generic cheat shop...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

My generic reaction slots...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

These are the ones I use most often. The ones the say Dragon I was using for testing.

I had a set of reactions I used a lot for doing certain stuff, I got tired of looking through the smelter, so this is what I made.

Great job on the wiki!

Are there any known limits to the number of body parts/tissues a creature can have?

Short answer... I don't know... I would assume there is no limit.

Dunno. I couldn't add more than 32 teeth to a body entry. Might be able to get away with it, by adding "GENERIC_TEETH" a few times to the creature definition, though

Well I'm not going to be around for a good portion of today I believe, but I'll get to any questions anyone has when I get back.

Also, I guess I'll just be playing df seeing as no ones made any suggestions on mods. So nevermind about that.

-edit-

Well then, so much for going out today, guess I'll be here if anyone needs me.

Is it possible to make an substance that completely melts off skin, fat and muscles but leaves the skeleton intact? As in, the only things you can get from the dead body are the bones?

Sweet! thanks  Shaostoul. This is probably the bit I needed to go and try to start modding again in the new version.

I'm a little curious about how hard-coded the standard workshops are. Can one narrow the focus of, say, the FarmerWorkshop? (leaving the milking to a Dairy or something, and the thread processing to a specific threshing workshop?) There are a few places where the standard workshops bottleneck intolerably for me, and this manager isn't smart enough to handle it well.

Well changing the vanilla shops is (as far as I know) impossible. The only exceptions being the soap_makers and the smelter.

You COULD make custom workshops of your choice, to do what you want and present you the proper product and skill use and all that. However I don't believe you could change milking or something else that requires a live being. I believe thread work is a little specific, but again, you could make the proper reactions to do it the way you want.

Sagus, I really don't know what to tell you. I would assume fire. When cremating a body if you let it burn for only a certain amount of time, the bones won't burn.

However in Dwarf Fortress... presently... I think we're stuck waiting for the new version to come out.

Ah, I think you misundertood me; I meant, if it's possible to make a substance in the creature's raws that'd be able to melt off everthing but the bones, not how to do this in a Fortress.

Oh... in that case, I don't know. Necrosis is the closest thing I think you could get to what you want at the moment.

Aa self-destructing creature? or a substance that does this to the creature, but is obtained somewise else?

@Flaede, the only way I could believe it could happen is either a small amount of magma that'd dry up before the bones went. A fire where the corpse lay in it. Necrosis (but that doesn't remove the tissue, it just makes it pseudo-decay). Or an extremely hot creature to go near the corpse or creature. Or the creature could be made extremely hot, but not be able to withstand the heat and cause it to boil away to nothing but bones. However, that creature would die once it got on the map...
