The type and number of objects produced from butchering a creature varies greatly, since not all creatures have the same parts. Only live untamed vermin can be butchered this way, dwarves will not butcher tame ones or the remains of one.ĭwarves will not butcher the corpses of sapient creatures (due to the ethic), and the corpses of tame creatures cannot be butchered (they must be slaughtered while still alive). Any caught live ones are automatically queued for butchering: a dwarf will carry an animal trap containing one to a butcher's shop and butcher the vermin inside as if it were a corpse. If a hunter successfully kills his target, he will haul the corpse and place it directly inside an appropriate butcher's shop, but unless your butcher happens to be idle at the moment, the corpse will likely be removed from the workshop and placed in a stockpile.Ĭertain exceptionally large species of vermin, creepy crawlers in particular, can also be butchered for a small amount of meat. During this job, the butcher will pick up the corpse, haul it to the workshop, and then slowly process it into individual parts at a speed based on skill level and clutter (which can take a long time for particularly large creatures such as forgotten beasts). If the "Auto butcher" order is enabled, then any valid corpse located either in a stockpile or within 43 squares of a butcher's shop will be automatically queued for butchering. If "auto slaughter" is disabled in workshop orders, then nothing at all will happen, since the "slaughter animal" job cannot be added manually. As mentioned above, slaughtering living animals is instantaneous - the moment the dwarf sets foot in the workshop, the animal dies and its body is split into individual parts. Any adopted pets are exempt (and will be automatically undesignated if they happen to be adopted while being led to the chopping block).Īssuming you have enabled "Auto slaughter" in your workshop orders, a butcher will then walk up to the animal, lead it to a butcher's shop, then strike down the creature. The trainer will feed the animal, taming it, and the butcher will immediately come and lead the animal to the block. If you have a wild animal in a cage that you want to butcher, just assign a trainer to it and mark it for butchering at the same time. Only tame/trained creatures can be slaughtered.

The work of a butcher is divided into two distinct categories: butchering and slaughtering. 6.5 Extra Butcher Objects/NOMEAT, NOBONES etc.6 Detailed butchering yields calculations.Vinclair, Alice Downing, connor howard, Knot Sure, Sarah Banford, Alex Lavigne, Parker VanDerMeide, KFB_Patreon, teszt, Alex Reyes, David Davidson, eric sun, Benoit David Baillargeon, Jordan Jorgensen, Jason Wenneman, Mike Kemmerer, Katherine Ekes Lewing, Matthew payne, Jacob Plummer, RiGarou, Rebecca Montelli, Gage Lahr, H, Sagwopper, John Karels, wintersanctuary, Dylan Williams, Donovan Nordick, Snowy Snow, Jakasaras 4che, Nahellion, Vanessa, Ben Pytlik, Robert D O'Dell, Scarlett, Chris Francis, Alexander Garcia, Serena Verden, Alexander Griffiths, SnipsGTI, Brian Sousa, bilbens baggo, Stuart, IbKelek, Galygious, Andrew Patton, Nicole Patten, Clementine Turner, ted valen, T.
