[WYD] Bone

This mod adds long bones, and skulls that can be extracted from desiccated corpses at the stonecutting bench. The are also obtained as a bi-product when butchering. Long bones can be used for a variety of purposes, including building material, neolithic armour and weaponry, and even as a food source.

I know there are a few bone mods already out there, but those add bone as a drop from butchering. This is all well and good, but those mods don't make use of desiccated corpses that will ultimately litter your map. There's a nice mod out there called Butcher Rotten that has adjustable sliders to allow the player to obtain a small amount of products from rotting corpses, but that mod doesn't use desiccated corpses either :(

That's why I decided to make this mod! Now one can finally get make use out of the desiccated corpses scattered around the map! With Bone, one can:

-extract long bones, and skulls from rotten, and desiccated corpses.
-process long bones into bone blocks at a campfire, or stove.
-build walls, doors and other structures from bone blocks
-craft a bone club from a bone block.
-build most furniture from bone blocks (Pool table looks nice)
-build an array of other items from bone blocks
-now build floors too!

Alternatively:

-use your long bones to craft bone plate stuffable resources, and research the new Bone Crafting tech to craft them into armour.
-craft an armoured bone chest plate using bone plates.
-craft some armoured bone legguards using bone plates.
-craft a bone helm from the skull of a corpse.

Feeling hungry?

-put those leftover bones to good use, and make bone broth. One must first render the bones down into bone stock, which takes a while, but the resulting powder is a food ingredient that can be stored indefinitely. Bone stock can be used as either an ingredient for meals, or cooked alone to produce bone broth.

Bone broth requires 5 bone stock to craft, provides 0.45 nutrition, and has an extended expiry date. It can also be used as substitute baby food when necessary.

Please Note: Given that one can not specify desiccated corpses, rotten corpses are also available for use. Please bear this in mind if you are also using Butcher Rotten, and prioritise you chosen tasks as needed.

Also Note: Insect corpses do not have bones, so they will not drop bones in this mod. You can check out my other mod, Chitin where insect corpses drop, well...chitin.

*Please note that Walking On Headshells. is currently inactive due to limitations on trackers for the Vanilla Achievements Mod. This will be activated as soon as a suitable tracker (that can track placing floor tiles) had been made (either by the mod author, or someone who knows C+ or whatever - not me though)
