[quote=“Random_dragon, post:6933, topic:47”]Or beat everything with carp corpses. Or giant carp corpses.
Do unbutchered corpses eventually rot away? I’m getting ideas…[/quote]
Yes, they definitely do. Try a lab start, sometime… you’ll be very sad when those corpse rot away (actually, you’ll be sad when they rot at all, as you need the food…)
But yeah, if you leave a pulped corpse lying around a while, it does rot away. Experienced it with shockers and the like (which is so very sad).
Ninjitsu with edged weapons does it pretty regularly, too.
