Can dogs eat dead corpses?

[Beep]

Is there a command or something i can do that makes them go eat dead people?

[rompier02]

Hi. No commands. They just do it auto. Think most critters do the same in this game.

oh ok thanks!

Not quite accurate. Wild dogs will eat corpses, your owned dogs will not. They'll chase limbs and eat those, but not whole corpses.

I tamed a BeakThing with the TameBeasties mod and it will sprint to and eat any corpses present. Like I witnessed that thing running trough half the map to eat one passed out farmer. It will do it all by itself automatically as long as it does not have another task. Curiously it seems like eating a corpse will not restore its hunger tho.

Hello my friend, are you sure about this? I once saw my dog had the "Eating body" job iirc?

You must have a mod installed that alters the player faction or bonedogs/wolves behavior.

By default, player faction dogs won't eat corpses. Wild dogs will.

Nah. My mountain dog used to eat corpses when idle. That was when ' Guy & a Dog ' start spawns one. Don't use mods either. It was better than playing limbs. Even the dogs bought from the HN Farms do it too. Cornelius didn't though.

I am pretty sure they can eat corpse too. Maybe it was not my dog? But I am pretty sure it was a bonedog, not wolf or mountain dog.

Don't doubt you bunny. I am sure my mountain dog did. Cornelius no.

A mod is required for PC animal's to eat corpses

[Hatsune Neko Gaming]

I know my animal trader's mod does.
Past that I don't know any other mods that add it.

[Hatsune Neko Gaming]

It works on my mod.
Though Gutters tend to be the ones who most often use the AI control.

I thought I saw someone on YouTube who had one of their minions clearing up his base by putting dead bodies into some box.
But I can't see it in build mode. Is there such a thing and will it deal with dead animals or just dead "people"?
Or am i going mad!!??

It's probably the corpse furnace. You can research them at tech level 2.

And don't forget to set it a perma-job. Works perfect with 'forage animals' job(shift+LOOT).
