0001292: Eyes can't be gouged out
Embedded organs cant be torn out by gouges. Also I have NEVER seen an eye or throat be torn out entirely. Sure, I have had eyes go red not never dark grey and throat damage has never gone beyond brown.
Find somthing and gouge his eyes out. then get shot in the throat and see how its torn apart yet its only brown.
I bet 9001 DwarfBucks the throat damage thing has somthing to do with adventuers somtimes bleeding to death.

Might have somthing to do with 0000723

I guess this because it says the throat is torn apart (this should mean red leval damage) yet it only does brown damage. I guess the game gets confused and thinks the throat is simply torn out so you wont stop bleeding. I bet thats why it works with cheeks too, as gouging dosant tear them out and the game thinks that crosbow bolt in your lip dosant know when to stop bleeding.

I havnt tried but I bet it would remain the same, like now even if the throat is cut and a major artery is severed the throat will still be listed as brown.

and eyes still cant be completely torn out, same with eyelids, cheeks, throat,lips, etc

Just checked it while testing another bug and throats don't go beyond brown, at least for a chokehold and strangle by a Bronze Collossus on an Ogre.

Indeed, I still think its because Toady fixed bleeding to death from strangulation by making it so the throat can only turn brown (red throats caused EXTREME bleeding in 40d) so Thus, chokeholds cant fataly damage the throat.

As for embedded body parts not being able to be removed, I have no idea. (is related with 0001297)

ONCE In an earliler version (0.37 I think or something) I saw an elf missing an eyelid, thats about it, I think that missing eyelid happened during worldgen as in combat You can attack embedded body parts all you want and they only can go up to brown. (At least from an axe to an eyelid and trying the "Dwarven death pinch" on body parts such as cheeks, eyes,and lips.)

WHy is this awaiting update? i downloaded the new version and this STILl happens, attacking small embedded body parts many times only turns them brown and a throat "torn apart" and with a major artery severed still shows up as brown. even gouging cheeks turns them brown and eyes cant be torn out, only turned red.

I still see this issue in Linux running version 0.31.16. I'm not sure how useful "me too" reports are, but I did try to add OS and specific version number for clarity.

In the newest version aimed attacks make this even more appearent, try knocking out a enemy and slashing and stabing them in the eyelids a hundred times, you will keep "Tearing apart the skin!" over and over but it will still only show up brown on the wounds screen, and you will never be able to completely remove it, same with other small body parts.
(0013826)

Also I reccomend you try this in arena, make two humans

Take controll of one and strangle the other one into passing out (or cause enough pain untill he passes out, with the way bone breaks cause pain this will be very easy)

While hes out bite him in the throat, now keep shaking him over and over and over, you should keep "Tearing apart the skin!" you can keep doing this and it will also keep saying a "Major artery in the throat has been opened by the attack!" You will never be able to make his throat any worse then brown. you will be unable to remove his throat either. Same with eyes and other small body parts like cheeks, eyelids, etc.

If you want to test it even farther if your thinking "Maybe its cause a bite and shake isnt powerful enough?" Go ahead, do it again except with a sword or a dagger, keep stabbing them in the eyes or cheeks untill they die, you will still be unable to completely remove those body parts, only turn them red/brown/yellow.

On a side note, if you open an artery you can keep attacking it over and over and it will keep saying you opened it, same with tendons and nerves, you can keep attacking them and it will keep saying "A tendon has been torn!" almost as if there are infinite tendons, etc. (Maybe this is why damaged tendons seem to not have much of an effect? Like its not getting destroyed, only "torn" over and over?)

Lets try some science, can somone mod the game so eyes and such dont have the embedded tag? Is it the embedded tag that prevents removal?

or maybe it is the small tag, any ideas?

(0014459)
toybasher   
2010-12-08 10:13   
Or maybe it is because the way damage currently works? Like I noticed damage seems to be "Skin/Brown, Fat/Yellow muscle or bone/red." maybe this could be why throats dont go beyond brown, they only have skin and nothing else.
(0014460)

Yeah, it appears intentional for throats.
(0014461)
toybasher   
2010-12-08 11:20   
But it still seems odd for throats, I mean they only have skin! You can tear apart the artery and it still shows up brown when red would be more appropiate.

(Kinda think throats would be better if they were like in 40d where they could cause suffocating, maybe giving throats a fat, muscle, and "Throat" tissue layer would be nice (throat tissue damage could cuase suffocation?) and I also miss being able to remove throats very much, maybe removing major artery always opening on a thrshold of damage should be changed to random chance? I kinda miss the minor heart wounds of the old version)

Would like to bump this a bit with more info, Can somone find out which tag prevents eyes from being lost? is it embedded?

and I still think we should return the old way throat damage used to work, before in 40D the throat actually had a function and such, now it just...kinda sits there and doesnt really controll breathing like it used too, like you can smack it with a warhammer and they wont die like they should in 40D

perhaps making it like 40D except making the throat "Internal" and "external" at the same time would be cool (yes i know it makes no sense) This way a warhammer could turn it cyan or something and cause suffocation would be a nice feature.

True but the modding thing has a point, if we remove the embedded tag and eyes become removable or something it measn embedded is borked, we need to test this.

I took another look at the RAWs, all the "Unremovable" body parts all have the "[EMBEDDED]" tag, its starting to look more and more like its this tag that makes the body parts unremovable.

I need somone willing to remove the embedded tag and see if eyes become removeable or whatever, would help a ton, thanks!

Confirmed for 0.40.xx . Though the game say you gouged the eye with success, the victim still keeps its eye, although mangled.

Edit: Well, I thought gouging the eyes meant to take it off its orbits, though that is not the case. Wikipedia says that "Eye-gouging is the act of pressing or tearing the eye using the fingers or instruments".

eye gouging in df presently can gets the eye with a red wound. I think we can close this bug. Or at least change it title to something like "[EMBEDDED] organs can't removed in combat"

Yeah, this is the expected behavior. I'm not sure if it was differently wrong before 0.40.01, so I'll mark it as fixed for 0.40.01.
