Summary

0007024: Sentients' meat cannot be dropped and picked back up.

Description

I butchered a freshly* killed dwarf soldier and gathered some meat, but soon found that it was a little too heavy, so I dropped it on the ground and attempted to pick a little less back up. However, there was nothing on the ground to pick up, according to my grabby menu. I looked at the ground, and there it was, supposedly. But I it continued to tell me there was nothing to grab.

I repeated the same thing with more dwarf meat, and got the same thing.

I then repeated this with a human soldier's meat, and successfully reproduced the results.

Steps To Reproduce

1) Kill a sentient
2) Butcher body with sharp object
3) Pick up meat
4) Drop it somewhere
5) Feel an instant twinge of regret for being so wasteful

Additional Information

Coincidentally, the same thing cannot be reproduced by butchering a boar and dropping its meat. As such, I thankfully now have something gruesome and gory to accompany me on my journeys.

Furthermore, this happens ONLY with the meat. The other body parts resulting from butchery may be picked up and dropped indefinitely.
