I just had a toxic fallout kill everything on my map----- i had LOTS of animals on the map lol. Seems a waste to just throw the bones away- can i make anything out of them? (even if i have to download a mod- please recommend one)

Sadly as of yet you can do nothing with bones but cremate.

Yeah, you should be able to make bread out of the bones somehow.

Bread? I'd agree if you had said weapons, but bread?

Isn't this how bread is made? I've never entirely understood bread. I just know from the legends that it is apparently made from grinding bones somehow.

No, never heard of that. My father used to own a bakery and never heard of using bones.
Usually bread is made of dough that is usually made of flour and water and sometimes other things like sugar and salt.

Pile them up in front of your killbox, light them on fire next attack.

I would recommend a two or three wide firebreak of non-flammable material between everything and the bones, lol.

I'm guessing bakeries don't suffer from regular home invasions that give them a sufficient supply of invader bones to grind into bread, then. Traditional bread, from what I understand, is made from grinding these bones.

Maybe you're talking about Broth Soup? But you won't grind the bones for that.

Wow, an actual use! Everything in RimWorld is a resource!  :)
Also, I'm pretty sure there was a mod somewhere that let you craft skull totems or something out of bones, but I can't find it right now.
