Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.  Here is my offering based on the wonderful new adventure mode reactions Toady's gifted us with.  To quote the readme:

Wanderer's Friend - an Adventure mode crafting mod.
------
This mod allows extensive crafting to be conducted in Adventure mode, using material produced by butchering your kills. It includes weapons, armour, various tools, ammunition and craft items like crowns, earrings and figurines.

The mod also includes limited potion-brewing in Adventure mode, with a more complex system intended in the future.

It also incorporates a material mod that allows for production of scale/hide, fur, feather, chitin, wool and dried gut thread in both Fortress and Adventure mode. This component is optional due to bugs with the current version of Dwarf Fortress's Adventure mode.

There are quite a few large issues with it currently, but they aren't really avoidable or able to be worked around, so I see no point in delaying posting this mod.  They're listed in the readme, under Known Issues.

You can find the mod here.

To get a better idea of what this mod adds, here is a list of all the reactions:

Woah, fuck! Lotsashit!
EDIT: Where can I download this TanMod? And this one?

[Foamy]

Awesome! Is it possible to make leather bandages?

[Miko19]

While this mod is great, I am still saddened of the inability to butcher (and therefore skin) elves and other sapients.

..man, I must have left my brain in my other pants.  I'll update the original post with a link in a moment.  Sorry!  Oh, and the Tanmod raws are included in this one for completeness' sake.

I'm not certain, but I'm looking into it.  Medical procedures aren't really part of adventure mode yet, sadly.

I think it has to do with the fact that you can't butcher the corpse of a named sentient, even if you can slaughter them via modded ethics and pet tokens.  It's a shame, in any case.

By the way, what tool is needed to tan a hide?

[Lofn]

By the way, what tool is needed to tan a hide?

A scraper, which is knapped from two rocks.  I'll add a list of tools and uses to the original post.

Not sure if this was intentional or not, but the readme file in the main Wander's Friend file, is the same one as the one in the TanMod directory in the rar.

I just downloaded the file from DFFD and you appear to be incorrect.  The one in the root directory is the Wanderer one and the one in tanmod is for the TanMod.

Hmm you might have updated it recently, or izarc's being stupid...

Izarc was being stupid

[Bandages]

<3 you for this.

no homo.

[Supercharazad]

Awesome, and if you can get cloth, you can bandage wounds with it in adv mode, but leather doesn't work well for that, but we could make -*Gut thread cloth*-.

Also, I have  a bow and arrows made entirly of cheetahs, including a full set of armour, I love this mod!

[Josephus]

Fuck yes. This is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping for when Toady posted 31.09.

How exactly do you use cloth to bandage yourself in adventure mode?  I added a 'cut hide into bandages' reaction but I can't quite work out how to use the resulting cloth.

Fuck yes. This is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping for when Toady posted 31.09.

Ideally this will just be used to tide us all over until Toady adds proper adventure mode crafting - glad to see you're pleased, though.

this makes play now MUCH more fun and worthy
