Make Rocks use Boxes/Bins?
« on: February 16, 2012, 08:00:32 pm »
New to editing raws; is there a (hopefully simple) way to let dorfs put rocks in bins or boxes?  It feels a little like cheating, but the only other way I'm aware of to accomplish what I want is the much more hacky "dump a bunch of bauxite in a specially designated refuse pile next to the mechanic, then unforbid it"

No, this is hardcoded.  Check my sig for Knowledge, there's a tool called the Undump that may suffice, albeit slowly.  Otherwise, quantum piles are the norm.

Well, only rock blocks can be put into bins, and I'm not sure you can mod boulders to do the same.

You can, however, turn your rock into blocks, and then write a custom mechanic workshop reaction that turns blocks into mechanisms.
