Hi everyone,
I've have a hunter who has just gone into a Secretive Mood and is asking for shells. Unfortunately my river is frozen so I can't fist for mussels.

Could someone help me with a modded reaction to turn bone into shell? This is the reaction I've whipped up, which will replace the Coal to Coke until I get some shells.

[REACTION:BITUMINOUS_COAL_TO_COKE]
[NAME:make Shell from bone]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[REAGENT:A:1:BONE:NONE:NONE]
[PRODUCT:1:SHELL:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[FUEL]
[SKILL:SMELT]

How does it look?

You can't add reaction to already genned world, IIRC.
Screw him, why the hell you'd need another legendary bonecarver?
Or use dfhack, if it's suitable here.

As I understood it you can mod an existing reaction in fortress mode.

I love fisting for mussels.

I didn't find a SHELL item type at Wiki, so your reaction should fail.

you can do this instead:

Oh lol. My incredible imagination floods me with disguisting images.

Shells are body parts made out of shell. You can't make body parts in reactions. Your plan is doomed. Find some cave lobsters.

Here's something quicker and easier:

Open the material_template_default file in your saved game folder.  Find the shell template (it's about midway).  See how it has the [SHELL] tag?  Copy and paste this in another template, save the file, and reload your game.  The item you copied the tag into can then be used as though it were a shell.  I recommend bone/feather/scale/nail/tooth/horn/hoof/chitin/eggshell/whatever you have a lot of in your storage or garbage piles.  If you want, you can even remove the tag after the artifact is completed.

That sounds great. Thank you.
