Help with gem crafted weapons - specific material names
« on: February 21, 2013, 06:37:34 pm »
Hi all!

I have a question when it comes to gem crafted items...
Im currently fidling with making gem crafted weapons and such...

Ive managed to make the workshop and the reaction work...

However... when I craft the weapon it only says: "gem battle axe"...
How would I make my reaction and what else do I need to do to make it specify what material was used rather then name it generic...

If i use rubies I want the game to tell me its a ruby battle axe etc... is there a way to do that without have to specify every reaction for every gem type?

Is this something I should use in my reaction and how does it work?
GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT ?

Plz be gentle with me Im pretty green on all this :P

Could you please post the mods you've made in the raws? It would make troubleshooting so much easier.

Never mind I got that to work now...

However... how do I make them put the gem weapons in the stockpile?

I'm not quite sure what you are trying to store here. IS this a weapon made out of a gem? Are you encrusting or improving weapons with gems? If you post your reaction then we will know exactly what you are doing an will be able to help, elsewise there isn't much we can do.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

They won't.  It's not made of a material the stockpile recognizes (steel, bronze, copper, etc).

I have a clunky solution for this problem: Make a metal called "gem", then make redirect all reactions that use gems to make weapons/armor to this "gem metal". The weapons will be called gem and will be properly stockpiled. Since there are 3 types of gems in the game (ornamental, semi-precious and precious) it would make sense to make 3 "gem metals" with different strengths. That way rock crystal gem swords are weaker then diamond gem swords.

Hope that helps.
