I have decided to mod in the ability to cast an anvil but don't want it to be as simple as smelting it. I have tried to set up the following item as a reaction reagent for the process:

Code: [Select]

[ITEM_TOOL:ITEM_TOOL_ANVIL_CAST]
[NAME:anvil cast:anvil casts]
[VALUE:10]
[STONE_MAT]
[TILE:229]
[SIZE:500]
[UNIMPROVABLE]
and have it created in the reaction:

Code: [Select]

[ITEM_TOOL:ITEM_TOOL_ANVIL_CAST]
[REACTION:MAKE_ANVIL_CAST]
[NAME:make anvil cast]
[BUILDING:KILN:CUSTOM_A]
[REAGENT:clay:1:BOULDER:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[HAS_MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:FIRED_MAT]
[PRODUCT:100:1:anvil cast:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:clay:FIRED_MAT]
[FUEL]
[SKILL:POTTERY]
but whenever I try to run the reaction in game it crashes. At this point I figure this probably has to do with [STONE_MAT] being a bad/non-existent token or some issue it being a tool. I Only tried it as there are [METAL_MAT] and [WOOD_MAT] tokens. I would use [HARD_MAT] and link it to the Craftdwarf's workshop instead if wood wasn't included in [HARD_MAT]. Basically I am looking for a way to make it so that the anvil cast can only be ceramic, stone, and possibly but preferably not metal.
I also plan on using these for the casting of anvils once I get the above working as intended if I can.

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:CAST_IRON_ANVIL]
[NAME:cast iron anvil]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[REAGENT:A:600:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:IRON]
[REAGENT:B:1:TOOL:ITEM_TOOL_ANVIL_CAST:NONE:NONE]
[FUEL]
[PRODUCT:100:1:ANVIL:NONE:METAL:IRON]
[SKILL:SMELT]

[REACTION:CAST_STEEL_ANVIL]
[NAME:cast steel anvil]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[REAGENT:A:600:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:STEEL]
[REAGENT:B:1:TOOL:ITEM_TOOL_ANVIL_CAST:NONE:NONE]
[FUEL]
[PRODUCT:100:1:ANVIL:NONE:METAL:STEEL]
[SKILL:SMELT]
I think I have used these before and that they do work but I don't remember whether I should be using 600 [150(bar size)*4] or just 4. I think this should be okay but as far as I can remember no vanilla item uses more than 3 bars if you discount Candy wafers. Also if I wanted to increase the required fuel for the casting process could I add additional [FUEL] tags or would I need to use [REAGENT:C:150:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:COAL:NO_MATGLOSS]?

My main issue is with creating the anvil cast and I know there are other places people have asked about casting anvils but most of them seemed to be just the smelter reactions.

Edit: I have figured the above out. I used anvil cast instead of TOOL:ITEM_TOOL_ANVIL_CAST then when I first noticed I tried to do ITEM_TOOL:ITEM_TOOL_ANVIL_CAST. Seems like it is going to be an interesting day.

Well, I spotted one definite error:

[REACTION:MAKE_ANVIL_CAST]
   [NAME:make anvil cast]
   [BUILDING:KILN:CUSTOM_A]
   [REAGENT:clay:1:BOULDER:NONE:NONE:NONE]
   [HAS_MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:FIRED_MAT]
   [PRODUCT:100:1:ITEM_TOOL_ANVIL_CAST:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:clay:FIRED_MAT]
   [FUEL]
   [SKILL:POTTERY]

I'm not sure if you can staple :FIRED_MAT onto the end of a material token.  If it works, great.  If not, remove the :FIRED_MAT and the game should let you make a cast out of gooey clay stuff.

I think I have used these before and that they do work but I don't remember whether I should be using 600 [150(bar size)*4] or just 4. I think this should be okay but as far as I can remember no vanilla item uses more than 3 bars if you discount Candy wafers. Also if I wanted to increase the required fuel for the casting process could I add additional [FUEL] tags or would I need to use [REAGENT:C:150:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:COAL:NO_MATGLOSS]?

The requirement for 4 bars would be 600 units of reagent.  Someone might come by later and mod in Minibars of size 75 or something, and this 600 has you covered.

I don't know about adding multiple FUEL tags, but my guess is that they'd be ignored.  If you add coal as a reagent then it will be required even by a magma smelter (as is the case with steelmaking).

Edit: Why is the tool re-declared at the top of the reaction?  I snipped that bit out.

Try:

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:MAKE_ANVIL_CAST]
[NAME:make anvil cast]
[BUILDING:KILN:CUSTOM_A]
[REAGENT:clay:1:BOULDER:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[HAS_MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:FIRED_MAT]
[PRODUCT:100:1:TOOL:ITEM_TOOL_ANVIL_CAST:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:clay:FIRED_MAT]
[FUEL]
[SKILL:POTTERY]
Everything except the product line is just fine and correct AFAIK.

Thanks for the replies . I think the re-declartion was just a copy paste error. And it was the fact that I had mis-declared it as anvil cast instead of TOOL:ITEM_TOOL_ANVIL_CAST. You guys kept on ninja'ing me on my edits and post while I did enough testing to be sure this had been resolved.

I think it is all working now. I walked away for a bit and came back with fresh eyes and saw it then spent some time playing around with it. Adding multiple fuel tags does seem to be ignored. I don't want to force the use of coal even in a magma forge and as it is the process is cumbersome and costly enough to discourage it's use except by necessity.
