I was trying to add a "make leather bag from thin air" reaction to go with my other thin-air reactions, and I _thought_ I had it right, but the cloud of boiling leather which spewed forth as soon as the job was done, killing my metalsmith. (and then the rest of my fort when I set them all to furnace operating and set another bag job on repeat, giggling as they died one after the other.)

Here's the line in question:

code:

[PRODUCT:100:30:BOX:NO_SUBTYPE:LEATHER :DONKEY]

I _think_ that should produce leather bags, as the stockpile category is "boxes and bags", and other items change name depending on what they're made out of (adamantine wafers, glass portals/terrariums, chairs vs thrones, etc), but I'm not sure.

What should I put in there to get ACTUAL leather?

You're doing it right, the problem is that donkey leather boils at the temperature of the smelter. Change the donkey's raw so that it's leather boiling temperature is much higher.

... then why is it making my guys FREEZE to death? And, uh, how do I do that?

Items created in reactions that would normally have temperature values end up using 0 for all values. So they boil into freezing clouds of doom. I'd be interested to see if anyone has a way around this other than turning temperature off.

Well crap. That explains why the fire imp leather bags I just tried to make did the same thing. Maybe I should instead try making pig tails or rope reeds and making cloth and THEN bags. Since making straight leather would probably result in the same thing.
