Plant Reaction
« on: June 23, 2008, 05:14:13 pm »
How do you make it so a plant could be transformed to wooden logs at the smelter by a Reaction ...


After 17 views I thought someone might know how to do this but I guess not... :'(
There goes my great tree farming idea... :'(

17 views and you expect an answer to a question you didn't put in the subject. all that means is 17 people opened this hoping for more info, not a question. I have done this before and it's not tough and I'm pretty sure others have posted about before. But I'll go rooting through my old saves to see if I can find the reaction. One of the biggest things I learned about reactions when I was playing with this was that if you're adding a completely new reaction then you need a new world. if you're replacing an existing reaction then you can use an existing world.

Well I think I found it. It was a 38a game. I think I try updating it and see if it still works...

Code: [Select]
[REACTION:PLYWOOD]
[NAME:Wood from compressed plants]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:8:PLANT:NO_SUBTYPE:WOOD:NO_MATGLOSS]
[PRODUCT:100:1:WOOD:NO_SUBTYPE:WOOD:GIANT_SHROOM]

You can see details of the limitations of this and why "PLANT:NO_SUBTYPE:WOOD"==Plumphelmets on the wiki at:
http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Reactions

It's easier using the thread reactions because the above requires the mushrooms to be outside of containers.

ALSO Note. this reaction is definitely not intended, it doesn't take into account stack size. I had set it up to require 8 input plants but your dwarve will pull 8 stacks of the plant (any where from 8 to 40 units). And no seeds will fall out too. It works but it is MUCH better using thread as the reagent.

I think you should read through that post that Surma linked a little more carefully. It is an example of how to use the thread as the reagent.
