Rock -> food request
« on: April 10, 2009, 10:56:37 pm »
If there is such a mod, or a way to mod stone to be edible/drinkable (uhm.. yeah..),
or atleast process to food/beer, I'd apreciate it. ^_^

If such a mod exist, could you please show me where?


(I'm litteraly tripping over rocks, and my dwarves are starving to death in most of my fortresses.)

*Ahem.*

Well, Ultimuh, it says below your name that you are a "Dwarf Dehydrator Expert." Have you discovered the fabled secret of keeping dwarves in suspended animation by dehydrating them and storing their dessicated bodies in barrels? Such a breakthrough would be of inestimable value to the science of transportation-by-catapult.

Well, I do mange to keep them fed and satisfied at some times,
but there are times when I just cannot keep food for all the incomming 20+ migrants.
I fail ending my fortresses with glorious bloodbaths and puppies on fire,
since they all gobble up all the food I have before that even happens.
(Losing is indeed fun. But not by starvation.. its a rather slow and Boring way to loose..)


And about my expertise.. well.. they all drink more beer than I can make, and I havent figured out how to make them drink fresh water yet.. Hmm.. Maybe I should change my title slightly..


Anyway, uhm.. so I guess there is no such mod as I asked about yet?

Actually, it might be possible to mod a smelter reaction to produce food for nothing.

Oh yeah, you'll probably have to remake all of the forts you want the mod in. Just a heads up.

very possible to make food from stone- however, if you are unlucky, you may suffer from the exploding clouds of freezing gas bug.

Look at reactions in the dwarf wiki: http://dwarf.lendemaindeveille.com/index.php/Reactions

and then use these token tables to construct your recipe:

You don't need to cheat, just bigger farms and a dedicated Planter.

i can make more food and drink then i really need by starting off with 2 planters and getting a farm up relatively early, grow plump helmets, brew into alcohol and then cook... makes quite a bit.
