Plutonium Making
« on: February 28, 2011, 07:48:21 am »

I have a workshop called a "Dwarven Centrifuge". The Centrifuge allows a mechanic to take a bar of uranium (smelt from pitchblende, which now comes in veins) and turn it into a bar of plutonium. The reaction raws are:

[REACTION:MAKE_PLUTONIUM]
[NAME:make plutonium]
[BUILDING:DWARVEN_CENTRIFUGE:CUSTOM_P]
[REAGENT:A:150:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:URANIUM]
[PRODUCT:100:1:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:PLUTONIUM][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]
[SKILL:MECHANIC]

but I can't get it to do it. What's wrong?

Also, what's the tag for workshops to use just 1 stone as a material?

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

It should be INORGANIC:URANIUM and INORGANIC:PLUTONIUM instead of METAL:URANIUM and METAL:PLUTONIUM.

For workshops, it's:

[BUILD_ITEM:1:NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE][BUILDMAT][WORTHLESS_STONE_ONLY][CAN_USE_ARTIFACT]

No, it should be METAL:bluh there. They're defined as metals, so they use METAL in the third field.

That's not right. All metals use the INORGANIC:bluh. I don't think such thing as METAL:bluh even exists anywhere in raws, at least not in reactions.

EDIT:Okay, posted too hastily, it appears that reaction_smelter.txt DOES have the METAL:bluh tags.

So, it would be a good thing to see the raws of both uranium and plutonium the OP uses.

AFAIK it's technically INORGANIC, but METAL is an appropriate token too, however it's safer to use "inorganic" because it works for ALL inorganic materials, while metal may be limited to metals only (I don't know, I never use it).

What's the problem? Did you add it to permitted reaction? You didn't say where it doesn't work, so we can't really help.

P.S. Also LOL at centrifuge :P. They must rotate it REALLY fast :D.

Hey, you are talking about dwarven physics here! If there can be n=n+1 dragons in single square, while dwarf and tree can't be in the same square, or if you can grab creature from it's tenth left back teeth with using your middle finger, then I think centrifuge should be possible as well!  ;D

But seriously, I suspect that it's either the PERMITTED_REACTION problem or then there are something wrong in the file determining uranium.

Or maybe the radiation is just driving them away or killing them before they can actually do it?

That didn't last long, huh? Shame, cause binary's cool. Anyway, an important message: I will be changing my names on every username based thing I use to ASCIt on/around 10/1. Consolidating, I guess you could say.

I can smelt uranium just fine, that isn't a problem.
