I'm trying to make a custom building where a large ceramic pot is required as a building component, but I can't find a category for only that. The best I can find is tool>large pot, but that still includes rock pots (and barrels?)

Is there a way to get just ceramic large clay pots in one category as a build mat?

[Kweri]

In inorganic_other.txt you'll find the definitions for ceramic materials. Tag each of them you want used in your reaction with something like [REACTION_CLASS:CERAMIC].

In your reaction use [REAGENT:ceramic pot:1:TOOL:ITEM_TOOL_LARGE_POT:NONE:NONE][REACTION_CLASS:CERAMIC]. This will only allow large pots made out of materials you tagged with that reaction class.

[thepaan]

OK. It isn't used in the reaction, but rather in the building. Will this work?

[BUILD_ITEM:1::TOOL:ITEM_TOOL_LARGE_POT:NONE:NONE][REACTION_CLASS:CERAMIC][EMPTY][NOT_CONTAIN_BARREL_ITEM][DOES_NOT_ABSORB][CAN_USE_ARTIFACT]

Edit: So, I went ahead and started to test it only some of the stuff isn't available at embark. Upon this reaction finishing, my game is now crashing. I think I messed up the product line but I'm not sure what it should be changed to. Below is the relevant info.

[INORGANIC:BAUXITE_POWDER]

Note you don't need to create a new type of stone to make a powder, just use this for your reation, cutting out the middle material, Also noticed your missing something from your reaction :/

SO with this modified reaction theres no need to add [BAUXITE_POWER] as it will make powder from [BAUXITE] also fixed the [PRODUCT:...] you forgot the main type

[PRODUCT:(chance 1 - 100):(amount made):(main type):(subtype):(material catagory):(material)]

also your build item as a extra ':' after the 1. But I have no idea how get your buildmat to be that spacific, if the REACTION_CLASS works for the buildmat let me know

[thepaan]

I caught the extra colon already, but thanks.

I didn't know about not needing the extra powders. I'll have to clean it up a little bit, but now I have another question about that. When using the powder in another reaction, do I use :POWDER_MISC:NO_SUBTYPE:INORGANIC:BAUXITE:?

The building material line seems to work. I embarked with some empty barrels, some large pots of various materials (tin, diorite, kaolinite), and both clay and fire clay. I turned all the clay into pots, but the only thing that showed up on the list was the fire clay pots. I also found out that the quantity of a bar used as a building mat is the number of bars, not the size of the bars (1, not 150).

Another issue I'm having now is that I can't get it to use the powder in a bag as a building material.

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

If your using the powder as a reagent I think you have to use the size (150) altho 1 would work
so [REAGENT:b powder:150:POWDER_MISC:NO_SUBTYPE:INORGANIC:BAUXITE]

And for the Building mat using powders I don't think that can work... Never tried it so I cannot say it's not possible

EDIT: also slap this on the end of the BAUXITE POWDER making reaction, right at the end of [PRODUCT:....]
[PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]

Thanks  . Everything  seems to be working now, except the dust as building material. I think you are right that you can't use powders, but, i think more specificly, it is things in bags that can't be used. I tried to change the quantity to 1 but the game still said it didn't exist (despite being able to hit 't' and see bags of it at the quern). I further tried to add the bag cotaining it but that let me use any bag. Thus, it appears that the contains:x tag does not work for building materials as it does in reactions.
