Melting down early named items?
« on: June 04, 2013, 01:38:10 pm »

I have a lot of non-masterful items that I'd like to melt down and reforge.  I noticed that selecting such items for melting doesn't work.  Is there a workaround?

they're treated like artifacts, so they won't be dumped, traded, or melted.  If you just want dwarves to not use them, then you have lots of possibilities.  Atomsmashing, dropping into hell, dropping into SMR, freezing, crushing with cave-in, and melting should all work.  Also forbidding them once they're de-equipped, or building them into weapontraps.

This DFHack stocks plugin by falconne allowed me to dump an artifact large gem. I don't have any artifacts or named items to test on, but I'm cautiously assuming that 'dump' is not the only flag you can add.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.
