Lockets? As in the ones with family pictures in? Could make military dwarves less unhappy about being on duty for a long time, Content that they are protecting their family.

The hourglass could be very useful if it gave a super speed boost.  Manipulating time and all that.  But it should be hard to make, like specific materials, a 10% or 25% chance to make, and with reaction backfires.

[Meph]

Time Jumps sounds more like a magic field to me... the air mage has a short super-speed boost that looks almost like a teleport.

I was more thinking in the way of building mats and Phylacteries. Those are hourglasses as well, arent they?

[sackhead]

handkerchiefs,                                           gives the dwarf a clean self interaction
bags/boxes of gravel.                                 gives throw rock interaction
wallets/purses.                                          No idea
personal smoke machines/pipes                     squid ink like hide reaction

Good damn it. From the wiki:

For reagents, the item token can also be set to ANY_RAW_MATERIAL:NONE (to permit BAR, BOULDER, POWDER_MISC, or GLOB) or ANY_CRAFT:NONE (to permit FIGURINE, AMULET, SCEPTER, CROWN, RING, EARRING, or BRACELET).

Meaning: I cant even target crafts in reactions. I can only say: Any craft, or none. I cant say: Just scabbards, or just lamps, or just whatever. -.-

[razorback]

disregarding reactions, how about using certain crafts as building materials?

like
hammers for masons workshops
saws for carpenters
knifes for butcher and kitchen
etc.

[Apani]

Meph said all vanilla workshops are hardcoded. That's why he made a lot of new workshops instead of just adding new reactions to vanilla ones.

[Meph]

Yeah, its quite difficult. I can can only add/remove jobs from 7 vanilla buildings, and can only change name and design of 2. (screwpress and soapmaker)

[Apani]

Anyway, would it be possible to make the boneyard and other buildings use Bone crafts (which are always single) to override the use-the-whole-freaking-cow-to-make-a-bone-chair glitch? Because if so, I'm sure it would be a very well accepted trade-off.

[Meph]

You mean instead of:

Bone Stack (X) => Bone Item (1)

that I should do:

Bone Stack (X) => Bone Crafts (X) => Bone Items (X) ?

An intermediate step to actually use up all the bones one by one?

[Apani]

Exactly. Also, you get more training this way.

Are you sure about this? The individual items are listed in the stockpiles, thus I think you should be able to target them. Having ANY_CRAFT does not necessarily mean you cannot target the individual items, just that you can also target all crafts.

[scamtank]

Meaning: I cant even target crafts in reactions. I can only say: Any craft, or none. I cant say: Just scabbards, or just lamps, or just whatever. -.-

What are you getting at? ANY_CRAFT and CRAFTS are just a special pointers that let a reaction either take just some random craft good as a reagent ("decorate item with xyz") or produce a randomly rolled stack of them as a product ("make xyz crafts").

[Meph]

Yeah, I had a brainfart, because I was reading up on the wiki, and the wiki is wrong. ^^

I actually use specific crafts already in the craftsman, to make specific crafts one by one. I tested this for reagents, I can make a craft be a scabbard and use it in reagents.
