Trying to temp modify reaction raws to get wool
« on: July 12, 2011, 07:28:16 am »
Good day all,

I have a fortress that I would really rather not start over, and a dwarf that is screaming for wool cloth (yarn) when there is nary an alpaca or other wool bearing creature to be seen.  I am trying to modify a reaction so that I can just get some cloth so my dwarf doesn't freak out to little success.  Anyone have a sample PRODUCT line that I can use for a process that outputs yarn cloth?

I'm guessing something like

[PRODUCT:100:1:CLOTH:NONE:CREATURE_MAT:ALPACA:HAIR]

It's not necessary to restart a fortress just because a single dwarf goes insane...

you can save the dwarf with runesmith, you know?


Just change the mood type to "none", click on the dwarf list so the "none" loses focus, and save... you'll get a error in the in-game log telling you exactly what the dwarf wasn't able to get and he'll be fine...


I've even fixed dwarves after they had gone mad with the same method...

Adding a reaction will require a regen anyway so you may as well just wall the dwarf in and/or give him a war dog to minimize any damage he might cause or do as Kaos said and save him with runesmith.

You might even get lucky with a caravan if you just wait it out.

Well I am editing a reaction that I dont intend to use. No hope of a caravan.  Right now it is saved about a minute and a half before he goes insane.

I had not thought about setting the Mood to none.  I will check that out.  I have been trying to limit the runesmith addiction I have been experiencing.

I had really hoped to save him as he is a legendary engraver.

Thanks all for the suggestions!

You could temporarily edit your (region-specific) plant raws and add [YARN] to the pig tail CLOTH material.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

Sent a PM off to OP, but I was able to come up with two of them that worked while I was experimenting last night.

The first one is [PRODUCT:100:1:CLOTH:NO_SUBTYPE:CREATURE_MAT:SHEEP:HAIR] for sheep wool cloth (I imagine it would be the same for alpaca or llama).
The second one is [PRODUCT:100:1:THREAD:NO_SUBTYPE:CREATURE_MAT:SHEEP:HAIR] for sheep wool yarn in order to make the cloth.

I wasn't able to come up with one that worked for getting the raw wool to spin into yarn to make the cloth with, though, but both of these are still really useful in case you need the wool for clothing, crafting, or uniforms. I know that I've been using them to outfit my military specifically with emerald wool cloaks.

Adding a reaction requires a regen, but modifying one does not.  Just pick a reaction like smelting galena or something and replace it with the wool-producing one.  Do not change the reaction's tag/name.

Once you have the wool in hand, save and put the original reaction back.  Of course, all of this should occur on a copy of the save.

Ha, ha, I brought back a post from three years ago. Oh well. It was relevant to a Google search I did last night.
