Regarding Gem crafts
« on: December 13, 2014, 03:48:05 pm »

My embark has decided that 'Shallow Metals' means zero Iron, but a metric tonne of chests and gem clusters ::)  I used the Manager to queue up some crossbows and a few other things.  The orders were verified, yet not a single Dwarf has started the tasks.  I have both Jeweler and Gemcutter workshops, so I'm unsure what I am missing here.  Any info is appreciated :)

are you using whichever of "cut vs. rough" gems the reaction you want to do requires?

I have plenty of both Cut & Rough.  I scanned through all of the options at Gemcutter shop, and only found 'weapon hilt/blade', which appear to be generic finished goods.  My manager verified the Picks and Crossbows though, so I'm not sure if I am missing the right Workshop, or some other reagent.

Ah, brilliant.  I think there needs to be an FAQ sticky with only 1 answer; search reaction_masterwork.txt :P

Indeed -- it's how I can sometimes help people with modes I haven't played in years, like Dwarf mode :)
But never search just one raw file!  "Find in files" the whole folder!

would there be a way to add in a reaction to either of the gem workshops to break down gem crafts? i know it has the reactions for some of the more abundant crafts, but i am finding alot of relics that give ruby statues, tables etc, and i would like to reclaim the gems from those as well
