I want to create a custom 5x5 "Lumber Mill" to create "Planks" and generate infinite logs >.>. (Yes, I am a dirty cheater).

But to make myself less of a dirty cheater (or feel a little bit better about it) I thought that maybe I could limit the building so that it could only be built outside. Is that possible?

DFHack has a thing for that. Don't ask me how it works.

[samanato]

It's the DFHack script "outside-only". You use it like this (taking an example from my coal-furnace):

Code: [Select]

modtools/outside-only -building FURNACE_COAL -type OUTSIDE_ONLY
After "-building" obviously comes the raw name of your building, and the type can be specified EITHER (default), OUTSIDE_ONLY or INSIDE_ONLY.

I'll give it a go! Thank you very much

It can still be build inside, but will deconstruct instantly. Sadly without any feedback for the player.

Might I ask why a lumber mill can only be outside?

The building job automatically cancels in the latest version (don't know, if it worked the same before)

I just named my building "Coal Furnace (outside)" for the lack of a cancellation message.

The idea was to make cheating more difficult. By putting it outside it has less protection, placing the woodcutter at risk.
