Making sand with a reaction
« on: July 14, 2016, 07:21:21 pm »

So I have a concept for a reaction, but I don't know if it'll work. Ignoring the specific materials used here, would this reaction do what I expect it to do (i.e. take a unit of stone and a unit of powder, and create a unit of sand, which is immediately placed in an empty bag, to be used in glassmaking)?

Code: [Select]
[REACTION:MAKE_SAND]
    [NAME:make sand from junk stone]
    [BUILDING:QUERN:CUSTOM_S]
    [BUILDING:MILLSTONE:CUSTOM_S]
    [REAGENT:STONE:1:BOULDER:NONE:NONE:NONE]

        [CONTAINS:POWDER]
        [PRESERVE_REAGENT]
        [DOES_NOT_DETERMINE_PRODUCT_AMOUNT]
    [REAGENT:BAG2:1:NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE]
        [EMPTY]
        [BAG]

The second bag is also unnecessary. The first bag with the plant powder would be empty after the reaction, so you can use that one and fill it with sand.

I'd also use MILLING as skill, not masonry, since you mill a boulder into powder. It would fit better with the other reactions in the quern/millstone.

Well, the second bag is necessary because powders from plants are made in batches of five, while this reaction uses only one unit. I think. Either way it's insurance. But thanks for the assist.
