Custom construction
« on: February 01, 2017, 09:38:33 pm »

Is there a way to make a custom construction in DF? I know you can't do this solely with raws, but can you accomplish this by using DFHack as well? Thanks.

EDIT: Also I'm aiming to use C++ for this one, since I know bubkes about Lua.
EDIT #2: If at all possible, could you also still be able to assign work orders to the building? I just it to show up in the construction menu and be able to be mass-designated.

Ah, I read up a little on viewscreen "hooks" and such, so perhaps I'll make it a regular custom workshop, but then move the build option over to the "Constructions" menu. Does anyway know how to make it be mass-designatable?

AFAIK there is no way to make it mass designatable.

If you don't want to deal with modifying the viewscreens yourself, there is a script/module that will do it for you, see "modtools/edit-build-menu.lua".
