I’ve just re-read The Fifth Elephant and want to add some bits and pieces to the raws.

I’ve added a new stone called ‘Fat’ with the specs of tallow. Currently it mines as a boulder of fat, but I want it to mine as a piece (or preferably several pieces) of generic tallow. How would I do this?

[DPh Kraken]

This has to do with item types. Mining only has two options for item type, boulder or gem. You would need to create a new reaction that takes "mined fat" and convert it into tallow globs as the "Render fat" job does.

Thank you!

I’ve created a smelter reaction to convert boulders of fat into globs of tallow, unfortunately it’s putting out bars of fat.
I’ll have another go later this evening!

The smelter job to make use of METAL_ORE isn't a reaction, it's generated by that token. You should be looking in reaction_other for examples of this, and make sure to add it to the playable entity.

I got ya, I see there are two options listed in the Smelter: ‘Smelt fat ore’ (generated by its existence) and ’render fat into tallow’ (the reaction I created).

I currently have [PRODUCT:100:1:GLOB:NO_SUBTYPE:TALLOW] which doesn’t work.
I’m pretty sure it’s not correct because it doesn’t create anything in the smelter.

Is tallow just tallow or does it have to be something-tallow? (ie cow-tallow etc)

[Eric Blank]

It had to be creature specific. Specifically you'd want to use something like CREATURE_MAT:(creature ID):TALLOW, where creature ID is the ID of the creature.

If your tallow shouldn't come from a creature that actually exists in the world, you can create one with the tallow material added and then add [DOES_NOT_EXIST], and it won't show up anywhere but the tallow will still be valid

[Thunderforge]

My added reaction is as follows, but it doesn’t work, I think it’s something in the product line:
(Note, Schmaltz is the name of the rock which should be smelted into elephant tallow)

[REACTION:TALLOW_MAKING]
[NAME:render tallow from fat]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[REAGENT:A:1:BOULDER:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:SCHMALTZ]
[PRODUCT:100:1:GLOB:CREATURE_MAT:ELEPHANT:TALLOW]
[PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]
[FUEL]
[SKILL:SMELT]

Add a subtype NONE (or NO_SUBTYPE) to GLOB, like this:

[PRODUCT:100:1:GLOB:NONE:CREATURE_MAT:ELEPHANT:TALLOW]

[Thunderforge]

Thank you! I’ve just tested it and I’ve now got a stockpile with eight lumps of elephant tallow in it!

I think the next step is to add little clusters of BCBs in the veins of fat.
(BCBs = burnt crunchy bits) but I’ll save that for later.
