[Goblin Dragoon 085]

Ok, assuming the following reaction:

   [REACTION:FLUX_CHEAT]
   [NAME:Magical Flux]
   [SMELTER]
   [REAGENT:1:STONE:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:NO_MATGLOSS]
   [PRODUCT:10:1:STONE:NO_SUBYTPE:STONE:MARBLE]

This reaction creates marble. Unfortunately the reaction also allows marble as reagent, resulting in an endless cycle of pain, where the created marble will be used to create yet another marble.

Is there a way to tell the reaction to use any stone, except flux as reagents?
I am thinking along the lines of: [REAGENT:1:STONE:NO_FLUX:STONE:NO_MATGLOSS]
Does anyone know the working code?
thanks in advance

[Sean Mirrsen]

What exactly stops you from forbidding marble for that particular reaction?

[Goblin Dragoon 085]

Íts an reaction.
So forbidding marble as an economic stone does nothing.

Or are you speaking of forbidding it somehow in the reactions_standard.txt?

[Sean Mirrsen]

Ah, damn, I forgot you can't individually disable reactions.

Well, there's only one option then - add a [REACTION_CLASS:NOT_FLUX] to all stones in existence...

[Thassa]

Another option, pick some worthless stone that is all over your map, and only make flux out of that.

Umm, no, he's saying that the marble he's making WITH this reaction is being used to make marble.
You can always forbid the marble as soon as it gets created...
Or make your stone stockpile nearest the smelter accept any stone EXCEPT marble and make another one far off that only accepts marble.  They'll go for the closest stone, so make sure they haul the old marble before you make the new one.  Then you should be good to go.

And then

code:

 [REACTION:FLUX_CHEAT]
[NAME:Magical Flux]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:1:STONE:NOT_FLUX:STONE:NO_MATGLOSS]
[PRODUCT:10:1:STONE:NO_SUBYTPE:STONE:MARBLE]

Right?

[umiman]

[REACTION:FLUX_CHEAT]
[NAME:Magical Flux]
[SMELTER]
[PRODUCT:200:1:STONE:NO_SUBYTPE:STONE:MARBLE]

Since you're cheating already, shouldn't you just go all the way and do that? It'll solve your problem and give you marble even on stoneless maps.

Either way, the reason why your dwarves are using marble to create marble is because it's the closest thing. Besides, they are using 1 marble to create 10 in your formula, so it's still a plus relationship.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Actually, he's creating 1 marble with a 10% chance.

And to include a REACTION_CLASS stone in a reaction, you need [REAGENT:1:REACTION_CLASS:NOT_FLUX].

[umiman]

Ahhh... Right, so that's why the number was on the other side. It's odd but hey, whatever floats your boat.
