Making Stone Beds?
« on: August 27, 2008, 12:00:24 pm »

Hey everybody, I was wondering if it was possible to create beds out of stone (with a little modding of course) because for some reason my new race didn't embark with anything to cut trees with and I think the only really important wood-based product is beds. If somebody could answer it would be greatly appreciated. ;D

I believe the only way that you can get stone beds is when a dwarf makes one randomly in one of their strange moods.

Use a smelter reaction to make the stones wood. To make it easier and to be able to have marble beds, for example, the marble-wood should have the same name as the the stone.

It may mess the things up for you if you want to make wooden bolts etc. though.
Also if you name it just like stone you'll have troubles building walls of marble :). Carpentry or Masonry?
But you still can have some nice indicator to show you what are you doing here.
Like "clean marble" or something like this.

When you actually build the wall, the name Wall in the (Q) menu will show up in a gray for masonry or a brownish for carpentry.

Man I know. I meant the selection screen when you try to build the wall OF something.

Thanks for all of your input! I'll try the smelter idea, and if that doesn't work then I'll just wait for the caravan.

Dismantle the wagon, it'll get you a few beds in the meantime. Alternatively, you could just make a REALLY badass dining room for each one and they shouldn't mind MUCH.

you can also use smelter reactions to make the beds,

[REACTION:CARVE_DOLOMITE_BED]
[NAME:carve dolomite bed]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:1:STONE:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:DOLOMITE]
[PRODUCT:100:1:BED:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:DOLOMITE]
Obviously, you would need to create a separate entry for each stone type

Or make a reaction class, but you would have to add it to every single stone type
add [REACTION_CLASS:STBED]
to all your stone matgloss entrys then use

[REACTION:CARVE_STONE_BED]
[NAME:carve stone bed]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:1:REACTION_CLASS:STBED]
[PRODUCT:100:1:BED:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:DOLOMITE]
hmm, that would pump out a dolomite bed though, ill have to experiment with this some more, get back to you

How would I do this for Adamantine beds (I have the free adamantine cheat set up)?  On distantly related note, how can I get the smelter to produce adamantine strands in addition to wafers?  I'd like to get into some cloth making and adamantine clothing sounds fun.

Edit:  perhaps like this?

[REACTION:FORGE_ADAMANTINE_BED]
[NAME:forge adamantine bed]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:1:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:ADAMANTINE]
[PRODUCT:100:1:BED:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:ADAMANTINE]

One of the following for the strands?

[REACTION:ADAMANTINE_WAFERS]
[NAME:make adamantine wafers]
[SMELTER]
[PRODUCT:100:1:THREAD:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:ADAMANTINE]
[PRODUCT:100:1:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:ADAMANTINE]

[REACTION:ADAMANTINE_STRANDS]
[NAME:make adamantine strands]
[SMELTER]
[PRODUCT:100:1:THREAD:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:ADAMANTINE]

How do I change the number of bars/strands produced per smelting?

The number produced is the 1.
The chance of sucess is the 100.
If i remember you could add multiple results to one reaction.
So you could in a way have a make it all reaction that produces every known product from one block of stone. Tell me if I am wrong.

100 is not a chance, it's a percentage of the output.

Every time I skim over this forum I read this topic as "Making Bone Beds?", which is - on an off topic note - quite dwarvenly awesome.  ::)

I would love beds made from the boned of your enemies.. Give the warriors masterwork beds created from the bones of their slain.
