So I've got a reaction that makes Dwarf Bone Blocks to build out of:

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:BONE_BLOCK]
[NAME:carve bone blocks]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:1:BONES:NO_SUBTYPE:BONE:ANY]
[PRODUCT:100:1:BLOCKS:NO_SUBTYPE:BONE:DWARF]
Is there any way to make, say, Fused Bone Blocks instead? Only thing I can think of is to make a fanciful creature called "Fused" that never appears...

[Dhargk]

Um... I think if you put "NO_SUBTYPE" instead of "DWARF" you'd just get "Bone Blocks"

But as far as making "Fused Bone Blocks" you'd have to make a creature called "fused"

[ChocoHearts]

When I tried NO_SUBTYPE I got boiling bone clouds. Not pretty... though very dwarfy. 

My gut feeling is that I'll have to have a Fused creature. Oh well, at least it's doable.

[PTTG??]

Try making the creature called a "Piled" so you can have a Piled Bone Wall. Oh! And same thing with skulls!

[i2amroy]

You could just create a stone named 'piled skulls' or 'fused bones' that didn't appear in nature, than have the reaction make bars of that stone, that should allow you to do all of the cool wall and floor building stuff, heck you could even have a metal named the same thing, and then make weapons and armor out of it.

[ChocoHearts]

Piled Skull, I like that.

And how would I make a stone that doesn't appear naturally?

Code: [Select]

[MATGLOSS_STONE:PILEDSKULL]
[NAME:piled skull][COLOR:7:7:1][TILE:'²']

Downside would be seeing the stuff in worldgen if it's like that... if they were just "regular" bones then no one can use them for armor and stuff, right?

[i2amroy]

Piled Skull, I like that.

And how would I make a stone that doesn't appear naturally?

Code: [Select]

[MATGLOSS_STONE:PILEDSKULL]
[NAME:piled skull][COLOR:7:7:1][TILE:'²']


That should work fine just like that. As it has no environment tags, the only place that it should show up is when it is created by a reaction or an itemcorpse.

Why do people keep quoting me in their signatures?

[ChocoHearts]

Why do people keep quoting me in their signatures?

Because you're funny? If you want, I'll take the quote out. Won't do to make anyone dislike me... for something as silly as that, anyway.

And now, to work! Wish me luck with my project - I think I'll try the Fused and Piled creatures first; I'd rather they be real "bone", y'know? Though then dwarves might like them for their [PREFSTRING:NONE]....

[edit] Ok, looks like the piled skull will have to be a stone, after all - MATGLOSS doesn't have a skull type, so the material has to be bone. But for those who want it:

In reaction_standard.txt:

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:FUSED_BONES]
[NAME:make fused bone block]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:2:BONES:NO_SUBTYPE:BONE:ANY]
[PRODUCT:100:1:BLOCKS:NO_SUBTYPE:BONE:FUSED]

[REACTION:PILED_SKULLS]
[NAME:make piled skull block]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:2:SKULL:NO_SUBTYPE:BONE:ANY]
[PRODUCT:100:1:BLOCKS:NO_SUBTYPE:BONE:PILED]

And in creature_fanciful.txt:

Code: [Select]

[CREATURE:FUSED]
[NAME:fused:fused:fused]
[TILE:'F'][COLOR:7:7:1]
[MODVALUE:5]
[FANCIFUL]

[CREATURE:PILED]
[NAME:piled:piled:piled]
[TILE:'P'][COLOR:7:7:1]
[MODVALUE:5]
[FANCIFUL]

I think just fused bone blocks work for me... at least it'll let me build my BONE FORTRESS.

Of course, if I did the skullstone...

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! STONE FOR THE STONE THRONE!
[/edit]

[edit2]
AHA. Piled and Fused can have two different modvalues... so what I'm gonna do (for myself) is, piled bones take 3 bones to make 2 blocks, modvalue of 3; fused bones use 5 bones to make 3 blocks with modvalue of 5. That way, we'll have "cheap" ones and "expensive" ones.

Not sure about this, but I think "1" bone in a reaction actually requires one stack of bones. I haven't played with reactions myself yet, but I seem to recall reading that somewhere.

[Yanlin]

No. It's perfectly fine that you're quoting me.

[i2amroy]

Not sure about this, but I think "1" bone in a reaction actually requires one stack of bones. I haven't played with reactions myself yet, but I seem to recall reading that somewhere.

I am pretty sure that you are right in that aspect.

[ChocoHearts]

No. It's perfectly fine that you're quoting me.

Whew, ok, good. Thanks.

Bone stacks?! So does that mean the z status menu shows the number of stacks, or was I just mistaken when I looked at it and thought I was calculating how many more blocks I could make?

Which is entirely possible. It IS me, after all.

...And I assume one "stack" is just the number of bones that particular creature leaves on death, right? (In my case, puppies....)

[Skid]

I believe a creature will leave more stacks of bone if finely chopped.  Haven't actually tested it though.
