How to make leather ropes?
« on: February 16, 2009, 06:37:49 pm »

Is there a way for me to allow ropes to be made of leather, and let my leatherworkers make it? I've explored a lot of the object files but haven't found anything about rope/chain.

You MIGHT be able to make a leather rope via a smelter reaction, however I doubt it would work and it also wouldn't transfer the material properties correctly.  Ropes are one of the items (like beds and barrels) that are still hardcoded -- bizarre hacks aside, you need cloth for a rope, or metal for a chain.

Kobolds are simple beings, ignorant to the nature of weaving and metalworking. Thus leather ropes for wells.
Because I am a damn dirty lurker.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.
