Imagine what we'll be able to do once Toady migrates all of the workshops to the raws? We could have them processed in farmers workshops instead of smelters, which would make much more sense. And think of all the other things: The ability to make *any* material into *any* object by adding the right entries to the workshops.

You do realize you can make reactions that require no reagents, correct?  Want steel bars without needing coal or iron? Go ahead!  It basically turns the smelter into a replicator.

On the flip side, want to get rid of things?  You could use the smelter as a garbage disposal.  Have a reaction with reagent(s) but no product(s), such as where it requires any stone.  You could get rid of all your excess stone quickly, as well as create legendary furnace operators which only add to the speed.

You can also make a fuel-free reaction by removing the [FUEL] tag, making it like a Magma Smelter, without the magma.  Requires no coal/coke/magma to do anything.

Have fun!

Yeah, umm, I hate to burst your oh-so-detailed bubble, but...

Does this mean when my dwarves die a field of flowers can sprout where the corpses were?
A pretty solution to that foul miasma problem, perhaps?

[HonkyPunch]

Although it'd be pretty much awesome if elves did that instead, so when you fought off an army of them, the outside of your base would be a field of bloody flowers.
And you could totally tell where elves were included in wars...
there'd be flowers everywhere.
have to name the flowers something fruit or related to elves.
ANyone up to finding out if this is at all possible? I'd do it but I have a very basic understanding of this game's modding.

Of course, we should be able to easily make cow milk by adding milkable to the cow's raw, and then spawning some vermin cows at the smelter. I'm feeling too lazy to test it at the moment though.

If you really want to solve a dwarven miasma problem, just add the tag [NOSMELLYROT] to the dwarven creature file. This will mean that they won't generate miasma.

I haven't tested it out yet, but if I hear you all correctly... does this mean that one can... now... finally... after so much waiting... smelt cows?

And get something other then ratweed from smelter reactions as well?

I would be hilariously amused by a reverse smelter reaction to generate cows.

That said, can smelter reactions be designated to other buildings?

OK i'm a necromancer.  But I have not been able to find out if the smelter, can, indeed, create a living nonvermin animal.  (or some way to create vermin that spawn a desired animal on death? or an object which turns into a specific animal on droppage?) 

Thanks in advance.

Monkeyvich.

You can only spawn vermin.  ITEM_CORPSE also spawns vermin.

[i2amroy]

If you try to spawn anything else you get strange 'vermin' cows that act glitchy.
