Alright, so this is my goal... my dwarves make a folded steel from two different steels I have in my game, if they happen to have a dragon carcass they can infuse some dragony goodness into it. This is what I've got:

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:DRAGON_STEEL_MAKING]
[NAME:make dragon steel bars]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[REAGENT:A:300:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:STEEL]
[REAGENT:B:300:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:CRUCIBLE_STEEL]
[REAGENT:C:1:BARREL:NONE:NONE:NONE]<dragon's blood>[BARREL][PRESERVE_REAGENT]
[PRODUCT:100:4:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:DRAGON_STEEL][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]
[FUEL]
[SKILL:SMELT]
No idea how to get blood into the smelter, or if it's possible to specifically choose a dragon's blood (though I suppose it would be possible to make that a unique type of blood for dragons).  Alternatively if barrels are still a no-go for reactions, how would I go about adding some ground dragon bones a dragon heart to the mix?

[Warlord255]

Right now, containers are bugged for use as reagents... dragon hearts are solid, though, so it should work. Can't recall the exact tag, but it probably involves CORPSEPIECE.

A dragon heart would be something like MEAT:NONE:CREATURE_MAT:DRAGON:HEART.

[Hyndis]

Dragon hearts will not be set aside though, so will probably either rot or be eaten on accident.

You could have the dragon drop something else upon death, or use something like dragon leather or dragon bones.

I like the idea of dragon bones.

Dragon bone steel? Dragon bones dipped in steel, with the metal filling up all of the little voids in the bone.

[The13thRonin]

I did something similar in DIG DEEPER .40D

Just get the dragons to drop something on death, like how element-men drop statues. Then use this as your reagent. Beware, as to my knowledge you cannot have a creature die and leave a corpse as well as drop an item, so this item will replace the corpse and you will lose all the dragon blood/bones/meat that you used to get.

[Intelligent Shade of Blue]

Can you have a creature drop multiple things? If so, you could have the dragon drop a dragon CORPSE and your special reagent.

[Djohaal]

Hmm, what about making a reaction to process the dragon heart into a dozen or so unrottable dragon extracts, and then each dragon steel reaction consuming one of those. This way you could set the workshop to immediately process the dragon heart as soon as the dragon dies.

Works!  A dragon drops a heart stack of 4 so this will get 24 dragon steel, which seems like a fair amount.

I'll see about adding a reaction that turns a dragon heart into a stack of "vial of dragon's blood" and give it the [AUTOMATIC] token.

That would work. Make sure that the product does not rot and is non-edible so it'll stick around.

Dragons are rare enough that you won't exactly be able to mass produce this steel, so for the 1 dragon you get you need to make the most out of it.


...unless of course you have modded your dragons so they spawn as frequently as hoary marmots. That could be fun.
