I am in an ambient with an aquifer and (still) no acces to stone, so.. could a reaction be made to make a wooden quern or millstone? (i have lots of whip vine and i dont want to waste it) Someone told me i could get an answer here faster than in suggestions. If it is possibe, could you please post it?

You could try changing an existing reaction that you don't use in reaction_smelter in your save-specific raws to something like this. In this case I just modified the trifle pewter reaction to make millstones out of wood. Make sure to edit an existing one, don't add a new reaction. And especially don't touch the [REACTION:XXX] tag.

[REACTION:PEWTER_TRIFLE_MAKING]
   [NAME:carve wooden millstone]
   [BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
   [REAGENT:A:1:WOOD:NONE:NONE:NONE]
   [PRODUCT:100:1:MILLSTONE:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NONE]
   [SKILL:CARPENTRY]

Also make sure you edit your /save/region*/raw/objects/ folder, that's where the RAWs for saves are.

You can change it back when you get your millstone.

P.S. Good idea, thanks. I am using it .

Don't we sort of have to have stone to make a smelter?

Pffft... Details.... \waves hand


 

nice catch there.

Would it be possible to make a custom workshop that takes in a log and spits out a wood millstone maybe?

[Shukaro]

Hehe, didn't think of that small detail. It is of course possible to make such a workshop, but, adding a new workshop requires a world regen, and he's already started.
What could be done, however, is adding it to the soap maker's workshop. The reaction would then be:

[REACTION:PEWTER_TRIFLE_MAKING]
   [NAME:carve wooden millstone]
   [BUILDING:SOAP_MAKER:NONE]
   [REAGENT:A:1:WOOD:NONE:NONE:NONE]
   [PRODUCT:100:1:MILLSTONE:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NONE]
   [SKILL:CARPENTRY]

What happens when you add ITEM_QUERN to material_template_default under wood? Maybe that can allow it to be built in the carpenter's shop?

[Shukaro]

I'm not quite sure how that would interact with the hard-coded workshop, but it seems likely.

[dree12]

Hmm, doesn't seem to work. I guess the ITEM_ tokens are for worldgen only. But why would ITEM_QUERN and ITEM_HARD be needed for worldgen? Oh well. BTW, there are less useful reactions than lay pewter. Aside from trifle pewter and fine pewter (which both have a backup reaction, so just change the unnumbered version that uses ore), there's also MAKE_PEARLASH, for instance, on sandless maps (and wasting the wood isn't useful even on maps WITH sand) (mandates are an exception), and MAKE_PLASTER_POWDER considering the plaster part of healthcare is bugged.

[Salabasama]

Well, sandless maps aren't really an issue anymore, since the roving traders now consider it profitable to haul sandbags across the land.
