... how does it work?

See, I wanted elves to have some kind of soap. Just because. But of course, they wouldn't use lye and tallow. So I figured, there's an actual plant called soaproot, let's work from that; it'd be useful for forts where my dwarves just won't put lye in barrels, too.

The problem is, the reaction part is confusing me. Can I get away with this:

[REACTION:MAKE_SOAP_PLANT]
   [NAME:make soap from soaproot]
   [BUILDING:SOAP_MAKER:CUSTOM_P]
   [REAGENT:A:1:PLANT:NONE:ROOT_SOAP:NONE][UNROTTEN]
   [PRODUCT:100:1:BAR:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:SOAP_MAT]
   [SKILL:SOAP_MAKING]

Or will that create some kind of error, since the material templates seem to connect SOAP_MAT to tallow? In which case, what tags would I use to make a soap material based off a plant, since LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT obviously wouldn't fit? Is that even possible? I'm not sure how hardcoded soap is.

Let me know how this works out for you, as I have plans on doing something similar with medicinal herbs.
