Free silk needed!
« on: August 16, 2010, 09:47:00 am »

In a five-year fortress of mine, one of my dwarves was just taken by a strange mood and ran off to grab a clothiers workshop. The problem is, she wants cave spider silk and none currently exists (I havn't tunneled down to the underground yet, and have no military to do so). Normally I'd take the penalty of one crazy dwarf, except she happens to have around five children, who are all friends with just about every other dwarf I possess. If mummy goes mad and dies, they'll eventually die, and a tantrum spiral will be just around the corner. I need a way to get free cave spider silk and I need it right now! I was thinking of modding the smelter reactions, but all I get is a useless item called 'cloth' that absolutely nobody will use. How do I alter this?

if you add
Code: [Select]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:SILK:SILK_TEMPLATE]
[WEBBER:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:SILK]
to a creature, they'll make silk just like a cave spider will.

that was a luky dwarf. I had one dabbling surgeon fail so spectacularly that the patient skull flew a tile away from the table.

DF doesn't mold players into its image - DF merely selects those who were always ready for DF.

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?
