So, I created a reaction to brew eggs into egg nog, modeled after the mead reaction:

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:MAKE_EGGNOG]
[NAME:make egg nog]
[BUILDING:STILL:CUSTOM_E]
[REAGENT:A:1:EGG:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[UNROTTEN]
[HAS_MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:NOG_MAT]
[REAGENT:B:1:BARREL:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[EMPTY]
[DOES_NOT_ABSORB]
[PRESERVE_REAGENT]
[DOES_NOT_DETERMINE_PRODUCT_AMOUNT]
[PRODUCT:100:5:DRINK:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NOG_MAT]
[PRODUCT_TO_CONTAINER:B]
[PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]
[SKILL:BREWING]
For some odd reason, though, my brewer is brewing the egg nog, dumping it on the floor, and then just putting the barrel back into the furniture stockpile.  I know some people don't like egg nog, but this is a little ridiculous.  Is the PRODUCT_TO_CONTAINER tag just broken?  I've never actually tried brewing mead before.

[Girlinhat]

He knows it's bad.  Eggnog has mayo and sugar in it.  And more sugar.

[Assassinfox]

My mod's about dwarves living in chocolate caves and beating each other over the head with lollipops and my brewer is concerned with the calories in her egg nog?

[Bdthemag]

Guess it doesn't have manners either, can you code that in?

[Brandstone]

Actually...

[Assassinfox]

Egg nog jokes aside, nobody knows what's wrong with my reaction?

[Brandstone]

I don't think nog_mat is a valid tag there. That has to be a reaction class, and I don't think we can add new ones. In fact, I'm pretty sure you don't need to use has material reaction. It probably doesn't matter, but I also don't think you need the product_dimension and does_not_absorb tags.

Edit: What does k tell you about the gunk they're dropping on the floor?

[Deon]

We can add new ones easily.

Can you post the whole thing with added reaction classes and stuff? Is the material solid by chance?

[Assassinfox]

Actually, you can create new reaction classes.  Half of this mod runs on custom reaction classes.

Here's my modded eggshell material template:

   [MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:NOG_MAT:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:NOG]

I then went into all the megabeast and domestic egglayers and individually changed their eggs to use this template instead of the default.  Then, I added something like this to each one:

[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:NOG:CREATURE_ALCOHOL_TEMPLATE]
      [STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:frozen egg nog]
      [STATE_NAME_ADJ:LIQUID:egg nog]
      [STATE_NAME_ADJ:GAS:boiling egg nog]
      [PREFIX:NONE]

Running the reaction gives me a workshop with a stack of 60 egg nog and an empty barrel.  When the still is deconstructed, the egg nog seems to mysteriously vanish.

[Brandstone]

I guess it's time for me to read up reaction classes. The more you know!

[Jay]

Are there any errors in the error log?

[D_E]

Are you sure that DRINK requires a PRODUCT_DIMENSION?

When I was experimenting with reaction-made alcohol in the previous release (.18), I don't think I needed that.  I also discovered that there was an upper limit to the number of DRINK objects that could be placed in a barrel in one go.  I believe PRODUCT:100:20 worked, but PRODUCT:100:30 resulted in the product being dumped on the floor.  (Oddly enough, putting PRODUCT:100:15 twice resulted in a total of 30 drink being put into the barrel).

So basically I think there's something wrong with the amount of DRINK being produced, that's causing it to not fit in the barrel.

[Assassinfox]

I copied all the values from the mead reaction.  Is mead getting dumped out of barrels too?

Maybe it has to do with the number of eggs in a stack as opposed to the units of honey typically used in the reaction.  I'll try messing with the output.  Thanks.
