nobleman wants a diamond item in his room
« on: October 19, 2006, 11:16:00 am »
I'm not 100% sure this is a bug, because maybe there's some way of accomplishing this.

But as far as I know there is no way to create a diamond item that is also placable?

I thought about that, but that's 9 diamonds and I'd rather just drown the nobleman than waste all that.

Also I assume it's still not intended since noblemen ask for windows as a separate type of demand.

The only way I have been able to satisfy this is with a window.

Demands are forgotten after a while, at which point, dismantle the window, and reclaim the gems.

Hopefully this is one of the demands that Toady took out.

Oh shit you're right, I had it in my head that he posted that change for the last patch, not the upcoming. My apologies.

No, it won't, at least not right now.  And unlike building a window, encrusting is irreversible, so you're really better off with the window anyway.

Even a window made completly out of diamonds would only need three diamonds. And it might even work with a window made e.g. out of one diamond and two aventurins, though I never tried that.

To my knowledge demands can be for item types  (tables), materials (onyx item), or both (marble statue). As diamonds count as material and windows as item type, I don't think there's any direct relation between those two demands.

You'd probably want to use one diamond and two pieces of cut green glass.  Ooo, stingy.
