If I've embarked on a world which lacks a certain type of metal, is there way to add it in, consider also that I just need ONE bar of it.

[rephikul]

you mean you want one bar of a certain known metal, or one bar of a new metal? The latter is probably not possible.

[Meph]

I think he means embark, not world. In that case order it from the trade liason and wait  a year for it to arrive. If I am wrong, and you have an entire world without one type of metal (which would be weird) you are out of luck.

[simonthedwarf]

Seriously? OMG.

[Meph]

Just a guess, but you have a mood/demand/mandate with someone wanting something that is not aviable ?

[Niveras]

You could modify an existing smelting reaction to produce that metal bar instead of whatever else you'd normally get from that action. This "should" work as long as the metal, reactions, and necessary components were part of worldgen (even if they, for some weird reason, don't actually exist in the world).

You can modify reactions and et cetera in existing worlds, but you cannot add new ones without genning a new world.

I am playing LFR mod, and i need orichaleum to make precision tools  but it doesnt exist on my embark, or in my world!

can i change the reaction post generation to require somethign else than orichaleum?

[Niveras]

Probably, or you could change the "smelt bronze bars" reaction to use something ridiculously common, like a stone boulder of any type or a bone, and produce an orichalcum bar. Just don't forget to change the reaction back if you want to make bronze bars again.

[rephikul]

you can just make it to spawn orichalcum (here in after refered to as ori) IN ADDITION to the bronze bars. Or remove the ori requirements all together.

[simonthedwarf]

I removed the requirement of ori from the building i needed to build. I hope this works.
