[POPULATION_NUMBER:1:1] will make it so that there's only one per square of each region. Closest you'll get to making it unique.

[Roses]

Yeah, I think the closest I could come to a "unique" creature would actually be a position in an entity. There would only ever be one at a time, but if one died they would be replaced. I'm sure I could make that work for a couple different mythological creatures. But was kind of hoping that I could get true unique creatures.

Hello again, regulars of this thread. I have been doing well at figuring things out for myself, but I finally have something worth asking here, again.

I currently have need for a secondary, artificial way to make dye. I have to problems with this: one, I am aware the lye already default in the game is able to be stored in barrels, but doing so prevents it from being used in the soap reaction. Why is this, and how may I get around this with my lye? Is it out of the question to have it stored in barrels and be used in reactions like soap-making?

Additionally, this lye is going to be a solid, and I am unsure how to make solids able to be stored in barrels. What do I need to put in the reagents using it, and the product producing it?

^^^ From vanilla "reaction_other" for soap making, It already grabs lye from anything holding it.

also do you mean "Dye" or "Lye" and why would you want solid "Lye"?

also for placing things in a container of any sort
[PRODUCT_TO_CONTAINER:<reagent id>] this right after the product.

[NotErich]

I do indeed mean lye, but the only real reason I want solid lye, is because that's generally what the synthetic replacement in real life is found in. It isn't largely important, but I generally try and get as close as I can to reality.

Is where lye is actually defined in the in the raws? In the end, I need to write another entry for the material, as it will have slight differences.

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

LYE is hardcoded and believe it is solid only in very cold temps. You can store it in a barrel/container that is made from a material that is cold FIXED_TEMP that it freezes solid inside. Altho Would it go from LIQUID_MISC to GLOB? or how does that work?

[misko27]

does anyone know where I can find the mechanics for wear in clothing? I'd like to remove wear in adamantine clothes, if this is at all possible.

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

People have been saying
Armor level = 1
Others say it is the SOFT tag

But personally, SOFT was for older versions and I think only controls if the clothes can be made from CLOTH or THREAD like materials
LEATHER well leather, and HARD for hard materials? Materials with ITEMS_HARD i guess.

ARMORLEVEL:1 will stop wear, but at teh cost of it counting as ARMOR so naked embarks are a go. And civvies must be told to wear them (I think some have said this, others say embark team is naked but will wear clothes that are made, and migrants come clothed?)

Cue Putnam.

This is a touchy subject.

This will cover all I need to for grass?

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

Yes

[IndigoFenix]

Also if you don't define any grass for an area that's supposed to have it (non-desert land, underground water areas, etc), the game will fill it in with a generic green grass called 'Grass'.  Whether you want it to or not.

Toady actually said that chainmail is xounted as clothing now, which has armorlevel. The change made it from LAYER:ARMOR into LAYER:OVER. I guess it is that makes it into clothes now and reduce negative thoughts - that it is not ARMOR layer. Need to try to take out all shirts and robes and see if dwarfes start wearing chainmails:)

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

acaully I believe LAYER:xxxx
is just how the AI will wear it

SOCKS are under
BOOTS are over
so when your foot is attacked teh BOOT will take the blunt of it all, and any eccess will be absorbed by the Sock

So for stacking *I Think* layers go as this:

Top or very outer is first:
COVER = Cloaks and Capes
ARMOR = Breastplates, Leather Armor
OVER
UNDER

so LAYER doesn't make it ARMOR persay, just how the AI layers it when putting things on.

ARMORLEVEL 0 makes it clothes and greater as ARMOR 40d used this for squads, which I think 1 was leather 2 was chain and 3 was plate? It's been too long so I'm most likely wrong on this history lesson.

   (*) Made dwarves equip items based on clothing layering order (there can still be conflicts if some items are already worn)
   (*) Made dwarves eat from backpacks/drink from waterskins earlier
   (*) Made armor objects count for missing clothing thoughts

file change

Auxiliary file changes for 0.34.11:

   armor items
      mail shirt layering moved from ARMOR to OVER

Unless I didn't get the memo (which is probally the case, I rarely visit the Future of the Game thread) but nowhere in there does it state OVER now makes a item CLOTHING

It is 1 of 2 and I'm not sure what

[SOFT]
[ARMORLEVEL:0]

I can try and pin what causes Rot with some science and Putnam is probally right, since SOFT is made from cloth and well SOFT materials so maybe just leaving [HARD] will stop it. Altho I've seen LEATHER clothing items decay, but LEATHER armor not.

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

Question (sorry for double post)

does [PRODUCT:100:5:DRINK:NONE:WATER:NONE] make water count as booze or is it
   [ALCOHOL_PLANT]
   [ALCOHOL_CREATURE]

that make the material a "booze" item, I found a way finally to make water drinkable in the above product line. But I want this to be last resort, cut off from all booze but water is needed baddly situation. And I don't want it to be a BOOZE subsitute for dwarves. Aka they still want booze, not barreled water.

[Tierre]

Ok i think chainmail layer change was so that dwarfes finally wear it beneath breastplate:) Then you can use armor items and they should count as clothing. The only problem is your embark dwarfes will be naked without clothes. But if you but some armor for them at embark they should put it on and be satisfied with this.
