That does make sense, I suppose.  The things aren't supposed to be even as large as I made them, but since size matters so much and is otherwise invisible in game just upping it is probably a perfectly acceptable way to handle this.

It was just kind of odd that they died so easily to run of the mill human sized things in world gen, despite the damage reduction, an iron hardness magical shield and natural combat skills.

Considering how many nonmaterial FBs I've seen one shotted by a single soldier, I suppose it shouldn't be so shocking, especially if that stuff isn't taken into account in worldgen.

is their any way to make it so they don't use 750 coins to buy 20$ worth of shotgun shells? will i have to make coins come in many stacks of 5?

[smakemupagus]

since coins are minted in stacks of 500 at the forge, it's not terribly convenient to have prices lower than 500 coins.  But yes, you can make some custom reaction that creates products of smaller stacks of coins.

[WillowLuman]

Also, you can specify the denominations and materials of coins in the entity raws.

if i'm modding crops and decide i want to change the growth period, what tags do i look for and can this be achieved post world gen?

[Putnam]

if i'm modding crops and decide i want to change the growth period, what tags do i look for and can this be achieved post world gen?

[GROWDUR:(ticks/10)], yes.

[GROWDUR:(ticks/10)], yes.

To add a little something [GROWDUR:1008] = 1 season to grow. You should be able to extrapolate everything else you need from that data point.

Would "at_peace_with_wildlife" help dwarves not to freak out about animals wandering close ? Or any other solution for this ? (I can only think of making them blind, or adding nofear, which would affect all creatures as far as I know)

That will make them ignore peaceful animals and most ordinarily hostile ones (like wolves) and vice-versa. Essentially, any animal that an Elf Adventurer can walk past will be subject to this.

It may also break hunters however as I don't think they will hunt anything they are 'at peace' with.

I've defined custom items which are toys called bars. I have one for each weapons grade material, and one that is simply called 'bar'.

I've successfully created a reaction to produce one using ANY weapon as a reagent, but I'm wanting to specifically have a material requirement for each reaction.

For extra points I'd really like to be able to deduce from the item's size a specific number of bars, but I have no idea how to even look up such information if this is possible. =/

My current working reaction to produce the items themselves from weapons is as follows:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:SMELTTOYBAR]
[NAME:Melt weapon into copper bar]
[REAGENT:A:1:WEAPON:NONE:REACTION_CLASS:COPPER]
[PRODUCT:100:1:TOY:ITEM_TOY_BAR_AVE:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NONE]
[ADVENTURE_MODE_ENABLED]

This produces, consuming 1 weapon, a single "bar", which has no material properties associated with it and weighs nothing. The main problem is that it doesn't correctly identify the item material to create a 'copper' bar, and the secondary problem (since this is for now a personal mod and I can adhere to my own rules if there's no workaround) is that it does not require the weapon to be copper.

Any insight?

Check other reactions to see the proper format.

The reagent token should be [REAGENT:name:amount:type:subtype:material type:material]
So for copper items you need [REAGENT:A:1:NONE:NONE:INORGANIC:COPPER].

The product follows the same logic, [PRODUCT:chance:amount:type:subtype:material type:material].
So for your situation it should be [PRODUCT:100:1:TOY:ITEM_TOY_COPPER_BAR_AVE:INORGANIC:COPPER]
Also product dimension is only feasible for bars, thread and cloth, don't use it with single items.
Since you already make it from copper, making it a copper "copper bar" makes no sense, and calling it bar will cause confusion with real bars, name it something like "ingot".


Also making everything for every metal type is a bad idea, you will end with tons of reactions.
Instead take material from reagent.

The ideal solution is

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:SMELT_METAL_ITEM_ADV]
[NAME:Melt metal item]
[REAGENT:A:1:NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE][REACTION_CLASS:METAL]
[PRODUCT:100:1:TOY:ITEM_TOY_INGOT:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NONE]
[ADVENTURE_MODE_ENABLED]

Now you just need to define that ingot toy, and also add [REACTION_CLASS:METAL] to your METAL_TEMPLATE in material_template_default.txt so it would take metal items only.

AHA! Now that I actually see it in front of me it makes perfect sense. I've been modifying my question as !!SCIENCE!! uncovered new truths for me but this covers everything! Thank you!

The 'INORGANIC' tag by its Wiki description did not strike me as the likely answer to my problem. So it turns out I was just overthinking it. The reaction class tag just needed to be in its own brackets. *facepalm*

Would this then mean that I could, with a single melt-down reaction, create ingots of ANY type of metal and then, with another similar forge reaction, create a sword out of ANY type of ingot? Hmmm...don't answer that, it's time for more !!SCIENCE!!. =D

Yes. I'm being helpful and you can't stop me!

For reference, these are reactions from Genesis:

Code: [Select]

[SKILL:CONCENTRATION]

Note that I use actual bars, and it's not the best idea because there's a problem with a requirement of amount+1 for bars, so I will probably switch the system to ingots too.

So, still working on that custom race... they have "red line" hostility, generated through trading in their [INTELLIGENT] tag for [CAN_LEARN].  Their insta-boiling item corpse works about as intended, so when killed the main bit vanishes in a short-lived cloud.

What's not working is their [SPECIALATTACK_SUCK_BLOOD].  I added that tag to a basic strike, which they do attempt to perform.  However, it seems incapable of actually hitting!  the attack "passes right through" harmlessly.  In arena testing, they were occassionally able to draw blood by using an attack that "Gouges" rather than the altered punch ("Touches"), but failed miserably at draining the life from dwarves with their 'mere' touch.

Is the problem with their material (basically a non-hot version of the flame template), causing attacks to pass through their enemies, or is it attempting to put blood-sucking on an attack that doesn't penetrate that's the issue?  Something stranger?
