Question, my inorganic STRAW material doesn't seem to be showing up in stockpiles (I checked block specifically). Is there something I need to do to the material template to determine where it's stockpiled?

IIRC, material templates won't show up within stockpiles, but inorganics, plants, and animals that use the materials will.

You could give the straw material [WOOD], but that may cause some strange issues, like having the material used to make furniture and other things.

Hmmmmm, I might pull the wood tag out then, Straw is sort've like wicker, and it's being produced at a pretty rediculous rate and clogging up querns.

Thanks!

EDIT: Okay, I thought I got this working, but apparently not!

It should be grabbing any flour (they all have the BREAD MAT reaction product on them), but it appears to not be grabbing anything. Does it need PLANT_MAT:NONE or something?

[smjjames]

Is it possible to have an attack inject magma into a creatures blood (or body)? Because that would be awesome for the avatar of armok thing.

[Putnam]

Replace LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:WHATEVER in the injection with INORGANIC:GABBRO. You can put anything there in place of gabbro, really, as long as it's a rock.

[smjjames]

I want it to be molten gabbro, not solid.

[Nahere]

So leave the LIQUID in the injection token. Like so:
[SPECIALATTACK_INJECT_EXTRACT:INORGANIC:GABBRO:LIQUID:100:100]

[smjjames]

What about the injection part? It's magma all right, but it just keeps splattering instead of being injected.

[scamtank]

Does the attack break the skin?

[smjjames]

Well no, it's a blunt attack (fists really). Although it doesn't ALWAYS puncture the skin.

Edit: Still though, it's pretty effective.

[BlackFlyme]

E: I was thinking the wrong thing.

Also, a stalk of rice straw had a quality modifier, which I found very amusing.

[Seriyu]

Yeah, the extra step was intentional, was a part of working on making farming a little less "plant and forget", the flour that comes out of the grains makes flour fine, the reaction just doesn't take it. If it worked for you in the mod, it's entirely possible that something somehow got changed when I split off the normal v3.0 into a "dev" version.

So yeah, if it worked for you, let me know and I can probably take it from there. Dunno what I changed, but it's simple enough to paste in the old reactions.

[BlackFlyme]

Ah, I thought you were accidentally trying to use the grains. My bad.

Though it does seem to work in the current version you have posted.

It produces a lot of bread though.

[Seriyu]

Yeah, there's definitely tweaking to be done with grains, they seem to be producing a lot of stuff in general.

But okay! Probably just broke something splitting it off. Thanks!

I'm trying to get a reaction to give experience, but only rarely produce a product. I've tried emulating the Masterwork prayer system of creating an inorganic "PRAYER" material that's temperature-set one degree above its own boiling point, but somehow in mine it creates magma in the workshops (shortly-thereafter nonexistent workshops) instead of vaporizing to nothing. Any ideas why, or suggestions on other ways to do this?

Thanks

[Seriyu]

To make a reaction that trains a skill and rarely produces a product is as simple as giving a reaction with a labor and a single product with a low appearance rate.

I'm not sure about the stone magma thing, but I haven't played with temperature a lot so I'm not entirely sure how it interacts entirely. It's possible the boulder melted into molten rock, then destroyed the workshop (which wasn't made of a material that could handle the heat the rock was set at). But I'm not sure!
