If they vaporize they would never hit a target... and yes, they are like the broken arrow thingies. Some reports I got even mentioned that they are collected in stored in a food stockpile (?)

Very random this is...

If the specific heat is non-negligible, it'll take a few ticks for them to vaporize, as the attack will spawn solid. That's how I do it with my pogeymans, works fine for me.

You want an ore of the metal in veins, not the metal itself. You can't really use boulders for making metal stuff.

I knew I forgot something..

Anything else I should be aware of?

edit: By the way.. what is the color scheme of DF?
As I would want a different color for this metal.

EDIT: Also, what would be a good method for having killable trees?

[Paramatter]

Is SELECT_CASTE necessary for anything other than if you want to add something to one or all of the castes after they have been established?  Are there, for instance, tokens that only work with SELECT_CASTE rather than just adding the tokens to the castes while establishing them?

[Putnam]

Nope.

Sorry if this seems a silly question, but the search function did not help much.

My goblins and elves arrive with "small" armor items, unuseable by dwarves. This is more or less like intended. I just wanted to know what exactly causes this (since the bodysize is not different) and if there are also "large" versions. Mostly I just want to know what attributes are causing this.

[Old Greg]

I don't know what causes it, but I know humans use "large" versions.

Interesting, body size is usually the main contributor to this.

[Meph]

I thought so as well, but gave my elves [BODY_SIZE:12:0:60000], carbon copy of the dwarven size. Still, "small" elven stuff in caravans. Makes them rather useless.

[Putnam]

goblins usually come with dwarf-sized armor/clothes...

Humans always come with large, though.

Total newbie when it comes to modding DF, so please excuse the dumb question.

I would like to mod the requirements for cage, so that a wooden cage needs 12 wood and a metal one 5 metals. I have launched a search on every txt file of DF with the word CAGE, and aside from references in the languages files, I have nothing meaningful.

So, where is the cost of a CAGE, please?

[Putnam]

Nowhere.

[vorpal+5]

But then, a metal bin needs 3 metal bar. There must be a place where it is indicated, right? I don't get what you say, you mean it is hardcoded?

[Ultimuh]

I want to bve absolutely sure there is nothing wrong with this..
So.. any hints of what could be wrong or missing?

edit: Also, would I need a reaction for any speciffic race to use this metal?
If so, please show me how I should proceed making it.
