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?

Furniture items (including cages and bins) are hard-coded.

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

It's not clear what you are trying to do.  If you want to add a new metal to the game, you can do it one of two ways.  IF you want a metal that can be made from mixing or processing some existing raw materials (like how steel or bronze is make) you would create the metal in the inorganic raws, and then add reactions to make that metal from the raw materials.  You'll need to add the reaction to each entity which you want to be able to make that metal.  Alternately, to make a metal that can be smelted directly from an ore, you'll need to create two new materials:  the metal, and the ore which it is smelted from, and then add METAL_ORE:whatever to the ore definition.

Yes, these items are hardcoded, rather than in the raws, although if they were the [MATERIAL_SIZE:##] token would control this.  You could make a custom reaction that produced a cage and required whatever items you wanted, but I don't believe there is an easy way to disable the default cage-making reaction.

To make magma-proof, set melting/boiling temperature higher than 12000. To make magma proof, set magma to be brewable.

Custom transformations got you down?

This is what I wanted to do, make a metal that could be mined and smelted into bars.
Now what raws should I cange to make this ore?

First, you need to make a new stone.  You can look at the examples in inorganic_stone_mineral to see how the existing ones are defined.  Something like this:

Code: [Select]
[INORGANIC:TEST_METAL_ORE]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:STONE_TEMPLATE]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:test metal ore]
[DISPLAY_COLOR:6:7:1]
[TILE:156]
[ENVIRONMENT:SEDIMENTARY:VEIN:100]
[ITEM_SYMBOL:'*']
[METAL_ORE:TEST_METAL:100]
[IS_STONE]

You can add that to inorganic_stone_mineral, or make a new inorganic file just for your ore.

Then, you can create the metal [INORGANIC:TEST_METAL], or whatever you want to call it, with the appropriate material properties.  Note that you do not add ENVIRONMENT or METAL_ORE to the metal, those go on the ore material instead.

Ah, thank you for clearing this up.

Does anyone know how [MISCHIEVOUS] works with a creature that's a pet/part of your civ? If they're "friendly," will they still muck up your levers?

Are these modifications correct?

First are three inorganic materials:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Next, the reaction to create inorganic:Deathbane

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Then the line [PERMITTED_REACTION:MAKE_DEATHBANE] is added to the mountain entity.

Three new reactions were also added

The intent of the first reaction is to revert dwarves back from vampire status.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The intent of the second reaction is to prevent corpses from being raised
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This one is a material emission with syndrome attached
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Next are creatures, two creatures that are supposed to act as turrets

The first one is also supposed to reduce the temperature around it.

The next creature is an intelligent dog caste called Foo dog

Problems with first creature:

Code: [Select]
     [TISSUE:STEEL]
         [TISSUE_NAME:silver:silver]
            [TISSUE_MATERIAL:INORGANIC:SILVER]
            [MUSCULAR]
            [FUNCTIONAL]
            [STRUCTURAL]
            [RELATIVE_THICKNESS:3]
            [CONNECTS]
            [TISSUE_SHAPE:LAYER]
      [TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:SILVER]
Should be

Code: [Select]
     IMPORTANT-->[TISSUE:SILVER]<--IMPORTANT
         [TISSUE_NAME:silver:silver]
            [TISSUE_MATERIAL:INORGANIC:SILVER]
            [MUSCULAR]
            [FUNCTIONAL]
            [STRUCTURAL]
            [RELATIVE_THICKNESS:3]
            [CONNECTS]
            [TISSUE_SHAPE:LAYER]
      [TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:SILVER]
Also, it's arctic, not artic :P

For the foo dog, 5000 is the max that attributes go, unless interactions are done to increase them. Also, why is the foo dog only able to learn combat skills?

If I changed this
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

to this
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
would it be okay, because while testing in the arena, I found out that using silver for tissue allows it to be severed easily.

The reason that I limited the Foo dog to combat skills is to prevent "foo dog weaponsmith", "foo dog farmer" or etc from occurring.

Tested the modifications in the arena. Not one of these reactions activated.

This was recorded in the error log

even though the same tags was used in arctic wind, here are the raws for both Guardian and Arctic Wind

What is the minimum clothes required for 34.06+ ?

I used to disallow races to use clothes in entity_default.txt,
I would usually disallow everything to reduce clutter and dwarves couldn't equip them anyway.

Now I obviously cannot do it like that.
Dwarves get bad thoughts for "no shoes", "no shirt" and "uncovered".

So I'm asking is it safe to disallow everything except shoes, shirt and trousers?
I'm about to experiment, but I'm asking first in the case someone alredy did some science on this,
and this combination backfires on me later.

The minimum required clothes for a dwarf is a covering for the feet, one for the lower body, and one for the upper body. Everything else could potentially be disabled.
