is there a simple way to grow trees on farm plots (or even just plain old wood)?  Or does it have to be ran through a workshop (like in mwmod)

[Putnam]

If Masterwork has a workaround, there's a pretty good chance it has to be done that way. Unless I say it doesn't :V

[Meph]

or are you saying I need to go through my creatures and make sure there using the muscle templates and such that point to :animal: ?

is there a simple way to grow trees on farm plots (or even just plain old wood)?

Yes to the first, No to the second.

civforge has grime, a byproduct of the quintain...  it's counted as a fat/food that has no use.

Mephestereas said the reason it's produced is the quintain has to produce something to allow for skills to be trained.

I tried setting a boiling point as per his instruction, but it destroys the quintain.  So I set grime to rot.

However, I have to ensure all my food stockpiles don't take grime, and create one food stockpile that does...  Is there a way to get the workshop to produce something that doesn't actually produce anything so my dwarf's can still train at the quintain?

[Meph]

produce boiling rocks that boil away harmlessly. it done in masterwork as well, see knowledge_stone.

[thistleknot]

here's knowledge_stone

but I don't see any relevant token's that specify harmless boiling

that still destroyed the building

I saw a message in dfhack that was in red about building being lost, I'll update as soon as I see it again

Forgetting job 88570 (CustomReaction): holder building lost.

[Putnam]

Oh, yeah. That's a property of the building. It needs to be fire safe.

[thistleknot]

thanks.  I was being cheap about it and using wood shields and wood training weapons...

Is there a way to get it to "boil" when it hits sunlight?

nm... it's cleanable

If you defined a profession to do a reaction, then the items would have quality modifiers that are dependent on the skills of the worker.

If you haven't defined a profession, then all items would be of base quality, due to the fact that you are using no skill.

so if the reaction has [skill:bonecarve] in it's definition, then any items created would have quality that depends on the worker's bonecarving skill, yes?

Yes. Also, the worker must have bonecarving activated in its jobs in order to produce the items. If you define no profession, any available worker will use the workshop to produce what it needs.


Does anyone know if it's possible to make a long-ranged explosion spell? So far, the only hack I've got in mind is to make the target creature learn an undirected dust ability and make the source throw a fireball at the same time, which isn't good for adventure mode.

[Deon]

Try Putnam's Projectile Expansion.

[Trapezohedron]

Oh. Of course. There's always that, I suppose

Does Projectile Expansion include interactions, or does it only involve items?

[Putnam]

If I could get interactions to apply scripts, I'd be a happy man.

But I can't AFAIK, so projectiles only. You could use some CE_CAN_DO_INTERACTION magic to emulate the effect, though.
