Hey guys. I'm working on a custom civ and had some questions about reactions and workshops.
First off, I don't want my civ to be able to do any metalsmithing or work with metal at a forge or anything. If I remove all the reactions for crafting bars and the weapon, armorsmithing jobs, etc, will my civ still be able to build forges, but not be able to use them and will they still want those workshops when they enter moods? I want to take all the workshops they won't use out of their building options, if possible.
Second, how do I create a reaction that just turns one (bone) material into another (improved bone) material? I wanted the civ to have a system where they have the bones "blessed" at a shrine, improving the material (essentially turning it into a custom material). I created the custom material I want it to change into, but I'm stuck with how to write the reaction without turning it into a "bar of bone."
I also originally wanted the race to not use clothing, but that doesn't seem to be possible without unhappy thoughts without making them not think or feel at all. Is it at least possible to only allow them to use custom clothing? The wiki says that anything not listed will be treated as common and the lowest rating is RARE. Is there a way to let them only make and wear specific, custom clothing and armor (they're about dog-sized so presumably no one else could wear their clothes so I'm not worried about that) and not normally use anything else? I'm fine with an oddball sometimes finding a small shirt somewhere that fits him as long as it isn't the norm. Is there also any way to only let them dye their clothing certain colors?
