Hi, I'm trying to create a pump out of metal, however it states that I require metal logs to do so. I've looked for a while, and seen no way to create metal logs. This isn't exactly a serious problem, as the wiki says wood can be used, even for magma pumping, but I'd rather metal. Anyone know how to create metal logs, or know what form the metal must be in to be used, if possible?

You should really be forging them at a forge instead of constructing them from the job menu.

And I think you would need blocks, not logs. Logs are wood. Metal logs do not exist.

A pump requires:

A mechanism (stone)
An axle (wood, metal)(also referred to as a "pipe section")
A block (wood, metal, stone)
An enormous corkscrew (wood, metal)

[Cajoes]

Mechanisms are not a necessity for a (Archimedes) screw pump.

A power source is however.

[Vaiolis]

Ah okay, thanks. And yes, I was forging them, not using the job menu

If you want to create metal logs you can use this reaction.

code:

[REACTION:ADAMANTINE_LOGS]
[NAME:make adamantine logs]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:3:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:ADAMANTINE]
[PRODUCT:100:1:LOGS:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:ADAMANTINE]
[FUEL]<<optional>> 

This also allows you to create the metal logs needed to create adamatine catapult parts.

P.S. I don't know if this reaction can be changed to work with other metals. As far as I know it will only work with metals with the [ANY_USE] tag, and without modding the only metal with that tag is adamantine.

oO

Lets make that

tube or pipe (wood/metal/glass)
block (wood/metal/stone/glass)
corkscrew (wood/metal/glass)

No mechanism needed and best of all: glass pumps are magma proof

[Kagus]

Ah, forgot about glass.  And I could've sworn I saw mechanisms on that list...  

But it's been a long time sinc eI built a pump, so I wouldn't really know.

Are you sure its LOGS:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:ADAMANTINE? I tried using that, and just in case i tried LOG:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:ADAMANTINE as well, but doing either one of them crashes the game, is it possible to make metal logs, even with editing the raws/reactions/etc.?
