as I have somehow failed to do so so far, im PTW and will consider this mod next time i get around to playing DF again instead of reading the forums

[caddybear]

Keeping an eye on this as well. Always liked dragons.

Only option is to hope that other GEM_PREF civs have access to them. If not you make make a ENTITY that will always have them so you can trade for them.

How to make this trading civ.

Well you need the ENITY

and two reactions

[REACTION:UD1]
   [NAME:udmib]
   [BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
   [PRODUCT:100:1:SMALLGEM:NONE:INORGANIC:SUNSTONE]

[REACTION:UD2]
   [NAME:udmib2]
   [BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
   [PRODUCT:100:1:SMALLGEM:NONE:INORGANIC:MOONSTONE]

both of these are right from REGEN's corpse, and altered
and these in your trader entity:
[PERMITTED_REACTION:UD1]
[PERMITTED_REACTION:UD2]

also from REGEN

This lets the entity make them at will, so they will always have them for trade

I'll put that on the dwarven civilization.

Keeping an eye on this as well. Always liked dragons.

Now you can play as them!

Questions

How would you make a building only use magma-proof building materials?

Can [BUILD_MAT] be on more than one material?

And, why has no one commented on this:

OOOOO!  I wish my home civ had Sunstones!
OOOOO!  I wish my home civ had Moonstones!
OOOOO!  I wish my embark had Sunstones!
OOOOO!  I wish my embark had Moonstones!
So I could get some firebrand!

(I'm sorry, but it came to my mind, and therefore, had to be done.)

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

[FIRE_BUILD_SAFE]
[MAGMA_BUILD_SAFE]
found here

And I assume BUILD_MAT be more then 1 item as in (can I use more?)
Yes
BUILD_ITEM:1.... 1 of the desired items are used
BUILD_ITEM:5... 5 of
BUILD_ITEM:3.... 3 of

Think of it as PRODUCTs or REAGENTS

EDIT:
I never commmented on it cause I don't know the Ref

EDIT2:
Question.
What is the difference between a dragon and a drake? (and I don't mean male duck)

By, can [BUILD_MAT] be on more than one material, I meant on more than one different [BUILD_ITEM] materials.

@Question:  In MTG (don't trust my answer completely), dragons are four legged like europeans, and drakes look like wyverns.

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

Build_mats = no
you would need another BUILD_ITEM with your other material.

Buuuuuut. if you mean an either/or kinda thing like "gold or silver statue" then you need a REACTION_CLASS on GOLD and SILVER materials

so placing [REACTION_CLASS:GS] (Gold Silver) on GOLD and SILVER in "inorganic_metals" then your building would use:

[BUILD_ITEM:1:STATUE:NONE:NONE:NONE][REACTION_CLASS:GS]
Which means it needs a statue made from anything labled GS which is GOLD or SILVER in this case

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

No, [BUILD_MAT] is listed after the [BUILD_ITEM:ect.] as its own tag.  I want to know if it is possible to put it after, on the same line as the [BUILD_ITEM:ect.] tag

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

VERSION 0.5 RELEASED!
New buildings!
Exile castes renamed!
Exiles now show up as enemies!
Firebrand!
Perfect Sunstones and Perfect Moonstones!
I forget what else I did!

Post any and every bug you find here that pertains to the mod.

EDIT: Bug-fix 0.5.1 out.

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

I'm still not following...
You mean something like this:
   [BUILD_ITEM:1:BUCKET:NONE:NONE:NONE][EMPTY][CAN_USE_ARTIFACT]
   [BUILD_ITEM:1:NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE][BUILDMAT][WORTHLESS_STONE_ONLY][CAN_USE_ARTIFACT]

The tags don't even have to be on the same line

   [BUILD_ITEM:1:BUCKET:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[EMPTY]
[CAN_USE_ARTIFACT]

   [BUILD_ITEM:1:NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[BUILDMAT]
[WORTHLESS_STONE_ONLY]
[CAN_USE_ARTIFACT]

They will grab any acceptable tag up until another [BUILD_ITEM] or [BUILDING]

[the_game_hunt]

Tomorrow I will try this (I have no time ), I'm excited about the mod 

[Vgray]

The Dwarves must have shared their brewing methods with the dragons.

[Ryusho]

Sorry I dragged it off topic, I was stupid didn't read the rest of the thread first >.< also I was cracking up laughing at the 'DONT MAKE ME DRAW A DRAGONA ND KOBOLD IN BED" line as well, but yes, Sorry, Ignore me @_@

DRAGONA?

ND?

Does ANYONE use spell-check anymore?!?

I edited my last reply with a better explaination to the workings.

and

[GEM_PREF] allows them to bring GEMs yes, but only if they have it in range of their civ. Maybe where you civ is they only can get rubies and sards, so your home civ and embark will only allow them to bring those cause that is all they have ready.

So if your home civ has no access you better hope where you embarked has natural Sunstones and Moonstones to dig up.

OOOOO!  I wish my home civ had Sunstones!
OOOOO!  I wish my home civ had Moonstones!
OOOOO!  I wish my embark had Sunstones!
OOOOO!  I wish my embark had Moonstones!
So I could get some firebrand!

(I'm sorry, but it came to my mind, and therefore, had to be done.)

I know spell check, But I type too fast sometimes, and forgot to use it this last time, 'this' has spellcheck? I had clicked -post- before I even noticed the error

[Vgray]

Huh. I just got a single tile of Adamantine on my mountain embark. Did you make it so that Adamantine would appear in veins?

Are you supposed to only be able to make alloys at the Dragonic smelter?

[slothen]

GET BACK ON TOPIC!  THIS IS NOT A KOBOLD THEAD!

Are you going to tell me what a dracon is?

I think it was explained?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So what is a dracon?  No one explained. 

It varies a lot as there are many interpretations, but look at my avatar.  That would be one example of a dracon.   In my experience it is a roughly human sized humanoid with dragon features.  Distinct from dragons by their size and humanoid shape.  And usually a species instead of being the result of a 'dragon X something else' pairing.  There have been more than a couple mods that include them, and at least two where they are the primary focus.

Ah, thanks, didn't see that explanation.

Personally a Dracon for "This Mod" can be whatever ZTG wants it to be.

I wholeheartedly agree.  I only asked because ZTG claimed they were a thing, and I'd never heard of them before, and neither has the first page of google.  I only mentioned it because I was convinced that "Dragonic Civilization" was a thread title typo, and I thought I'd do a public service by bringing it to someone's attention, but then I found out it wasn't a typo and dracons were a thing.  After all, Draconic is a word, meaning of or relating to dragons, while dragonic isn't really a word.  ZTG is of course entitled to name his mod whatever he chooses, however I can't possibly be the only one scratching my head.  That said, I'll stop nit-picking and let you get back to the hard work and fun of making another mod for the game we all love.  Cheers.

I want to play this so bad, but I keep forgetting, when I do I'll see if I can make a lets play, if my fraps will work. >.>
