Oh no I just had a terrible terrible thought.

Vampire Bee Keeper =

And then neotemplar was bees.
Okay I'm DEFINITELY incorporating that joke if you survive to my rule.

Would it even be possible to add the wicker stuff without a regen though?

I kind of like the idea of multiple wood blocks per log or multiple bricks per clay. That's a bit more making things easier than straight flavour though, so I'll see what other people say.

I tend to be pretty conservative about modding my own games because I feel like it doesn't take much to make stuff feel like "cheating"... So if I add anything on my turn it'll be pretty minor and cosmetic. I was thinking maybe a new dye colour, but again I'm not sure that'd be possible without regen. Maybe if it was added to an existing plant?

Shouldn't be hard to make a reaction that takes a plant and makes it into a block made out of that plant. We could increase the output of wood blocks but we'd have to do it at the craftsdwarfs workshop.

We should construct a fortress for our dwarfs to flee to when times get tough. Give it ample supplies to last for a year or two, a courtyard to grow trees, and an extensive hospital.

[mebuysword]

what if for the wicker blocks we added them as a product of milling wheat? Or would that require world gen?

[Nerjin]

As long as we're modding wooden blocks, can we mod them to be "Wooden Planks"?

You can re-name a reaction to "Make wooden planks" but they'll still be called "<insert wood name here> blocks" by the game

Unless they weren't made out of wood. We could create an inorganic material with the data from wood with BLOCK_NAME:wooden planks

Or this, although I've never tried it before

If you want to make exotic plants you can just temporarily mod hens to lay their seeds and then immediately change them back to laying eggs.

My recent experiments in modding have led me to believe it's not possible to add new materials to an existing save. I tried adding a new stone, and even when it was literally copy-pasted from an existing stone with the name changed (so everything should have worked) the game produced "magma" instead.

I don't know how that works for things like plants and animal materials though. Apparently it worked for the bacon mod, but I'm not sure how.  :/

I only had to deal with MATERIAL_TEMPLATE and B_DETAIL_PLAN fiddling with INORGANIC may be a different ballgame.
I've had success incorporating it by altering the existing data for porcelain which is another material the fortress will probably never see.

Wicker, blocks... that sounds pretty useful, if a little Sanity warping once we Start making constructions. I have been using masterwork for awhile, but have never noticed them, how are they made? Can we use our soon to be plentiful fields of wheat?

In masterwork you bundle wheat bladeweed or longland grass into wicker at the thatchery then make it into furniture, crafts, or blocks you can build with.

Haven't heard from you in a while paintbrush when can we expect an update?

[Paintbrushturkey]

still trying to work out how to survive certain events..... we also got a caravan with the ambush :-S update should be incomming soon
