I try to make a workable Silkworm farm (akin to Bee Farming) but I'm kinda stuck... It seems the true nature of TOKEN are still a big mystery for me...

First:
How we control the 'spawn rate' of 'natural' silk colony? Cause when I try it, I'm only seeing bee colony or ant colony here and there... Maybe because I'm kinda screw up the Biome Tag... ANY_FOREST... Too little open space??? Or can we just make them [COMMON_DOMESTIC] instead, so the dorf can take them when embark and make even those puny humans can make their own silk...

Second:
Is this code right, cause I seem can't make it work... (I intend to Press the Hive to make Silk, like the bee Raw)

Code: [Select]

[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:INORGANIC:SILK_TEMPLATE]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:silkworm silk]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:LIQUID:melted silkworm silk]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:GAS:boiling silkworm silk]
[STATE_COLOR:ALL:WHITE]
[DISPLAY_COLOR:0:0:0]
[MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:HONEYCOMB_PRESS_MAT:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:SILK]then

Code: [Select]

[HIVE_PRODUCT:1:2000:TOOL:ITEM_TOOL_HONEYCOMB:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:SILK]all the other raw only estethically tweaked from bee raw... I only change the result...
Is this raw right or do I need to change the HONEYCOMB_PRESS_MAT to INORGANIC? Or I don't even need to make 'press' the hive reaction via other 'more worm friendly' reaction?
Too bad I can't seem to make the silkworm farming requiring the worm to eat Mulberry leaves (or make it as Reagent)...

I humbly give much gratitude to any rawmancer that can help me fix my broken raw...

You want SILK instead of INORGANIC in your silk material.

Oooooo... I see...

[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:INORGANIC:SILK_TEMPLATE]

into

[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:SILK:SILK_TEMPLATE]

Thanks... I'll try it rightaway...

Yes. That middle part is an identifier, and it has to match up with every time you try to call it (I.E LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:SILK)

Yes. That middle part is an identifier, and it has to match up with every time you try to call it (I.E LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:SILK)

Ah... I see... So everytime a line show:

[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:AAA:AAA_TEMPLATE]
AAA refer to it being GNEISS, SILK, GOLD, etc... like that?
and AAA_Template refer to the things in material_template.txt?

[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:AAA:SKIN_TEMPLATE]
would create a new material within the creature/plant called AAA with the properties of SKIN (which could be tanned into a LEATHER material in the creature/plant)

so reactions or other things would use AAA at the target

PRODUCT:100:1:PLANT:NONE:CREATURE_MAT:SILK_WORM:AAA] --- would make a plant made from AAA material in the creature
