I wish to know if, and how, i would go about using DFHack to change a quartzite floor over my large dining room/meeting area/zoo to crystal glass. Is there a tool in DFHack that will allow me to do this? If so, what tool and how. I attempted to work through tiletypes, but its fairly confusing to me. Thanks Urists

Construction material isn't actually stored within the tile itself - it's stored in a separate data structure elsewhere (which gets stored in a vector, sorted by x/y/z coordinates and fetched via binary search). There is no tool in DFHack for changing the material of a construction, though it should be possible to write a Lua script to do it.

Of course, even if you change constructions into some other material, they will still yield the original item type when you deconstruct them (unless you set a special flag which makes it create the building item from scratch instead of retrieving it from hyperspace)...

Thank you again Quietust.
