Don't have an access to headers to check but there might be enum attributes (e.g. how tile types have more info in their enum) for item types. If that is not the case then you could try (a bit ugly?) safe call variant to e.g. build the list or just check if the field exists.

Code: [Select]

local ret,err = pcall(function() return item.subtype end)
if i remember the syntax correctly.

[Putnam]

item:getSubtype() (returns -1 if no subtype, returns other number if it has) works too.

Could someone make something to change the effects of a biome?

Conveyor belts: Single tile buildings which when receiving power move items in a specific direction. Items sat on them should be automatically forbidden, once moved off a conveyor belt they should be unforbidden.

Mostly this is something I'd like because I use vertical shafts to drop items from the surface and they keep hitting the haulers at the bottom.

How about a salt extractor? A reaction that uses saltwater buckets and charcoal and outputs salt powder bags. If such a workshop exists it could also grind rock salt into salt bags too.

Can't this be done in-game, especially if you're willing to use power?

Have a one-stop route that pushes the minecart down the shaft and onto a roller. The minecart rolls forwards, past a lowest-friction track stop that dumps the cart's items, and onto a stockpile that accepts minecarts. Because the minecart doesn't need to be hauled to a stockpile, it's immediately ready to go back onto its stop.

It would need to be hauled back up to the top of the shaft right?

Floor hatch and pressure plate? Hauler gets close to drop-zone, walks over plate, closes hatch, nothing can hit him, items pile up on the hatch one z-level above, hauler takes item from ground, walks away, steps on plate again, opens hatch, next batch of dropped items lands on the floor, ready to be taken by the next hauler.

This is what I figure I'll have to do along with limiting it to one hauler at a time, would still like to see conveyor buildings, though.

Masterwork DF - Gnome Fortress has powered conveyor belts, thanks to IndigoFenix. The race is still in developement, but you can play it.

Make a plugins for Workflow to be able to craft set of equipements/cloths ?
I'm asking this because at the moment I've to enable one by one each piece of equipement that I wish to craft on the workshop.

Nice! I will have to check it out.

A script that would trigger only when a certain square is walked across.

I was thinking impulse elevator. I made a little test setup -- the elevator covers a 3x3 area, and the minecart drops down the shaft in the middle of the elevator and slams onto the roller.

I've been avoiding using impulse ramps on my more serious forts, but I could still use rollers to get the carts back to the top.
