It's just adding a fake inorganic material sorted into those things with a name like ====MAGMA-SAFE====

[samanato]

They should also have the [SPECIAL] tag, which Masterwork does.  Since .40.06 they never show up in dwarf preference lists.

Well, ok this is kind of easy.
But how do i sort the real minerals under these stubs? They are all placed in different inorganic_stone_ files, and their order in raw files doesn't seem to correlate with their order on stone and trading tabs.

Do i have to move all stones into single file, say, inorganic_stone_all.txt or something?

I want a reaction to produce a philosophers stone, that is used up in other alchemy reaction.
How do I define a stone type for it that does not appear ingame unless crafted.
I am aware that traders will bring it, probably nothing that can be done about this, am I right? However I don't want that it spawns as a layer or vein stone in the map.

Just don't include any environment tags for the stone and it won't spawn anywhere in the ground.  If you add a [SPECIAL] tag, it also won't show up in anyone's preferences.

Now, if the civ has access to a reaction that produces Philosopher Stones, then they'll probably show up in caravans. [...]

Ah that's nice to know. Actually I wouldn't mind if someone liked the stone "for it's perfection", however I WOULD mind if a noble demanded his furniture made of this stuff. So it's definitely good to know I can shut this down with the special tag.

[...]  Annoyingly, you might even see crafts made from Philosopher Stone material.

Well that's annoying. Is there any workaround to that?
Create an intermediate stone that instantly melts and leaves back the philosophers stone? Anything (non DF-Hack related)?

I think they made it so that the {SPECIAL} tag now makes things non-liked, caravanned... try adding it to your philosopher stone material.

the order they go in is  .... alphabetic file name... position in file

That's what I actually do.  That might help to sort all magma-safe stones and the like together, since order doesn't appear to impact how layers and clusters are put together.

Their order in raw files correlates perfectly, AFAIK.

Anyone know if it's possible to make trees that work like the old ones, being only a single tile in a single z-level? Trying to make a small plant that can be used a source of wood.

[scamtank]

Trees do start out like that before they gain girth. Have you tried capping their height and width to 1?

[samanato]

Anyone know if it's possible to make trees that work like the old ones, being only a single tile in a single z-level? Trying to make a small plant that can be used a source of wood.

Tree trunks never seem to be lower than 3 z-levels when fully grown.  The best I can think of is:

Code: [Select]

[TRUNK_PERIOD:10]
[HEAVY_BRANCH_DENSITY:0]
[BRANCH_DENSITY:50]
[MAX_TRUNK_HEIGHT:1]
[HEAVY_BRANCH_RADIUS:0]
[BRANCH_RADIUS:2]
[TRUNK_BRANCHING:0]
[MAX_TRUNK_DIAMETER:1]
[TRUNK_WIDTH_PERIOD:200]
This would give a straight trunk of the shortest dimensions (3 z-levels) with no heavy branches, which gives about 3-or-so logs of wood.  I can't make them any smaller than that.

Guess I'd have to make a workaround using the materials harvested from a bush being used in a reaction that outputs wood. Inefficient as hell.

I'm trying to make a reaction that'd take leaves (the kind processed to a bag from a plant) and make bone items out of them.
Actually, I'm not trying, I'm currently at the phase where I evaluate what I want to do and ask questions about it. So...

   [SKILL:BONECARVE]

What I am missing is how to assign a proper material to it, and how to restrict it to the one single plant whose leaves I've decided look like bones. If I give the leaves the material properties of bone, the bolts will still be leaf-based bolts and so won't be stockpiled properly - how do I make them be stockpiled properly?
I'm pretty sure I can't use any of the hardcoded reactions, because the bone carving ones take corpse parts and I can't make the leaves be corpse parts... or can I?
Also, should I just use a reaction class token to restrict the reaction by putting it on the leaves of the plant in the plant definition?

Is there a way of wrapping up reactions in a menu, or is that hardcoded? I'm considering only making a bolts reaction to avoid clutter, but there are other uses for bone...
...actually, how would I even write a decorating reaction?

There is a [BONE] tag you could put into the material which might make it stockpile correctly.  But as for limiting which leaves can be used, a reaction class is probably the way to go.

You can change the reactions in a save, so long as the reaction names remain the same.  Still requires hopping in and out of a DF session, but at least it's not re-genning a world.
