Unless... (Drumroll)

AN INORGANIC CALLED WOOD!

Grown pine, grown highwood, and grown featherwood. Those'll be the elves currencies.

Problem: Will they have to have a way to make the grown woods somehow, or will they just magically have them in their pouches in adventure mode?

Questions about [MATERIAL_FORCE_MULTIPLIER] (MFM).

1. The wiki (and token) suggest that it changes the force of a particular material when applied to that creature. But the work the Urist Da Vinci has done, and from what I have seen, force isn't important, but momentum is. So does anyone know if the MFM is just a straight multiplier to the momentum of an attack?

2. Do multiple MFM stack? That is to say if I use [MFM:NONE:NONE:1:100] followed by [MFM:INORGANIC:SILVER:100:1] would all material except silver have a .01 multiplier, and silver have a 1 multiplier?

Force is the derivative of momentum with respect to time. It's basically a straight multiplier.

Yes, but the actual delivery of an attack has a dt of 0, therefore the force of all blows is basically infinite as F = dp/dt. I suppose we could include the preparation and recovery times in to the calculation as the place holder for dt. It wouldn't give us a real force, but it would give us a DF force.

I'd just assume attacks take place over the course of one "time". Momentum, being the integral of force with respect to time, will thus be correlated exactly with force.

So yeah, basically just a momentum multiplier.

How about... elven currencies being hard clumps of resin, gently extracted from trees. Evergreen resin cheapest, featherwood resin priciest, redwood resin in the middle.
(resins being used in elven armorcrafting and everyday item crafting)

Or amber.
Man elves are really double standard bastard, massively use wood but can't tolerate other race to use any.

They use wood in a Kosher manner that doesn't harm the trees... and they do not trust others to do so.  It used to be that crafts made from elf-sourced logs still insulted the elven traders.  Now that items can have a "grown" attribute, I'm not sure if a mug made from a "grown pine log" turns into a "grown pine mug" that elves will buy or just a "pine mug" that give elves a hissy fit.

(I don't make wooden crafts anyway, which is why I never found out one way or the other.)

Will they magically have the money in their pouches, or will I have to give them a reaction to get the materials?

magic
Civs magically get anything that they have a reaction to produce, even if they don't have the reagents.  Coin production is hardcoded into the forge, which means the reaction is available to anyone.  Not sure if the game checks that the civ has access to forges, though.

Well yeah, but even if I don't give them the reaction, will they have it because of [CURRENCY:GABBRO:5] alone? If not, I can just work on a reaction for it.

Does anyone know if it's possible to spawn creatures from thin air?

Also, is venom injection in the game yet?

Venom injection has been around for a long time. And I'm pretty sure using the vampire infection example you could make a creature turn into another on injection.
