I am trying to create a reaction to crush stone into sand, it seems to be coming along nicely but I want there to be a small chance to get a random ore from the reaction.
My question is, how do add in random ores, I cant seem to find the correct line to create a random ore

[smakemupagus]

You can't.  You can have a less than 100 percent chance to produce a *specific* ore, and you can have multiple products like that to give a total effect which is something like randomness.

could i use reaction class? or is that not how it works?

[smakemupagus]

No, not that i know of. 

[Manzeenan]

Flux stones have [REACTION_CLASS:FLUX] on them and it is used as a limiter in reactions, all flux stones have the tag [REACTION_CLASS:FLUX] on them and the wiki does not specify that reaction class has a hardcoded list of reaction class stuff it just says [REACTION_CLASS:whatever] which is a little confusng, maybe I'm just missing something.

Exactly.  It is used for reagents, not products.

ahh oh well guess I'll work through the modding process tomorrow, thanks man, I guess that is the best way to go. can there be values smaller than 1%?

[Putnam]

No.

I'm thinking of adding a 33% chance to receive rock crystal SiliconDioxide seems like it would be very prevalent in obsidian what are your guy's thoughts?
EDIT:would this

Code: [Select]

[PRODUCT:33:1:ROUGH:INORGANIC:CRYSTAL_ROCK] be right?

[Putnam]

ROUGH:NONE

There will never be less than 6 colons in a PRODUCT line.

IMO it doesn't make a ton of sense.  Obsidian is largely (~70%) glassy SiO2, indeed, but crushing it won't purify it and turn it into a gemstone-quality crystal any more than grinding up a pencil will make diamonds.  But, dwarven rock magic, so whatever makes you happy

Yes this point is valid. My train of thought was finding gems early in the crushing process embedded in the obsidian. In case you were curious.

Okay thanks.

The process might be more work than just embarking with sand but this is really convenient, I find  tha I never use crystal glass because none of my embarks have it. I could have used a millstone but the idea of dwarves using merely their biceps at a press seemed cooler.
