How did you do that? And doesn't it make it kind of easy?

I was lazy, and wanted pherium to be made with therium, much like how steel is made. Thing is, therium is very dense, and since I was too lazy to figure out which of the desnity-ish tags was related to density only, I gave therium an inanely high density and molar mass. I then, in continued laziness, gave pherium an inanely low density and molar mass.

So now, 1 bar therium + 3 bars iron = OVER 9000 BARS PHERIUM

But I digress. So far, my fortress is a good 50% legendary dwarves, legendary being a dwarf with at least 1 skill to that level. Although that's not impressive when you only have 17 dwarves.

[Gutanoth]

seriously, how many bars of pherium do you get from that reaction?

I didn't bother counting. I did set it on repeat for a bit for the lols, though...

Shouldn't have. It clogged my stockpiles something awful.

[Gearheart]

Are you sure you didn't accidentily add an extra few zeroes on the reaction product token?

[Gutanoth]

actually that would make more sense. from a game mechanics and physics p.o.v.

mechanics: what the ores smelt into is dictated by

[METAL_ORE:x:y]
x being the metal
y being the percent chance.
ores can have this multiple times in their entry, so e.g galenas ore entry

[METAL_ORE:LEAD:100]
[METAL_ORE:SILVER:50]

in order to get multiple reults from an ore, like bitumous coal, you have to edit the smelting reactions
as seen here    v that shows the amount of the bars produced.
[PRODUCT:100:3:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:COAL:COKE][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]

from a less direct approach, and by that I mean actual physics,a 10cm³ of aluminium and another of gold would take the same space up, but the aluminium is lighter, and so is less dense. therefore the more bars that are less dense from greater ore density wouldnt make sense unless your smelters were tuning it into some sponge/aerogel type substance.   

[TherosPherae]

sponge/aerogel type substance.

Which is basically what it is, what with its molar mass of 1.

Yeah, I was THAT lazy. But I'll double-check my raws and post them in the Modding forum so they can glitch-check them too.

Edit: Yeah, the raws I made state that 1 bar therium + 2 bars iron should equal 2 bars pherium. Instead, I actually get a ton.

Or maybe my furnace operator was just working at warpspeed.... More testing is necessary.

[Gutanoth]

At first I thought

But that makes no f**king sense!

because it's simply not possible.

Then I remember who and where I am, and a pleasant serenity washes over me. And by that i mean i get covered with cat blood. To tread all over the forums

[Gearheart]

Yeah, it's probably a good idea to post the raws to see just what the heck you've done there.

cat blood wheee!
alright I'll not spam any more

I have constructed a pure-gold trade depot with two statues outside.
The total wealth amount? Approx. 5000 dorf bucks

the amount the human merchant's jaw drops: priceless.

[Gearheart]

Mediocre.

Build it out of adamantine and demon soap. Then encrust it with spikes of slade.

Then use it to melt elves.

I have finished my aqueduct of death. I mentioned in the facepalm thread some of the difficulties I had in building it but it's finally done.

It's 3 z levels high and drops huge volumes of water down a shaft that runs through the center of my fortress. The inner shaft is lined with vertical bars for that feel-good misty morning. It allows my dwarves to watch a beautiful constant waterfall dropping from the sky with the occasional goblin mixed in.

Yes, I added a pit to drop goblins into the aqueduct. For FPS reasons I keep it off most of the time so they mill around looking helpless until I throw the lever. Then, they get carried over, fall to the bottom (a big cistern draining off the map) and, if they break their legs, drown. If they don't break their legs they usually survive. Currently got about 3 of them chilling around near the edge of the map, nearly drowning. Think I'll leave them there for a few years.

Eventually I plan to train up a few war dogs and drop them in. For now I'll just watch.

Edit: typos

[Gutanoth]

Oooh! a large amount of water which will get everywhere? perfect! *jumps into the aquifer*

-Urist McGutanoth cancels spam:drowning-

In all likelyhood that's probably going to happen. fortress have that general luck.

Guess who just went fey.
