Here is where to ask questions about various item modding and tokens.
(Further info/edits pending...)

NOTE: I didn't see one, and knowing I am likely going to ask a lot of questions about it, and so are others, i decided to make this one thread, instead of a numerically larger number of smaller threads.

Well, the first post in 7 years :-)

Hi all!
A boulder is a surface feature that spaws randomly. Its material is based on the underlying stonelayers.
I couldn't find raws for it. same for driftwood, pebbles, or seafoam.

Can I define my own 'boulder'? Lets say i want to spawn 'logs' randomly in the forest. or cavern boulders. Or I want my boulders made out of extrateresstial chrystal. Thinks like that?

[joostheger]

Another question.
if an (ice made) item melts, but it lays on the ground, does it leaves a puddle?

I would think it would leave a puddle, it would then evaporate or someone will "clean" it up

[Eric Blank]

If it's just an item, it will melt into a glob/misc liquid item that can only be cleaned up/washed away by rain. If it's a map tile like an ice layer or ice wall you'll get a usable water puddle.

I made a custom range weapon that is a cross bow
The dwarfs equip it fine but it's available in every workshop that makes cross bows
is there a way to build custom range weapon only in custom work shop??

After some deep diving on graphics I'm going to say no to this as all I'm seeing about boulders in this context are graphical only in nature

I think the most you can do is define a custom organic Boulder and have it display its own custom color to designate that substrate below that Boulder

I think this is a hard coded feature for ranged weapons. The only way to get around it is to remove the entity token for it, make a custom reaction to make your weapon and add the reaction to the entity. They won't show up in world gen this way though

I'll try this, but I think removing it from entity will make it not equipable? Anymore?

Ok got it all working quite nicely now, the ammo problem was a weird bug involving squads and hunters use of ammo stockpiles

Still not sure why the graphic intermittently displays but I'm sure there's probably a missing graphic  reference or something

[Eric Blank]

creatures holding weapons only show them for certain materials, like the vanilla materials. you'll have to make and link graphical icons for each material you want it to be made out of.

I've done this and the weapon works and displays and is equippable

I think my problem is there's a civ that it isn't it isn't referenced in the civ properly cause vanilla dwarfs are the only civ it's not displaying on

It would be listed as a foreign weapon

[Eric Blank]

You can still assign foreign weapons so that shouldn't be a problem.

You'll have to double check your files on the dwarves then, it's probably a typo somewhere.

Without replacing vanilla dwarfs completely is there a way to add graphics to them or do I have to replace them with my custom dwarf creature and new graphics?
