What allows potash to be used as fertilizer? Is there a tag I can place on an item (guts) that allows its use as fertilizer or can this be accomplished in some other way?

Looks like hardcoded trickery on material name; no special tag on POTASH material, says the extracted raws
http://www.dfwk.ru/Hardcoded_materials.txt
Also no potash mention at http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Material_definition_token

I wonder if there is an unnamed flag that is set that can be found with DFHack. You wouldn't be able to add it to other materials via modding, but you could at least do it through hacking

Thanks. I want to avoid DF hack for this mod so I will just take out the fish guts unless someone has another idea for them.

Process them into potash via reaction(s)?

I thought about this but wasnt sure it would make sense. Looking into it more, I think it would be ok to make a reaction converting fish guts into potash.

Cremate any old rotten or unrotten body part into potashlike fertilizer?

My reactions output ash instead of potash.

How would I go about creating an interaction that simply buffs the users' strength for a short time?

I forget which one it is, but setting the numbers too high for strength either results in a roll-around (essentially setting your strength to something very low) or becoming TOO strong which causes you to lose most of your speed. Personally the most I end up going with in terms of the percentile increase (200 in this case) is 250 - 300 and above's a bit of a crapshoot for not having that issue happen.

[Eric Blank]

Putnam was using an interaction that kept increasing strength and had no problems that I recall with it overflowing until stupidly high values, but weight from muscle mass gain does exceed speed at a moderately high value like a few thousands. If you go that high, then speed mods might also be necessary.

Modded Dwarves: Changed Crossbow with bow
Dwarves ignore the hunting labor because they need CROSSBOW, and ignore bows and quivers.
Any tip?

item_weapon.txt dont have tags for hunting tool.
And I'm afraid to exchange names with each other because without the TAG, I think the LABORS needs the correct name to assign the tool.

I think of leaving [ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_XXX] and exchange the rest of the parametes, (and changing the other races, the dwarves/elf using [CROSSBOW] named 'bows', and the humans/goblins using [BOW] named 'crossbows'.

Is it possible to make a syndrome that spreads through pus from the oozing symptom?

[Eric Blank]

Only if it's directly added to he creatures pus material. For a spreadable disease across species, to be spread by any species, it would have to be added to the base pus material in material_default.txt. but there isn't a corresponding pus version of the enters_blood (iirc) tag.

It might be possible for toady to implement such a tag. Worth posting in the suggestions forum maybe.

Is it possible to make a syndrome that spreads through pus from the oozing symptom?

Not as a syndrome, but as a syndrome causing interaction, yes. Take a look at the example vampire raws, then replace blood with pus.

I wonder what happens if you make a deadly alcoholic drink; then sell it to caravans.

Would they carry it back to their home country, people actually drink it; and die?

[Eric Blank]

I've made poisonous plants and booze that civs have access to from their environment, but never seen any hist figs who died while off-site or in world gen. Syndromes probably aren't fully realized except when on the map
