It was too big for dwarves, it was for a much larger race to use, but even when I set the minimum size to 1 it does the same thing.

Hmmm.. I should try using it with dwarves now.

It shouldn't matter, but it's generally a good idea to have everything in the raws except for names capitalized.
The game still interprets it if it's not in caps as far as I know, but, for instance, you can't tell the difference between a capital I and a lowercase l in the Notepad default font...
Ill <--The word ILL.  See what I mean?

What happens if I reduce the value of a plant/drink to 0? That's it's monetary/happiness value right? Or is it also it's nutritional value?  Will the dwarfs eat it and starve?

Efficient diet foodstuffs, that.

[Deon]

I am pretty sure that value means only monetary value and dwarves eat any 1 unit of food per a curtain period of time.

Is there a way of "creating" creatures at a smelter?

Like, having a "iron golem" require 10 iron bars and 10 mechanisms?

oh, and having them come out "tamed" would probably be a good idea aswell

I couldprobably design the creature myself, but smelter reactions are a bit beond me at the moment...

[Footkerchief]

^^^ No.  You can make vermin, but that's it.

[IronValley]

A shame... I wanted to craft Adamantine Golems, make them trainable, and have a golem master patrol the fortress exterior =(

[daemoria]

There's nothing stopping you from making the golems...they will just be teleporting golems that phase through doors/walls/floors and that might get killed by your cats.

Seeing as cave spiders can bite dwarfs, vermin creatures can attack whoever they consider 'hostile'. I don't think they will come out of the smelter tame tho, so if you can get the item tokens for mechanisms and the metals you want, place the smelter in a room with cage traps. You'll most likely lose the soap maker turned furnace operator.

[IronValley]

and I'll have to use animal traps....

And the golemmaster will probably try to wear the adamantine golens on the head....

I know this is an old thread, but I have a question that has already been answered in the past.

Shells. I want to smelt them. I'm tired of seeing my moody dwarves dying of insanity because they don't drink anything.

[PRODUCT:100:1:SHELL:NO_SUBTYPE:SHELL:TURTLE]

[PRODUCT:100:1:SHELL:NO_SUBTYPE:SHELL:LOBSTER_CAVE]

Untested, but I think I've used those successfully in the past.

[Petra]

Thank you soo much!

[Footkerchief]

Hmm.  Oddly that just produces generic "shell," I can't get shell from a particular creature.  It should still satisfy mood requests, though.

Anybody had experience with shell reaction products?

[Assassinfox]

Try using the creature name as the matgloss for the reaction.

[PRODUCT:100:1:SHELL:NO_SUBTYPE:TURTLE:NONE]

instead of

[PRODUCT:100:1:SHELL:NO_SUBTYPE:SHELL:TURTLE]

Since, apparently, if you try to create bones, putting anything other than the creature name in the matgloss results in boiling bones freezing your furnace operator solid.  So, I imagine it might be the same deal with shells.
