please don't hurt me, but i'm thinking of doing this.. making a new ore called fish, and then a smelter reaction to turn the fish ore into real fish.. whatch think?

code:

[MATGLOSS_STONE:FISH]
[NAME:fish][COLOR:1:7:1][TILE:'@']
[SEDIMENTARY]
reaction_neko
[OBJECT:REACTION]
[REACTION:FISH MAKING]
[NAME:make fish]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:1:STONE:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:FISH]
[PRODUCT:100:1:FISH:NO_SUBTYPE:SALMON:NO_MATGLOSS]

I think there is currently a problem where you can't specify a creature so the game uses a default settings for the boiling point, melting point and current temperature. All of which are set to 0 DFDegrees. Or -A hell of a lot Fahrenheit. This results in the product boiling off while simultaneously freezing anything nearby. Such as dwarves. It's rather entertaining.

yes but at the moment, for testing i have temp turned off, so thats not really an issue, i got the layer made, but i'm having issues turning it into fish, for one they don't seem to go get the stone and for 2 the output is a worm.

Are you planning to wear the t-shirt?

It would be awesome if that ore only occurred in ice walls of frozen rivers/streams/lakes

That would be VERY awesome.

Actually, it's very FEW degrees farenhiet. Resulting in the surrounding heat causing it to boil.

well i got it sorta working, they make item "fish" which is processed fish but they won't move it to the food storage, i would rather them make a kind of fish and actually move it around, think i need to have em make raw and process or this?

[PRODUCT:100:1:FISH:FISH_CAVE:NO_MATERIAL:NO_MATGLOSS]

might work?

my assumption is that "fish" while showing as fish, and being eaten, is not in the food list as there is no real fish called "fish" so i guess if making cave fish as above fails i can always just make a fish called fish and that might fix the issue?

No can do.

ow...

so i've gotten it to make blue jays and all assortment of animals by picking random material types, but i just want a turtle or cave fish or something, and setting the sub_type doesn't seem to do squat.

...I hear you can fish out of aquifer water...there ya go, mine for fish.

Fish by itself should work just fine unless yer trying a specific kind of fish, because I once heard of someone making 'mystery meat' in a smelter before.  I believe the dwarves were happy to eat it too.

Fear the power of α (EDIT: dangit the symbol dosn't display correctly on the board)
EDIT: You could probably just randomly guess at the matglosses (or whatever) and hope to come up with it.  I heard someone doing that with making live animals in a smelter too.  But there were more creatures than material types so there was a limited selection.

well they eat the "fish" thats not an issue, the problem is cause its not listed as a REAL fish in the game they will not transport it to the food storage and thus it rots in the smelter.. i can make em make raw fish which i then have to prep, but same issue, sits there with out being taken to the food storage.. hmm. any idea on how to get a specific fish? like turtle or cave fish or something? i've tryed subtype and pretty much anything else in the row but i either continue to get "fish" or the game crashes when the smelter goes to make one.

do i need to just make a matgloss file with turtle in it or something?
