I hate having to chop for wood, so I was wondering whether it would be possible to add the capability to make hammocks from the usual cloth materials.

As far as I can tell, the necessary files haven't been exported from the code to raw files yet - would I correct in saying this?

Even if you can't make a new item, you could make a reaction somewhere that made beds out of cloth.

The unfortunate part of the Raw system is that most furniture is not in there - this includes statues and beds.

Stones, weapons, critters, languages, smelter reactions, armour, and kitchen reactions seem to be the only modifiable things in the raw folder.

So you can't add in a new piece of furniture - sorry.

But yes, you could use the reactions document to create cloth beds via the smelter. Make sure to set the fuel to zero though, so you don't end up using charcoal.

Toady has indicated that he wants to move more stuff into the raws to allow for more modding possibilities, but thats a long term thing.

Okay, so working on the creation of pig tail cloth beds instead of proper hammocks, I've been trying this:

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:BED_PLANT_TAIL_PIG]
[NAME:make cloth beds]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:100:1:CLOTH:NO_SUBTYPE:PLANT:GRASS_TAIL_PIG]
[PRODUCT:100:1:BED:NO_SUBTYPE:PLANT:GRASS_TAIL_PIG]

and variations upon - it does produce a bed, but doesn't consume cloth - I assume, from the error log, that that cloth isn't a proper type of cloth - it produces something *named* Pig Tail cloth when I set it as a product instead of a reagent, but I don't think it's the genuine article.

I don't suppose anyone could point me to a successful cloth reaction? I've searched the modding forum and the wiki, with no luck.

Are you sure this works? I'm pretty sure that you can get no the GRASS_TAIL_PIG but something different instead.
I should try it at home. I haven't played with creature/plant reactions for long so I forgot a lot about the issues here.

But it's so dwarven to forge your own food and cloth....

I believe that this mod is likely to include what you're looking for.  It's mostly about making glass beds, but I believe some of the reactions include cloth in the ingredients as well.

Aha! Yes! Many thanks - for those playing at home, the key issue I'd missed was this:
[REAGENT:100:1:CLOTH:NO_SUBTYPE:PLANT:GRASS_TAIL_PIG]

Reagents don't have a chance to not get used - you have to delete that field.

D'oh. All works fine now - as:

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:BED_PLANT_TAIL_PIG]
[NAME:make cloth beds]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:1:CLOTH:NO_SUBTYPE:PLANT:GRASS_TAIL_PIG]
[PRODUCT:100:1:BED:NO_SUBTYPE:PLANT:GRASS_TAIL_PIG]

(Though remember it won't find cloth within bins, as far as I know.)

forgive me for sounding like a complete nub, but why is it we can't have this procedure come out of a clothier's shop?

I couldn't find anything on modding other shops - as far as I know it isn't possible yet. Though if you know otherwise I'd very much like to make the shift.

Reactions only work at a smelter for now, until Toady adds in support for reactions at other buildings.
