The elves keep bugging me to leave the trees alone!
« on: November 12, 2008, 11:42:47 pm »

Since elves are clearly older and more pretty than dwarves, I figured I should find a way to leave their trees alone AND keep my fortress furnished.

If you wanna keep it in check, you can just lower the amount of things made per smelting and add this to each reaction:

That is an astoundingly good idea. I would download this. I would really download this.

You can just copy and paste the text into the raws you know...

The resulting party killed 20 dwarves, crippled 2 more and the remaining 9 managed to get along and have a nice party.

Or you could just add [FIXED_TEMP:40000] to the elves...

If you do both, you needn't worry about furnishing your fort any longer!

Even if you didn't do both, they'd wind up lighting your forests on fire. Irony.

Just a question, does that anvil actually work? Because I remember someone tried to build a plant anvil once, but because the material was not fire-safe the anvil didn't count as fire-safe, and was therefore unusable.

Soap is a fire-safe material; it can be used unmodded for building furnaces etc.

You don't need fire-safe stones, blocks, or bars for forges (as long as it's not wood).  Not even for magma forges.  You could make a smelter out of coal if you wanted.

It basically means "not wood".
