[REACTION:BAUXITE]
[NAME:make bauxite]
[SMELTER]
[PRODUCT:100:5:NO SUBTYPE:STONE:BAUXITE]

The last line is a little short. I think it should be:

[PRODUCT:100:5:STONE:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:BAUXITE]

Also, you need that underscore. That's probably why everything else disappeared.

 Was it an existing reaction? As in, did it exist in the RAW's before you genned the world you are using it in? Or did you modify an existing reaction from world-gen?

I rather have the ability to mold basic quality metal mechanisms.

Do people just completely fail to notice that the very last option on the Trap Components list in the Forge is the humble MECHANISM?
..In other words, you can make them WITH quality in the forge WITHOUT modding in a reaction.
Sure, you can't make more then one at a time, and it has to use metal, but...

Dammit, I almost believed you'd stumbled upon a major, earth-shattering discovery there. Then I went and checked and it turns out it's not there.

Hmm, doh, it is only under adamantine.
Guess I have to wonder how I've been making Iron Mechanisms without modding my iron for all this time, then...

Perhaps applying the [ANY_USE] tag to other metals would allow their use in mechanisms (and other things?)  I wonder how many effects are tied to this tag, hopefully not the HFS which I've heard is tied to the [DEEP] tag on the raw adamantium.

Yes it appears that [ANY_USE] tag will allow the creation of metal mechanisms, in addition you can create Catapult and Ballista parts at the forge and Metal clothing all of which seem to be linked to this tag.  This could serve as a partial solution for those that REALLY demand steel mechanisms right now, the metal clothing is a bit annoying but you can just ignore it if your desperate.  The idea of making an Iron Ballistas is also amazingly awesome.

Do the siege engine parts actually work though?  IIRC when I tried to make them from adamantine, I got the bizarre cancellation "Needs metal logs."
