Noble/mayor requires Bismuth items
« on: March 30, 2009, 03:22:55 pm »
I ran into interesting problem. I got a noble, (can't remember who it was), who liked Bismuth. Normally I don't care one way or another, but the nobles seem to mandate construction of items and materials they like, and pretty soon my orders were to make 3 bismuth items.

The problem is, there is nothing one can make from bismuth, so I was stuck. I tried to make bismunthine bronze, but that didn't count as item. I was unable to fill the order.

This is likely very rare situation, but it is possible. I quess Bismuth should be removed from the preferred materials list.

Does turning ore into bismuth count?

Just edit the raws

take the [BRITTLE] tag out.  That should fix it, if it doesnt then leave it out and add another tag to give it a use.

This is a known issue. You can smelt bismuth bars, which will satisfy the noble.

See if you can smelt bismuth from nobles.

Seriously though, from personal experience it's best to just kill the noble making the mandates.

Nobles aren't known for making reasonable demands. Though demanding bismuth isn't that bad. Just smelt some bismuth bars and he'll be happy.

At least he doesn't have an adamantine fetish.
