I was wondering if you could have multiple ingrediants in a smelter reaction?

Say I wanted to make bullets for guns I'm working on, could I create a reaction that requires 2 ingredients? Like salt peter and stone to make gunpowder and projectiles for a new weapon?

On another note, could I replace the crossbow with another weapon?

Not to be rude, but it's much easier to figure out what can and can't be done if you just crack open the raws.  Also, I recommend keeping this page on hand at all times.

I've never made any reactions, but the format seems simple enough.  You can certainly have a reaction that takes multiple reagents.  For example:

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:ELECTRUM_MAKING]
[NAME:make electrum bars (use ore)]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:1:METAL_ORE:SILVER]
[REAGENT:1:METAL_ORE:GOLD]
[PRODUCT:100:2:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:ELECTRUM]
[FUEL]Notice the multiple reagent tags.

As far as replacing crossbows, I think that is relatively easy.  Basically, open up the file for weapons, and edit the crossbow entry as needed.  As long as the tags indicating what sort of weapon it is remain in place, I think it will still work.  The bullets should probably still be tagged as BOLTS so you can still make them in dwarf mode.

If you want to use it in your own fortress, I believe you'll have to internally call it a crossbow(let it use the crossbow skill) or you won't be able to assign dwarves to use it.

For it to be usable in Fortress mode it needs to use the [CROSSBOW] skill tag, however, the ammo tags are completely variable.
You can make ammo which does different types or amounts of damage (slashing, pierce:30,5000) and label them all with the [BOLT] tag, which will make them all fireable by any weapon which has that tag for ammo.
You can also, interestingly enough, add more than one usable ammo tag to each ranged weapon(see here for more detail)

Basically, it must have

Code: [Select]

[RANGED:CROSSBOW:(insert your ammo type here)]to be used in Fortress mode.
Ammo type can be any.
Multiple repetition of this line are permitted, and each can have a different ammo type, so you could mod your game to have a crossbow that fired both bolts and arrows, but bows could still only use arrows.

Sorry if this is a bit hard to read/understand, I'm somewhat tired atm.

The main problem that we can't forge more than 25 bolts out of one bar.

[Eagle0600]

We can if we use smelter reactions. Or the custom workshops that are coming up (which would be better suited for this, I think).

[Grax]

We can? How? Please give me reaction that makes a stack of 100 bolts. ;-)

[Daywalkah]

[REACTION:MAKE_AMMO]
[NAME:make ammo]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:5:METAL:NO_MATGLOSS]
[PRODUCT:100:500:AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_BOLTS:METAL:NO_SUBTYPE]

If you want to cheat, remove the whole reagent line  .

[Grax]

[REACTION:MAKE_AMMO]
[NAME:make ammo]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:5:METAL:NO_SUBTYPE]
[PRODUCT:100:500:AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_BOLTS:METAL:ELEMENTIUM]
If you want to cheat, remove the whole reagent line  .

And they'll be really 100 bolts in one stack? WTF. I've tried that and didn't get a result. (Hmm. Or i tried it another way?)

Gone for 5 minute to check irl.

[Grax]

FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU 

Really 500. Amazing. Wonderful.


Reagents are failed in your reaction.
Need to be written like [REAGENT:20:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:NO_MATGLOSS] to consume some bars, as with your variant smelter casts them out of nothing.

[Daywalkah]

Sorry, I forgot I was using a mod and you don't have elementium. I'll change it. Would it be NO_SUBTYPE or NO_MATGLOSS? Ohhhhhhhhhhhh.

[Grax]

Sorry, I forgot I was using a mod and you don't have elementium. I'll change it. Would it be NO_SUBTYPE or NO_MATGLOSS? Ohhhhhhhhhhhh.

Nonono. I'm speaking about reagent, not product.

(I changed elementium to iron if we're about compatibility ;-).

[Daywalkah]

Ok, is it right now?

[Grax]

Aha.
