Where would I find the data for the actual microcline stone building material, so that I may edit its properties. (such as decreasing its melting point, etc)

[3]

matgloss_mineral.txt?

[Heron TSG]

I found it in matgloss_stone_mineral.txt but how do I change its melting point or make it a fish?

[G-Flex]

It helps to look at other entries for examples. For instance, the entry for bauxite reads:

[MATGLOSS_STONE:BAUXITE]
[NAME:bauxite][COLOR:4:7:0][TILE:'+']
[ENVIRONMENT:SEDIMENTARY:CLUSTER:100]
[MELTING_POINT:13600]
[BOILING_POINT:15000]

So you need to add a similar MELTING_POINT entry to whichever stone you're editing.

[Heron TSG]

Okay, now how about making the item turn into a fish bone?

[G-Flex]

I don't even know what you mean by that.

If you mean having the stone leave behind fish bones instead of stones: You can't.

If you mean modding in a reaction to produce fish bones from the resulting rock: You probably can, but I'm not sure how.

The reaction won't be hard.

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:STONE_TO_FISHBONE]
[NAME:turn microcline into fishbone]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:1:STONE:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:MICROCLINE]
[PRODUCT:1:100:BONES:NO_SUBTYPE:CARP:CARP]

[Heron TSG]

Okay, now here's another question about this rock I'm making.

Would I set the melting point really low in order for it to melt instantly?

[G-Flex]

Sure, but that would be pointless since then you can't do the reaction to turn it into fish.

Also, if you set it too low it might flash-freeze your dwarves.

[Christes]

Mining for fish?  Oh dear.

[magikarcher]

I have a hunch this is for a fossil or something.

If you mean having the stone leave behind fish bones instead of stones: You can't.

You could make a gem called fish fossil and then drop that using the [GEM] tag I think.

Also, if you set it too low it might flash-freeze your dwarves.

Seems flash freezing doesn't happen I put low melting points on every layer rock type just to make rock a little be rarer in my games.

It definitely happens if your dwarves are wearing whatever melts/boils (set the boiling point of cow leather to 0 to see a demonstration). I'm fairly certain it happens if they're on the same tile - once again, see what happens to the immigrants immediately after your first cow leather immigrant. Remember that DF treats temperature like a gas that diffuses over time proportional to the difference in temperatures. So a flash-freeze stays lethal for longer in a tundra than a desert.

For boiling points yes, not melting points though.

[Heron TSG]

Oh, so if I want a flash freeze, I make a low boiling point. If I want a flash FIRE I set it really high?
