MrFake: let me know when you figure out a way to use pumps to unleash several hundred tiles of pressurized magma onto your enemies. In the meantime, I'll accomplish the same using a bridge and a magmasafe mechanism.

The whole bauxite thing is rather odd anyway, since as I understand it plenty of the stones in the game wouldn't melt in magma if they had properly-set temperature information. It's just that most stones have default temperature info, which causes them to melt in magma. There's several mods that fix this.

I believe it's possible to mod Iron (The metal) to be forged into mechanisms. Doesn't even require a reaction, it's a tag in adamantine or something.

I'm curious what the barely conscious ai wrote about.
Well that went better than expected.  He went nuts and punched a rabbit to death, then the dogs and the whole dining hall ripped him to shreds.

On the subject of Glass Fortresses, one of my current works (a pyramid) has used over 12,000 glass blocks...  only 3 levels done so far.  11 to go.

Good luck :D

You do not understand the ways of Toady One. He is not a business, he's just a guy trying to make a fun game. He's invited people to come along and experience the journey with him (and help him test it out as he goes along). At the end of the day, I don't think his main goal is to sell Dwarf Fortress, its just to create the best game possible.

That's done by an [ANY_USE] tag, so if you add it to iron, you'll ruin the economy.

Too bad mechanisms cannot be made out of glass, not finding bauxite/flux makes most magma projects shatter in pieces.

It could be green glass, but it is crystal to compensate the cheat.  ;D

[REACTION:MECHANISM_GLASS_CRYSTAL]-----[NAME:cast a crystal glass mechanism][SMELTER]
[REAGENT:1:BLOCKS:NO_SUBTYPE:GLASS_CRYSTAL:NO_MATGLOSS]
[PRODUCT:100:1:TRAPPARTS:NO_SUBTYPE:GLASS_CRYSTAL:NO_MATGLOSS]
[FUEL]


From what i read this is made at a smelter and requires some smithing ability.
Could it be made that it is done at the glassmaker forge and requires mechanic ability?

Since I would have to regen to add that recipe, I'll wait for next var and gen a new world on that. I have an uber adventurer and way too many memories to just scrap this world.

If you don't want to regen, do a little feint:

open your reactions.txt, find a reaction (in vanilla it is third from the top)

Code: [Select]
[REACTION:BRASS_MAKING]
[NAME:make brass bars (use ore)]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:1:METAL_ORE:ZINC]
[REAGENT:1:METAL_ORE:COPPER]
[PRODUCT:100:2:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:BRASS]
[FUEL]

and replace it with two reactions:

Code: [Select]
[REACTION:BRASS_MAKING]-----[NAME:cast a crystal glass mechanism][SMELTER]
[REAGENT:1:BLOCKS:NO_SUBTYPE:GLASS_CRYSTAL:NO_MATGLOSS]
[PRODUCT:100:1:TRAPPARTS:NO_SUBTYPE:GLASS_CRYSTAL:NO_MATGLOSS]
[FUEL]

[REACTION:MECHANISM_GLASS_CRYSTAL]-----[NAME:make brass bars (use ore)][SMELTER]
[REAGENT:1:METAL_ORE:ZINC]
[REAGENT:1:METAL_ORE:COPPER]
[PRODUCT:100:2:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:BRASS]
[FUEL]
