"Custom workshops are now able to be modded in, allowing you to set up custom reactions.
These can support corpse harvested items, like shells/horns, and might use barrels/other containers."

What kind of custom workshops will you make when the new DF version comes out?

[Untelligent]

Mostly things for race-specific abilities in my upcoming mod for DF2010, since I seem to recall Toady saying custom workshops will be able to be enitity-specific in the List thread.

[dragon0421]

A workshop that only produces elf skull chamber pots decorated with elf skin and menacing with spikes of elf bone.

Fire-safe workshop. Oh god yes. Will speed up getting to magma forging so much quicker and with so much less screwing around with stockpiles and stone prohibition.

[Ozyton]

Star jellies anybody?

EDIT: Oooh, how about a workshop that allowed you to grind any rock into sand? You would need bags obviously, but it would give your useless rocks a use!

Yes please.

I don't get it.  What would it do and why do you need it?

I just make magma forges out of what ever's lying around.

[nenjin]

Floodgates, mechanisms and anything else. Getting magma to your forges is just the beginning.

[LegoLord]

Ah.  I usually tap for traps from a different place than where I tap for forges.

Anyway, as far as what I can think of for custom workshops, I'd probably make something that would allow creation in bulk of extractable vermin.  Some sort of cloning machine, perhaps.

 I will devise a Sand Millstone, which allows you to grind rocks into sand.  Not sure if the reactions will allow for appropriate colored sand easily, but that would be a nice touch.  No Sand Quern, though; hand-milling rocks into sand would take far, far too long.

 Also on the priority list: an Earthenware Workshop.  Kaolinite (or other clay stone types) + water, allows you to construct Soft Clay items.  Can also be fired in a Kiln to make Hard Clay items (if the reactions are flexible enough for that; if not, I'll make an Earthenware Kiln and Magma version instead for Hard Clay items).

Something that turns socks into money.

I like this idea, but I'd want to apply it to other types of stone. I've been wanting to make a well from Cinnabar blocks, a lead chain and a pitchblende bucket.

You need the bucket to be made from lead, and the chain from pitchblende, lead only affects it if it touches the water .

 Or if you wanted to be especially amusing/evil, you could find some way to refine the potassium out of feldspars like microcline and make the bucket out of that.  Pure potassium + water = BOOM.
