Ladys and Gentlemen, it would appear that use of braces in the raws has unexpected results. Testing must be done, and as the largest institute for raw shifting in the forums, it is our responcibilty to figure out how to work this to our advantage.

If the ammo is listed as permitted in the entity file, it will show up at the crafts shop.

Remove the listing from the entity file, and use custom reactions to make the ammo. 

Kthx. Well, what if I remove from entity weapon too? Would they still use it?

[D_E]

The computer wouldn't use it.

But you would be able to use it in Fortress mode.  The weapons would be listed as foreign on the military screen.

can you elaborate? I am always curious about "unexpected results". It's the mad scientist in me.

Okay, I have some serious questions for something I'm working on.

Is it possible to make an entity consist of two or three creature types instead of just one?

Is it possible to somewhat randomize the materials of a creature's bodyparts? I don't want all my cyborgs to have one metal arm and one metal eye, I would prefer if different cyborgs had different modifications to their bodies.

I've tried to make a plant that can be smelted before but it never worked right... is there any way I could make a farmable plant that smelts into some various metals?

I'm not sure about the plausibility of a metal tree leaving behind bars when cut down... can that be done? or will it just be logs?

Can I make an ammo type that can't be picked up after its been used? (lasors should not leave used ammunition all over the place like arrows currently do.)

Not a single civ (which is what I'm assuming you mean; different to an entity). The closest you can get is making however many castes and just dealing with them interbreeding.

Is it possible to somewhat randomize the materials of a creature's bodyparts?

Again, castes.

is there any way I could make a farmable plant that smelts into some various metals?

Not in an effective manner. Better just to create a plant technically made out of metal and then create a "refining" reaction or something to turn it into bars.

I'm not sure about the plausibility of a metal tree leaving behind bars when cut down... can that be done?

No, you'll only ever get logs.

Can I make an ammo type that can't be picked up after its been used? (lasors should not leave used ammunition all over the place like arrows currently do.)

No.

No.

It was possible in pre-DF2010 versions, so if we ask Toady nicely, maybe he can give it back (STICK_CHANCE token for ammo and weapons).

evaporating ammunition the problem making sure they stay solid long enough to hurt anything

I thought about that, if i remember correctly anything that is flying through the air completely ignores the laws of temperature. The only problem I see is how will I store this ammunition without said vaporization?

[EmperorJon]

@Max Braces as in {}? And what do they do? What what?

Tell me!

fixed temp containers/quivers

So how does under_pressure as a tag work?

there's a tag for that???
