Hm. Tried your fixes. He still didn't appear. Is there a limit to how many megabeasts the game can have?

[Vattic]

Just a quick question, how would I go about making a reaction and custom workshop to make cardboard and then make cardboard boxes for storage as a cheaper than bins way to store stuff random thing that serves no purpose but to store stuff?

I suggest you check out the building token and reactions articles on the wiki. They are pretty thorough. You can also copy some of Toady's none-hardcoded buildings.

There are a few ways you can do this. If you are only going to be using cardboard to make bins then you could have a reaction that takes wood and makes multiple bins of a new material called cardboard. This would be one of the simpler options avoiding the need to first make cardboard and then turn it into bins.

First you'd need a new material.

Code: [Select]

[INORGANIC:CARDBOARD]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:WOOD_TEMPLATE]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL:cardboard]
[DISPLAY_COLOR:6:0:0][TILE:'#']
[MATERIAL_VALUE:1]
Then a reaction with the following tokens.

Code: [Select]

[REAGENT:A:1:WOOD:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:5:BIN:NO_SUBTYPE:INORGANIC:CARDBOARD]
You could have a custom building for the reaction but the crafts workshop would do.

Another way you could do this is to have a reaction that turns a log into some cardboard sheets which can then be turned into cardboard bins.

First you'd need a new cardboard material.

Code: [Select]

[INORGANIC:CARDBOARD]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:WOOD_TEMPLATE]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL:cardboard]
[DISPLAY_COLOR:6:0:0][TILE:'#']
[MATERIAL_VALUE:1]
Then create a new sheets tool.

Code: [Select]

[ITEM_TOOL:ITEM_TOOL_SHEET]
[NAME:sheet:sheets]
[VALUE:1]
[TILE:254]
[SIZE:1000]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:1]
Then a reaction that turns a wood log into some of the new sheets.

Code: [Select]

[REAGENT:A:1:WOOD:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:5:TOOL:ITEM_TOOL_SHEET:INORGANIC:CARDBOARD]
And a reaction that turns the cardboard sheets into bins.

Code: [Select]

[REAGENT:A:1:TOOL:ITEM_TOOL_SHEET]
[PRODUCT:100:1:BIN:NO_SUBTYPE:INORGANIC:CARDBOARD]
You could add a new tree that doesn't grow naturally. It's wood called "cardboard".

Code: [Select]

[PLANT:CARDBOARD_TREE]
[NAME:cardboard_tree][NAME_PLURAL:cardboard_trees][ADJ:cardboard]

[STATE_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:cardboard]
[PREFIX:NONE]
[TREE:LOCAL_PLANT_MAT:WOOD][TREE_TILE:6]
[SAPLING]
[SOLID_DENSITY:700]
Then have a reaction that creates bins made of cardboard tree "wood" when given a log.

Code: [Select]

[REAGENT:A:1:WOOD:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:5:BIN:NO_SUBTYPE:PLANT_MAT:CARDBOARD_TREE:WOOD]
The problem you'll have is that wood is already value 1 and so is cardboard. Being able to create multiple sheets of cardboard or cardboard items from one wood will always multiply the value artificially. To solve this problem you could increase all the default values and then have cardboard as value 1.

Where are you putting the [CREATURE:PHOENIX] entry?

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Placed it in its own file along with some other megabeasts, so that's not the problem. And all the megabeasts within are self-made, if that matters.

  Why thank you sir/ma'am, your help is appreciated.

Doesn't the (FANCIFUL) tag mean a creature is fictional even to dwarfs? If so, that might explain why the Phoenix is not appearing in your game...

In other news, I'm adding even more crops to my game. Here's some code for golden chantarelles (underground crop, brewable into dwarven cognac, base was plump helms with some references from pig tails) and maize (surface crop, brewable into chicha, millable into maize flour, base was my wild rice mod).

Considering also adding truffles (underground crop, brewable?), morels (underground crop, brewable?), and puffballs (underground crop, brewable?). Agave as a surface plant for tequila or mezcal also possible.

[Krantz86]

hello, i've a couple of questions.
first is possible to create a mist as byproduct from a reaction? (plannynf on creating a SPA
second is possible to create a positive syndrome? to be more specific i want ot create a syndrome that affects a specific race in a positive way

[Sphalerite]

first is possible to create a mist as byproduct from a reaction? (plannynf on creating a SPA

I really doubt it.  Mist is only created by falling water.  It's not an item you can create.

second is possible to create a positive syndrome? to be more specific i want ot create a syndrome that affects a specific race in a positive way

Not yet, but once the creature interactions go in for the next version it might be.

[Krantz86]

mmh, fine.. another one, i've created a custome race that can use the still to make blood wine, that wine make anyone drink it nauseous except themselves of course, but how can i make sure that every member of my race prefers it over anything else?
to be more generic how i can make sure that a race like a specific product?

[Nukarama]

Is it possible to make that can use 2 skills? I want to make the short sword be either dagger or sword.

[Vattic]

As things stand creatures won't catch syndromes from eating or drinking. You also can't make your race prefer something over anything else, though, I think booze is always preferable to water.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

It is possible to make the reaction produce a byproduct that is called 'mist' when it is gas, and have it turn to gas at room temperature.
Also, [FANCIFUL] means that all the civs know about it. It's [DOES_NOT_EXIST] that erases it from existence.



EDIT:Never mind, the phoenix works now that I added genders in for the sake of description.

[ArKFallen]

EDIT:Never mind, the phoenix works now that I added genders in for the sake of description.

I didn't notice it lacked castes until you mentioned it, but for future information it is the caste(s) that show up in the game. I've heard that in the RAW System castes are the main thing looked at in creature object aside from the Creature ID.

Poorly timed information, I know, but I figured it should be stated.

[Kat]

is there a tool or utility that allows you to see what names you have already engraved on slabs? or can add jobs to the workshops to engrave slabs for names that don't already have a slab engraved for them ?

[IamanElfCollaborator]

No, the creature can just have [CASTE_NAME:blah:blah:blah] plopped on under its name. That's how the bronze colossus works, and the bronze colossus is genderless. I just removed castes to make the creature genderless, because there's only supposed to be one of them.
