[Prologue]

If I change [GROWDUR:1] would it grow almost instantly?

[GaxkangtheUnbound]

If I change [GROWDUR:1] would it grow almost instantly?

Almost instantly is pretty much correct. It should grow after 100 ticks, about 1/12 of a day.

[Crazy Cow]

Just a really quick question. Vanilla DF separates all the different kinds of items: weapons, armor, and the like. Can I put weapons and armor in the same file, or do they need to be separate?

[trees]

They can be in the same file, they all fall under [OBJECT:ITEM] so it's all good.

[Crazy Cow]

Good to know.

[CheatingChicken]

Just a small question:
Is it possible to make creatures use their natural weapons (such as hands, claws, etc..) for tasks like mining and woodcutting instead of a (pick-)axe?

No

[Trapezohedron]

Is it possible to put diggable ores or whatever stone into slade?

And will I be able to find the occasional crack that I can mine if the above's possible?

[Gizogin]

Is it possible to put diggable ores or whatever stone into slade?

And will I be able to find the occasional crack that I can mine if the above's possible?

Yes and maybe.  To put ores inside slade, just put [ENVIRONMENT_SPEC:SLADE:shape:100] (shape can be VEIN, CLUSTER-SMALL, etc.).  Whether or not you'll find any of it exposed is a different matter, but I imagine it'll be pretty rare.

[raptorfangamer]

how would I add a, say, reaction to the metalsmith forge?
I recently came up with the idea of chain picks and it would be nice to know how to even add it into the fort.
question is do I have to create a new workshop for such things?

also, im planning on experimenting with megabeasts for my first time, any tips?

[Prologue]

You can add a new workshop but you need a [PERMITTED_BUILDING:x] and a [PERMITTED_REACTION:x].

For example:

[REACTION:MAKE_CHAIN_PICK]
[NAME:Make Chain Pick]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[REAGENT:<name>:<quantity>:<item token>:<material token>][...modifiers...]
[PRODUCT:<probability>:<quantity>:<item token>:<material token>][...modifiers...][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:X]
[FUEL]
[SKILL:SMELT]

Then you need to add [PERMITTED_REACTION:MAKE_CHAIN_PICK] and check your smelter workshop for the reaction.

I strongly suggest looking at this if you're new to reactions: http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/DF2010:Reaction

[trees]

Put [WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_YOUR_WEAPON'S_NAME] under the desired entity (dwarves are MOUNTAIN) and you'll be able to make it at the forge out of weapons-grade metal bars. You can't add reactions to most vanilla buildings. If you want to make it out of separate components (like, have it include a pick in its production) you'll need to either make a new building for it or put it somewhere that doesn't make much sense, like the kitchen or craftdwarf's workshop.

Megabeasts aren't really that different from regular creatures. The [ATTACK_TRIGGER:x:y:z] is the most important (semi)megabeast-specific tag, probably, it determines when it comes to terrorize you in fortress mode. x is population, y is exported wealth and z is created wealth required for it to be eligible for coming to your fort.

Well, time for more questions q;
I'm doing something stupid with my syntax that's making one of my item files unreadable. Specifically, I tossed a few items together for an entity I tossed together. Here's the errorlogs and files in question:
