no, i didn't change slade the HFS rock,just added the ore, so its most likely still unminable.
i could rename the rock if you want, i just need a name for it.
Why make it mineable when you can make it...growable!
Though, honestly, that's just me being silly, growable metal is my own personal madness. You could always make it a smelter reaction. Put 100 random stones it, get one ultra usable stone.
I already use a smelter reaction (i should have put that in the post, shouldn't I?). I used one of Shaoshoul's reactions from the first page, but renamed to fit with the naming style I use with the rest of the custom smelter reactions I have.
Specifically, I used this:
[REACTION:FREE_SLADE]
[NAME:Slade!]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:1:STONE:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:SLADE]
[SKILL:DETAILSTONE]
The skill could be changed i guess, i just like getting experienced engravers without have to deal with the bad engravings
, so they make various colored rocks, bauxite, and now slade until they're decent.
combining dozens of rocks though, could be used as a plausible explaination for why the stuff is so dang heavy..
EDIT:not every dwarf can wear Sladite armorclothes (they're pretty much the same if you're using sladite, so no use seperating the two). Make sure that your chosen dwarf is quite strong (or whatever the new stat for "can carry very heavy armor" is), because while it would be a good idea to put the weaklings in sladite armorclothes to protect them, it would be like carrying several very large boulders on top of yourself: not very productive.
