If I want to allow screw pumps to be made from nickel, what tags do I need to add?

[ITEMS_WEAPON] I think.

[Huggz]

Won't that allow nickel swords and stuff? If only my map had iron...

[gtmattz]

You should already be able to make the block and pipe from nickel, so adding the weapon tag to nickel then lets you build the enormous corkscrew trap component.

Yes, but I do not believe you can separate the two.

[afoninv]

Technically it is possible to create a custom reaction to make screws from nickel without giving nickel a items_weapon tag. Something like that:

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:NICKEL_SCREW]
[NAME:make nickel corkscrew]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[REAGENT:A:150:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:NICKEL]
[PRODUCT:100:1:TRAPCOMP:ITEM_TRAPCOMP_ENORMOUSCORKSCREW:INORGANIC:NICKEL]
[SKILL:SMELT]
Then placing this in the entity raws:

Code: [Select]

[PERMITTED_REACTION:NICKEL_SCREW]
However, you will have to generate a new world, so why not use wooden corkscrews? =)

As he mentioned both nickel and iron, doubtless because he wants magmaproof screw pumps.

Tip: Magma doesn't melt/burn things unless the thing in question is submerged in the magma (as opposed to being above or next to it).

Ah, of course, of course...

That's the point, however temperature transition will destroy non-magma safe materials in pumps sooner or later (in case temperature is on, of course). So yeah, either world regen, or existing reaction modification (which is very inconvenient... I can't think of a reaction to sacrifice), or plain cheating by adding nickel screw product to, say, coal to coke reaction.

[Patchy]

Couldn't you just add the weapons tag to nickel, then pump out however many you need and then remove the tag? Otherwise, couldn't you just buy a few iron bars/junk off the dwarven caravan and push out a few corkscrews from that?

[Deon]

Or you could make a reaction which turns nickel bars into screw pumps.

[Shaostoul]

Well it seems the easiest thing we've got for you OP is you doing a temporary mod. Either adding the weapon tag dealio or modding an existing reaction to allow for screw pumps and then change it back.

[ThiefofTime]

I just built a 150 z level wooden pump stack to pump magma. Just make sure temperature is off while you're pumping.

How do you power the pumps?

[Deon]

I usually power them with windmills, sometimes with perpetuum mobile waterwheels.
