Hi,

for the attempt to launch a megaproject I've added the free wood reaction to the reaction_smelter and generated a new world afterwards. But for some weird reasons I can't get wood out of my smelter. It only tells me that there is no task available and that I should check for raw material access, although the http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/DF2010:Cheating#Create_Wood reaction apparently doesn't need any raw material. And, yes, I have saved the file after adding the reaction from the wiki and before generating a new world.

Here's the reaction entry that I've added to the reaction_smelter.txt from the raw/objects folder:

[REACTION:FREE_WOOD]
[NAME:create wood]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:5:WOOD:NO_SUBTYPE:PLANT_MAT:TOWER_CAP:WOOD][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]
[SKILL:SMELT]

Have I forgotten something important?

Thanks!

Hendrik

You have to add the reaction to the list of enabled reactions in your Civ raw's.

[Shaostoul]

to clarify you need to add...

[PERMITTED_REACTION:FREE_WOOD]

to the file...

entity_default

[SeveQ]

Ah, thanks! Can I do this with an existing world or do I have to regen again?

[Heavenfall]

You have to regen, unless you modify an already existing reaction instead of creating a new one.

[SeveQ]

Okay, I have added the permitted_reaction stuff to the entity_default and regen'd but still can't see the free wood entry in the smelter menu.

[Heavenfall]

[PERMITTED_REACTION:FREE_WOOD] has to be added under the dwarf entity [entity:mountain]
Also you have to restart dwarf fortress after you've made any file changes

[SeveQ]

I see. Okay, now that I have already regen'd with the new reaction added, do I have to regen again after adding something to the dwarf entity?

[Heavenfall]

Yes. Also just to make sure, the only place you should add that stuff in the entity file is under the entity:mountain (like where you see the other reactions). If it's anywhere else, you should remove that.

Edit: If you don't want to regen, you can just modify a reaction that is already in.

[SeveQ]

I've just realised... before I regen'd the last time I already had added [PERMITTED_REACTION:FREE_WOOD] to the [ENTITY:MOUNTAIN] entity right after the last [PERMITTED_REACTION...] entry. Somewhere around line 223.

But it still doesn't work. 

[Haspen]

Isn't [PRODUCT_DIMENSION] used only for bars?

And if I read carefully, you want tower cap logs...

[SeveQ]

Well, doesn't really matter what type of wood... I've just c&p'd the reaction from the modding section of the wiki and set the wood type to the first one that came to my mind.

To mention that: modifying an existing reaction works. I can create wood with that. But I'd like to add a new working reaction. So, here again the step's I have taken so far:

* copy&paste the reaction from the wiki to the reaction_smelter.txt in the base raw/objects folder.
* add the [PERMITTED_REACTION:FREE_WOOD] entry to the [ENTITY:MOUNTAIN] entry in the entity_default.txt in the base raw/objects folder
* regen
* embark
* build a smelter
* look a proper Charlie that it's still not working 

[Heavenfall]

I'm going out on an edge here, but is it possible that there is no tower caps in your world? Maybe that is causing an issue.

Either way, I tried it out and your process works for me.

[SeveQ]

If you mean an entry of [PLANT:TOWER_CAP] in the plant_standard.txt of my world, then, yes, there is one. Both in the base and in the region raws.

[Heavenfall]

Edit: What I meant was that caves sometimes do not produce all plant types. It is not impossible that in your entire worldgen, there isn't a single tower cap. MAYBE that is causing a problem, but I'm just theorizing.

Does your raw differ in any way from the ones I posted?

What happens if you switch out tower_cap for OAK?
