Engrave: Book ?
« on: September 30, 2010, 04:20:59 am »
So, is it possible to "engrave" a book with fortress history?

Engraver > Engrave Designation > Egraving
Historian > Engrave at Library Workshop > Historical Tome/Book

Are there any tags that you can grab from, or to immitate, the engraver's job?

My thanks in advance.

You could add a custom reaction which changes the objects name, and uses the engraver skill, but you could not make it record the forts history.

Or maybe there's a god who's just completely insane and sends you to Detroit, Michigan in a new body if you ever utter the name "Pat Sajak".

And therein lies the problem. Ah well, thought the Q would be worth a try, just in case. Crafts they will be, then! Artifact Leatherbound Tome. Masterful Poem! Indeed...
