How to make Stone anvils
« on: February 21, 2011, 09:27:30 pm »

I'm willing to give the .19 low metal thing a chance,  but I'll shave my beard and point my ears If i ever have to embark without an anvil simply because the RNG picked bad sites for the mountainhome to settle in.  So as a compromise I'd like to Mod stones so that the dwarves can make anvils out of em.  If anybody can tell me how i'd be much appreciative.

Why couldn't my vampire Hammerer eat someone useless, like a migrant? Instead, she went after my only gemcutter.. but sadly there were no witnesses, so I convicted someone's pet duck as the murderer.  It got off easy, with no beatings or jail time.  >.<

Find a rock you like, add [ITEM_ANVILS] token to it inside the raws.

Alternatively, add a dummy reaction that produces a ton of ores, but cannot be used in the game.  This will cause your civilization to have those ores due to the "has all material from reactions" quirk.

Couldn't you just go into material_template_default and add [ITEM_ANVILS] to your [MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:STONE_TEMPLATE]? Therefor making all stones able to make anvils at once.

Also, for short questions, ask the modders workshop. They are good at what they do!

I have attempted both these methods, to no success. No stone anvils (or weapons, or picks, which I was also trying for) are available on embark, and no option to create them appears at any existing workshop after embark. Any idea what might be the cause?

Did you put the reaction in the entity_default file? Did you set the reaction to be made at a specific workshop?

Post the raws give us a look.

Reaction? No reaction, this should be automatic.
Did you regen a world?

I did indeed. Three new worlds, in fact, after each variation of the attempt.

I think a custom reaction is the best you can hope for here.

Code: [Select]
[REACTION:MAKE_STONE_ANVIL]
[NAME:make stone anvil]
[BUILDING:(...)]
[REAGENT:A:5:BOULDER:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:NO_MATGLOSS]
[PRODUCT:100:1:ANVIL:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NONE]
[SKILL:STONECRAFTER]

That should be... roughly correct. I don't make great use of reactions.

Adding [ITEM_ANVILS] to the stone template won't do anything because the only place that creates anvils is the forge, which only looks at metal.

This is what I was afraid would be the case.

Make it so all metals can be made into anvils?

Also, if you give the dwarves this reaction, your civ will ALWAYS have access to base metals, so you won't have to worry about not being able to embark with an iron anvil.
