Is crystal glass still bugged? Don't want to waste time making it if it is, but it's fairly valuable, so....

[SirAaronIII]

Nope, it's not fixed, I think.

[agatharchides]

It hasn't been marked fixed on the bugtracker, so I'd assume not.

[Sarda]

Ah, well. Thanks for the prompt replies.

I think so, but I'm not sure. I don't try making it though, so ask someone else.

You could probably make a custom reaction that uses the same reagents & makes crystal glass.

IIRC there used to be some such in the Glass Forge mod.

Howdy guys.  I tried modding in a new reaction to make rock crystals from iron, but it won't show up in the smelter list.  I used the following:

[REACTION:IRON_TO_CRYSTAL]
[NAME:make rock crystals (from iron)]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[REAGENT:A:150:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:IRON]
[PRODUCT:100:1:ROUGH:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:CRYSTAL_ROCK]
[SKILL:SMELT]

and also added:

[PERMITTED_REACTION:IRON_TO_CRYSTAL] 

to the entity_default file 

Would anyone happen to know why this might not be working?  My baron is also my legendary weaponsmith, so I'd rather not partake in some !science! with him

I assume once I get the rock crystals I can order some glass items to be made in the glassfurnace and appease him?

Thanks!

Did you regen the world after adding the reaction and the entity permission? You need to do that.

To get a 'new' reaction into an existing fortress, delete everything below the [REACTION:whatever] line of an existing reaction and replace it with the appropriate lines from your own reaction.

[JAFANZ]

New reactions have to be added before World gen.

You also need to add a [PERMITTED_REACTION:<reaction>] tag to the Mountain civ in Entity_default (also before World gen I believe)

As Sutremaine said, your only option for doing it in an existing Fortress/World is to replace the function of an existing reaction that is available to the Dwarves, I recommend using one (or more) of the Pewter Reactions unless you've a Noble who likes them.

[Juason]

Ahh, I didn't know about the worldgen thing.  Thanks for the info. 

[JAFANZ]

BTW, the Rock Crystal > Crystal Glass reaction is still bugged, so you probably want to make your custom reaction go straight to Crystal Glass Blocks (or whatever).

Provided that it wasn't changed since 31.18, you don't have to actually replace the function to get this to work, but can just add it on.

After watching too many adventurers die at the hands of boogeymen, I set up a fort where converting Bituminous Coal to Coke produced adamantine strands, cloth, and wafers as well as the coke. I originally just used the process to create stone that I would extract the strands from, but that took too long. I haven't tried it lately, but I haven't needed dozens upon dozens of pieces of adamantine cloth and fifty or so wafers lately either.

I'm still having trouble replacing one of the existing reactions.  For example, I changed to the following:

[REACTION:PIG_IRON_MAKING]
[NAME:make pig iron bars]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[REAGENT:A:150:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:IRON]
[REAGENT:B:1:BOULDER:NO_SUBTYPE:NONE:NONE][REACTION_CLASS:FLUX]
[REAGENT:C:150:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:COAL:NO_MATGLOSS]
[PRODUCT:100:1:ROUGH:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:CRYSTAL_ROCK]
[FUEL]
[SKILL:SMELT]



But still get pig iron when the reaction completes.  Also, what would it look like to go straight to crystal glass blocks?  Thanks for the help!
