Yes.

I fear the inevitable tantrum spiral even more now. Mind projectiles everywhere.

EDIT: I've edited the existing world and I can finally see grist in stockpile settings. The only problem is that they are called simply 'build', 'weapon', without the grist part, but I'm gonna let this slide.

I may be overlooking something, but what is the exact process of using metal wool? None of the organic processing workshops have any jobs available and I can't find any organic processing reactions in the raws.

[Putnam]

It's gone, I thought >_> Apparently there may still be some artifacts or I just never removed it.

[ggamer]

Is it possible to make a weapon only make-able with one input metal? If so, you could have an insane variety of weapons that are all made with different types of grist.

[Putnam]

And an insane amount of reactions...

[Brilliand]

Canonically, the captchalogue/alchemiter system does have an insane amount of reactions, though.

I wonder if you could implement captchaloguing, and have punched cards as preserved reagents in a reaction?  The whole binary AND/OR system would probably be too much trouble, but specific combinations wouldn't be too bad.

Captchalogue cards themselves would make good containers for long-term storage... if it's possible to use a reaction to store an preserved reagent in a container.  Is that possible?  And if not, is is sufficiently easy to DFHack?

It's pretty much unavoidable that punching a card would only be possible with specific items... or with item types, disregarding the material, I guess.

A guide to the features of your mod would be nice, or at least clarify what is possible and how things are made.

I'll agree with this. This mod has awesome potential, but lack of manual or something like that - something that would explain briefly new things - would make the mod much more enjoyable. Also, Dwarf Therapist doesen't seem to find the game when I'm running the Fortbent.

[Putnam]

Probably because I named it fortbent.exe or something. Rename it to Dwarf Fortress.exe.

If that still doesn't work, it's because I changed the title of the window to Fortbent. That... is more difficult to fix.

when trolls go god tier in fort mode, are they still considered citizens that can be assigned jobs?

I haven't played it enough to see for myself (it keeps crashing), but I was wondering because in the raws it looks like it treats god tiers as separate creatures.

The current version of DFHack has issues with friendship, so no.

i might update it later if i feel like it.

It's the black king you need to kill, btw. The Black King is different from LE mainly in that, if you dodge LE's laser, you don't die. You can't dodge the Black King's glub. The Black King is his own caste because I'm a badass there is a token that will only allow specific castes to specific positions. The only methods of killing LE currently don't leave a corpse, hehe. The Ultimate Alchemy is free blocks, logs and boulders, allowing infinite building and limitless potential in megaprojects. I figure that's about as far as rewards can go in DF.

Oh shit, when did you get your own sub-sub-forum?
