I might be wrong but as I understand it the workflow settings are stored inside the savegame disguised as a historical figure (cool idea, by the way). So in theory you should be fine with just copying your save to the newest version of DF.

Thanks Rinun_Rus.

I also found the start of a list in another thread re: workflow scripting.  It was far from complete, but got me pointed at the RAWs...  and, of course, I can't find that thread again now.   

I find most of them in the raws.  Haven't been able to find milk yet.  For mechanisms, you want TRAPPARTS.

TRAPPARTS?    Many thanks!  No wonder I couldn't work that 'un out.  /facepalm.

This is what you want, you should be able to get 99% of everything sorted out with this and the included readme.

Is this the one? http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=104015.0

For job item-material, how do you specify if you wanted a specific type of block used in the construction of something? Like BLOCKS:BASALT? What would the correct syntax for that be?

[Girlinhat]

If you want a construction (like a workshop) then you just specify the material.  job item-material is used to specify things like "process plant" into "process pig tails".  For inorganic items, such as "construct rock block" then you can use the job-material tool.  q over it, settle over the job, and type "job-material BASALT" to change "construct rock blocks" into "construct basalt blocks".

At least I think it's "job-material" but I may have mispelt it.  Use "ls" to list commands, it should be very similar.

[Terratoch]

Okay, but if I have a job that makes things out of rock blocks, and I have a bunch of different types of rock blocks and, much to my chagrin the stupid dwarfs OBVIOUSLY use every OTHER block but the ones I want them to use, how do I make that job work only on the rock blocks of a specific type, or is that even possible?

Reading comprehension.

What we have here is a failure to communicate.
I'm not making rock blocks. I'm making things OUT OF rock blocks.

[Girlinhat]

Are you building floors and walls and such, or are you using a custom reaction that takes blocks and produces items?  There's no vanilla reactions that intake blocks.  Blocks used for construction, well, you just select "basalt blocks" from the list, that's basic construction.

[Terratoch]

Now we're getting somewhere.
No. It's part of a mod. Masterwork, which lets you make bins and barrels out of rock blocks.
Only my idiot dwarfs are using the rock blocks that I bought from the traders that I wanted to change back into NORMAL rock for the ore.
Beyond forbidding every OTHER type of rock block, is there a way to limit the use of rock blocks specifically to basalt rock blocks using the DF Hack job plugin for the purpose of constructing these bins and barrels?

[Girlinhat]

It all comes back to Masterworks, it seems...  I swear, so many issues arising from that mod...

q, create the job, hover icon over the job.
DFHack, assuming it works the way I think it does, you should be able to simply enter "job-material BASALT", however since it's a custom reaction you'll likely need to use "job item-material 1 BASALT".  the "1" is a variable there.  Hit "job" simply, and it'll give you a readout of the selected task, and from there you can figure out what material to modify to make it take basalt instead of "anything".

[Quietust]

Does job-materials even work [reliably] with custom reactions?

[Girlinhat]

I haven't tried it, but I doubt that it does.

[DirtyChineseCigarettes]

is anyone going to update DFHACK for 34.06?

[nenjin]

No.

Or you could read up the thread instead of derping your question.
