So I've been trying, unsuccesfully, for days to get steam engines to work. I cannot build ordinary steam engines over any hole with or without a down staircase while magma steam engines produce no power; they do however get filled with a lot of water. The magma and water tiles underneath never decrease. What could be going on? 

Also when building magma steam engines it cannot see the magma if it's obscured with a down staircase. If I wasn't the only person with this problem I'd guess it was being treated as a workshop not a machine but I suppose that's not the problem.

Can anybody help me out here? I've done extensive googling and readme reading but nothing helps. You guys are my last resort. Shoot!

This sounds exactly like the kind of effects you would get if the plugin isn't actually loaded and running properly.

Edit: Steam engine MUST be a workshop, not a furnace. There is no freedom of choice in this point.

Ok well they are under the furnace category. How do I run the plugin? How do I make sure it's working? And why am I having this problem in the first place?

The raws are wrong, so it won't work in that world.

Alright after rereading what was said (and making myself feel stupid for missing the letters l, u, and a,) I have gotten my soldiers out of their otherwise seemingly irreversible comas. Thanks Putnam.

Well... crap. Its under Furnaces in the MasterworkDF mod. I could put it back into workshops (didnt knew that would affect anything) but I would really prefer that it would be added as a furnace. Simply for realisms sake. A steam boiler is per definition a furnace.

Furnaces simply don't have a certain data structure necessary for connecting to machines.

[Meph]

Understood. I will convert it back to a workshop for the next version. Thanks, at least I now know why it had problems.

Is there a workshop that needs power in work for dfhack r3? Like the millstone... that would be a nice addition for mods.

[Putnam]

Any way to get if a unit is within another unit's line of sight?

EDIT: Eh, I'll probably just go with 25 x 25...

[Deon]

So any info on how the autosyndome is coming along? I've been waiting for the new release for a while .

[Putnam]

Looks like it's doing pretty well, since it's on the github now.

[Meph]

The version I send you was finished as far as I know. Its just that it relies on parts of the next update, r3, and cant be released on its own. At least thats how I understood it. I'm waiting as well

Edit: Well, maybe I should just copy the code from githhub and see if it works with r2. ^^

[Splint]

Ok, so i seem to be having some issues with my soldiers again. Or one anyway. He gets drowsey but sleeping just puts him ina coma. Anything df hack can do to alleviate this? I'd rather not have to run the lua thing every time one or both soldiers finishes an action.

Edit: Well, maybe I should just copy the code from githhub and see if it works with r2. ^^

I think you'll have to compile the entire thing...

[Meph]

Nonsense. I simply copy the code into a .txt, rename it to .dll and I'm done. It will totally work, trust me. - he said, oblivious to all facts.

I have no idea how this works

Thanks for the help, hopefully when they're registered as a workshop in Masterwork this'll be the end of the problems. Tried to do it myself but... Well, the process swelled my already bloated respect for modders.
