This is really impressive, and I'd be very interested in including this (full credit where it is due, of course) with LFR, but only if you agree to that.  I'll definitely be grabbing it for personal use, though.

[FearfulJesuit]

So...wait.

I could have a smaller group of dedicated stone haulers, and I could still have a much faster way of building buildings?

For people like me who play with low population caps, this is a godsend. I salute you, good sir.

I think making scrap a boulder or something similar means we could make scrap cities.
Got a load of useless junk from sieges? Turn it into scrap and build houses for your subjects!

Or build catapults and lob it at the next lot.

This would be beautiful. The only drawback I see here the loss of goblinite (not much but always)
Damn, I think I'll actually do some reactions for this later, when I'll have some spare time.

If I didn't want this to be used by others I wouldn't post it on this forum in the first place
So please go ahead and use and mod it, you have my blessing.

Pretty much yes, that was the whole idea of packing items in one item and reducing hauling jobs.
I'm not sure (didn't test it) but hauling wheelbarrows *should* be handled by "Item hauling" so if you turn it of for loading/unloading dwarf you could speed this even more.

Oh and you could put [AUTOMATIC] to loading actions so there wouldn't be a need to manually queue it, just remember about burrow to prevent hauling same stones in infinite loop.

i'd like to add a midified version of your work to my mod
changes:
Wheelbarrow -> mine cart

that if you give me permission of course and IF i manage to get it working

[RexMundi]

I also like the idea of making them minecrafts minecarts.
I think I'll try tinkering around with the mod a bit, if only to allow more rock per haul. how does it handle non-everywhere rock, like ores?
either way, proof of concept accepted, you should go in with the other great modders if only because you figured this out.

Go ahead and use it as you like

To get mine carts instead of wheelbarrows all you need is to change item name in item_bdog.txt:

Code: [Select]

[NAME:Wheelbarrow:Wheelbarrows] change to:

Code: [Select]

[NAME:mine cart:mine carts]and it's ready (well, not entirely since you still don't have tracks for your carts but who cares )

how does it handle non-everywhere rock, like ores?

Check screenshot in the first post, last time I checked tetrahedrite was an ore
I didn't test smelting it after unloading but there shouldn't be any problem (when I was inspecting it df displayed possible reactions)

[darkflagrance]

This mod is sheer genius.

I don't know how you were able to wrest this idea from the arcane workings of the Dwarf Fortress raws, but it is glorious to behold...

[Rumrusher]

I wonder could one attach this to Cages and a build a roller coaster theme park

If you do make a scrap reaction (or what not), a recent other !!SCIENCE!! thread worked with negative values.
You could make the scrap actually worth less than 0, so if traders come with scrap, they'll pay to take it off your hands.

As well, dwarves who use buildings made of scrap will not get such good moods (I think?). Instead, they'll get upset by using scrap... in theory?
The problem now is finding out how to keep from finding Scrap viens down in the ground.

Oh, and you could refine huge amounts of scrap (say 10 boulders of it) into copper, or much larger (50?) into iron, or something.
I don't know. Probably a bad idea to listen to me.

[Stronghammer]

hey just curious could the reaction be setup to load and unload gemstones?

well there a case where to much negative would just loop back around to being worth something and end up with "Sweet rare better than Adamantine" scrap

[mrtspence]

This is actually so great. Really impressed!

[GaxkangtheUnbound]

From a recent bit of !!SCIENCE!!, I'm pretty sure you can assign reactions to use hauling labors, as in HAUL_STONE, HAUL_WOOD, etc.

[ouroboros]

In the unloading reaction, you specify to PRESERVE_REGEANT for the wheelbarrow(container).
Why not specify the same for the boulder? or would that not unload the boulder?
