Limiting weapons/ammo to certain material classes?
« on: August 18, 2009, 11:18:03 pm »
Is there any way to limit the production of a non-trap-component weapon or ammo type to a certain kind of material, like metal, stone, or wood?

Just to clarify, I do NOT want to limit production to a certain KIND of metal/stone/wood, such as, say, microcline.

I don't think you can do this for ammo, but I'm pretty sure that weapons will only be made of metal unless otherwise specified.

At any rate vanilla dwarves can only make one kind of non-metal weapon without a fell mood, which is the obsidian shortsword.

That's because swords have [CAN_STONE] and obsidian is [SHARP].
Remove those tags and you don't have any stone weapons.

Now I know!

(And knowing is half the battle.)

So if I added [SHARP] to flint and added [CAN_STONE] to axes and spears, they could make flint axes and swords and spears? Cool. Prehistoric.
