On ammo
« on: January 23, 2011, 07:11:12 pm »
Is there any way to either change the amount of ammo you get for a particular type or at least change how many bars it takes to make? I tried [MATERIAL_SIZE] but it doesn't seem to have worked.

You could probably do that if you produced the ammo via a custom reaction and set that up to use however many bars tou're trying to get it to use. Two caveats though:

  • The number of bars that you type into the reaction definition needs to be a specific multiple of the actual number of bars used in game, but I don't remember that multiple offhand (check the "reactions" article in the wiki)
  • While it would use the correct number of bars to produce the ammo through your custom reaction, the ammo would still use the normal number of bars when produced through one on the game's normal inbuilt weapon/ammo making reactions at the metalsmith and craftdwarf workshops

Unless you remove the access to ammo but still give access to the reaction. Traders should bring these new ammo with the correct stack count.

I was thinking about a reaction for it but then wouldn't caravan guards/invaders not come with the ammo?
