DF Modding / Are custom shearing and milking reactions possible?
« on: April 10, 2012, 04:05:19 pm »
I'm pretty sure that I already know the answer to this, since I've done a lot of digging around and not found anything, but it's worth asking.
At the moment I'm tinkering together some files to automate a lot of the farming infrastructure. I've created a bunch of single-use plants, and have automated reactions that will cause a flurry of activities come harvest time. I decided to ignore the Farmer's Workshop and just make my own ones, making everything work so much smoother. But the workshop still covers shearing and milking, neither of which I have any idea how to write.
Is it possible to create a custom reaction for either (or both) of shearing and milking? I want to be able to allocate it to another workshop, so that I can place them in useful locations rather than have a single workshop type where everything happens, and most importantly, I want to be able to have it be automatic. I can put together reactions to create the products - that's not difficult - but I can't find a way of involving the creatures in the first place. I strongly suspect that it's not possible. Am I wrong?
