Reaction time seems to be determined only by the skill of the dwarf, and the degree of clutter of the workshop.  You can't set a time that the reaction takes otherwise.

One possible workaround would be to make two reactions.  The first one takes the raw materials and produces a few thousand useless and un-sockpileable items.  The second triggers automatically after the first and consumes those items to make your desired product.  In theory, it should act like one very slow reaction.

Okay, I can't seem to figure this one out. Say I have this code:

And say it extends down with bismuth bronze, steel, silver, all of that. Is there any way to get all of that done and use only one reaction?

[TerminatorII]

how would that reaction look in RAW format? I know how to make a reaction, but how to make a reaction spawn then consume to make another reagent?

[TerminatorII]

as all ammo is defined as

Code: [Select]

[ITEM_AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_BOLTS]
[NAME:bolt:bolts]
[CLASS:BOLT]
[SIZE:150]
[ATTACK:EDGE:2:2000:stab:stabs:NO_SUB:1000]
and the inorganic_metal defines waht metals can be made into ammo. However, If you want it in a seperate building? looks to me like you would need each one spelled out seperately.

[i2amroy]

Ok quick question.... is there a way to set a minimum amount of time required for a custom reaction?

No. The only way to increase the amount of time a reaction requires is to make a reaction take multiple steps (so the iron ore becomes "partially processed iron ore", then "mostly processed iron ore", and then finally becomes iron. Alternatively you could limit the skill levels of your dwarves so that they were unable to become skilled in the required skill for the reaction.

how would that reaction look in RAW format? I know how to make a reaction, but how to make a reaction spawn then consume to make another reagent?

You would need multiple reactions. (i.e. part 1, part 2, etc.)

Okay, I can't seem to figure this one out. Say I have this code:
-snip-
And say it extends down with bismuth bronze, steel, silver, all of that. Is there any way to get all of that done and use only one reaction?

You could add a [REACTION_CLASS:XXX] to all of the things you wanted and then have a reaction that calls for something with that given reaction class I believe.

@Destroid:
The only thing that I notice looking at some of them is that you have [BIOME:SUBTERRANEAN_XXX] and then [UNDERGROUND_DEPTH:0:3] when you really only need [UNDERGROUND_DEPTH:1:3] (they have no aboveground biomes so they will never appear at level 0 on the surface.

[TerminatorII]

ok great multiple reactions.... but how would it look??? I can't find a guide to raw formatting anywhere and the raws are no where near close to waht they were 2-3 years ago when I last did modding.

[i2amroy]

The raws for my iron ore example would look something like this:

This will take hematite and convert it into "partially processed iron bars". These are bars of metal that are functionally equivalent to iron but are unable to be used to make anything. The second reaction then takes these and changes them into "mostly processed iron bars". The final reaction then takes these "mostly processed iron bars" and converts them into normal, usable, iron bars.

[Sphalerite]

You might want to put [AUTOMATIC] on all the reactions after the first one, so they'll be triggered automatically in sequence once the first is done.  Also, at least one of them should have [FUEL], unless you want it to run without needing coal or magma.

Im trying to make farming a bit more interresting by introducing domestication of plants. I have created a duplicate of a plant (in this case, carrots) removed the seeds from the original and reduced the frequency of the domesticated one to zero.
I then added a reaction that should technically make a domesticated seed out of the original plant.

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:DOMESTICATE_CARROT]

I manage to make "domesticated carrot seeds" they are stored in barrels, moved to food depot but they don't show up on the correct stocks and they are not plantable.. I assume i have something backwards in that product line and not creating proper seeds...

The Wild Carrots have

Code: [Select]

[MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:DOMESTIC:PLANT_MAT:CARROTS_DOMESTIC:SEED]

[Sphalerite]

Where do you have CARROTS_DOMESTIC defined?

@Sphalerite Thanks for the tag [AUTOMATIC] didn't know that existed, but it's what I was looking for!

[armeggedonCounselor]

Is it possible to have a reaction that produces and consumes nothing, but trains a skill?

I am making a cheaparse(tm) adventurer.

[Putnam]

Dwarf Chocolate has some that don't work.

You need a product, I'm pretty sure. You could have, say, a boulder that evaporates at normal outside temperature called "sweat".

So make a new inorganic something or other?

I think I can do that.

Hopefully this won't will lead to my world evaporating as soon as I start.
