What's with the things that aren't in the raws?
« on: March 13, 2014, 10:29:59 am »
Hi!

When I wanted to try & add metal beds to the forge, I couldn't find ANYTHING related to the forge or beds in the raws... grep'ing around further to find some point of reference, I got the same for any of the furniture armorstand etc...

Are all those things hardcoded or something or what's up with that?

Yes, they are hardcoded.

In fact, nearly all workshops are hardcoded - obviously, the only ones that aren't are the ones that are actually in the raws.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Gnn, and I was hoping I just counldn't find it...

I guess it has been extensively tested (/"brute-forced")if it's possible to override some of that stuff anyway with the raws?

The raws are not a programming language. They can't be used to do things they won't let you.

You will just have to create a custom workshop for that.
