I want to make a bird lay gems. How would I go about this?

I'm not 100% sure, but try this,

replace the normal egg laying things:
[EGG_MATERIAL:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:EGGSHELL:SOLID]   
[EGG_MATERIAL:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:EGG_WHITE:LIQUID]
[EGG_MATERIAL:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:EGG_YOLK:LIQUID]

with something like this:
[EGG_MATERIAL:INORGANIC:DIAMOND_CLEAR:SOLID]   

I used clear diamonds as an example, of course, but you can replace that with any gem.
Then again I neither tested this nor have ever tried something like this before so I'm pretty much guessing.

CE_SENSE_CREATURE_CLASS

Hmm...So I can't detect creatures with certain tags or creatures which lack a certain tag, like a psychic sense shows everything that doesn't have [NO_THOUGHT] for example?

A way to work around this would be to add multiple class to the creature in question
find every creature with a tag like [NO_THOUGHT] and add something along the lines of [CREATURE_CLASS:NO_THOUGHT] (you can add infinite classes to creatures)

then use [SENSE_CREATURE_CLASS:START:0:CLASS:NO_THOUGHT:15:4:0:1]
and BOOM! now you have the ability to see creatures with [NO_THOUGHT] through walls

[LAYS_UNUSUAL_EGGS:ROUGH:NONE:INORGANIC:DIAMOND_CLEAR] gives usable uncut gems. Replacing ROUGH with SMALLGEM gives you normal cut gems, and GEM gives you large cut gems.

That might work if you want the eggs to be made of diamonds, while being unusable for gem-related jobs. It may even be edible too, but I'm not certain on that.

If you want them to lay actual gems, try using this:

Code: [Select]

[LAYS_UNUSUAL_EGGS:ROUGH:NO_SUBTYPE:INORGANIC:DIAMOND_CLEAR]This will create uncut clear diamonds.

Edit: Ninja'd

[Dirst]

[LAYS_UNUSUAL_EGGS:ROUGH:NONE:INORGANIC:DIAMOND_CLEAR] gives usable uncut gems. Replacing ROUGH with SMALLGEM gives you normal cut gems, and GEM gives you large cut gems.

Ah, ninja'd.  In the case of an extra butcher object, the gem comes out with no cut/shape/quality.  Does that happen here, or does it somehow pick up those attributes at random?

[Knight Otu]

I suspect it'll come out shapeless as well, unfortunately. (I've been meaning to compose a suggestion to consolidate how the raws refer to items, but I keep putting it off, since even then, there need to be special cases.)

[Redzephyr01]

Did I do this diamond-laying bird right?

How would I go about making a special food type, such as canned food and sausages, that can only be made using special reactions(instead of just adding, say, ITEM_FOOD_CANNED)?

[heydude6]

Also, how would I be able to give a creature the ability to sense all creatures that have(or lack) a certain tag without sight or hearing?

I have no idea whether or not it is possible in adventure mode, but it is defiantly possible in fort mode, but only with the following tags BLOODSUCKER, CAN_LEARN, CAN_SPEAK, CRAZED, EXTRAVISION, LIKES_FIGHTING (or LIKESFIGHTING), MISCHIEVOUS (or MISCHIEVIOUS), NO_CONNECTIONS_FOR_MOVEMENT, NO_DIZZINESS, NO_DRINK, NO_EAT, NO_FEVERS, NO_PHYS_ATT_GAIN, NO_PHYS_ATT_RUST, NO_SLEEP, NO_THOUGHT_CENTER_FOR_MOVEMENT, NOBREATHE, NOEMOTION, NOEXERT, NOFEAR, NONAUSEA, NOPAIN, NOSTUN, NOT_LIVING, NOTHOUGHT, OPPOSED_TO_LIFE, PARALYZEIMMUNE, SUPERNATURAL, TRANCES, UTTERANCES

What you do is that you make an interaction that has [IT_REQUIRES:one of the above mentioned tags]. Let's take NOTHOUGHT. you can then use the CDI tag [CDI:VERB:N/A:has detected a creature with no sight:N/A].

So what happened here is that in fort mode when the creature comes within range (range is defined by CDI:TARGET_RANGE ) of a creature with the NOTHOUGHT tag it will display the message "creaturename has detected a creature with NOTHOUGHT"

unfortunately you won't know what it is, or where it is, you will only know that it is somewhere in range and the AI won't know anything. It is possible to figure out what it is by using CDI:TARGET_VERB but, I don't know how the verbs tokens actually work so I don't want to talk about them too much.

here is a link where you can do more reading http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Interaction_token

I hope this helped.

The reason why I had my doubts about adventurer mode is because in adventure mode you have to activate your interactions and select your target and I don't know whether the game will allow you to do that if they can't see the target.

[Putnam]

That's not really sensing.

Also, holy shit, LIKESFIGHTING can still be used in interactions? If so, great, you can use that for mutually exclusive crap... though not much.

Thanks! Although this is not what I needed for what I asked for, it is an elegant alternative to my idea for a "monster detector"(a reaction that creates a gas that infects people under the influence of certain curses with a syndrome that makes them flash a certain icon) which will conserve resources.

[Putnam]

Also, about TARGET_VERB: TARGET_VERB is VERB without the "mutual" section that is never actually used for syndromes. It's just second:third, aka "[you] use it:[it] uses it".

[heydude6]

Is it possible to make a civ that doesn't use any clothes, without adding the NO_EMOTION tag?

[samanato]

How would I go about making a special food type, such as canned food and sausages, that can only be made using special reactions(instead of just adding, say, ITEM_FOOD_CANNED)?

You can make sausages by defining a new material template (you can just copy meat) and plugging into STANDARD_MATERIALS, with no part of the creature actually made of it.  The same process is there in vanilla for tallow.

[Eldin00]

In 0.40.xx, is it possible to make the elven caravans bring booze? I swear they used to in the older versions (or perhaps my memory is addled from too much booze?), but nothing I do seems to make them bring it now. I've tried adding various combinations of the following tags to the elves in entity_default.txt

   [PERMITTED_REACTION:BREW_DRINK_FROM_PLANT]
   [PERMITTED_REACTION:BREW_DRINK_FROM_PLANT_GROWTH]
   [PERMITTED_JOB:BREWER]
   [PERMITTED_BUILDING:STILL]

I've generated several worlds with some/all of these tags added. However, they still never bring booze to trade. They do bring both brewable fruits and barrels, so I know they have access to the materials needed for brewing. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

[StagnantSoul]

I believe it only comes in wagons. Give them wagons, I always do.
