   [REAGENT:glass:ROUGH:NONE:GLASS_GREEN]
   [REAGENT:wood:WOOD:NONE:NONE:NONE]

The reagents need names.

Alright, I added the names. I also discovered that I'd forgotten to add in amounts. So, this:

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:MAKE_GLASS_SWORD]
[NAME:make green glass sword]
[BUILDING:CRAFTSMAN:CUSTOM_SHIFT_S]
[REAGENT:glass:1:ROUGH:NONE:GLASS_GREEN]
[REAGENT:wood:1:WOOD:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:1:WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_SHORT:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:glass:NONE]
[SKILL:GLASSMAKER]now creates one green glass short sword from one raw green glass and one log.

This was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks, guys!

Good troubleshooting!  That skill comes in really handy during modding.

Q: If one were to mod a wood material by removing the [SPEC_HEAT:#] token, would doing so make it impossible for said wood material to catch on fire or be used as fuel in a wood furnace? Even removing the [SPEC_HEAT:#] token, it would still have an [IGNITE_POINT:#]. Wouldn't that be enough?

The reason I ask is because the wiki page on Dragonfire explains that slade is immune because "the raws do not define a specific heat for slade." So I was thinking of modding nether-cap wood by removing [SPEC_HEAT:#] to make it immune, with the hope of maintaining the rest of its usual properties, such as being burned at a wood furnace, etc.

[Putnam]

Nether-cap is immune to fire due to having fixed temp (MAT_FIXED_TEMP). Not sure what the default specific heat is. The implication there seems to be that slade has absolutely no specific heat capacity, which is interesting. AFAIK that either implies zero thermal conductivity (and thus perfect insulation) or infinite thermal conductivity (superconductivity).

Is there any way to get the POWER creature token working again for these new versions?

I tried giving it to dragons (while making them intelligent as well), and it all works fine during worldgen. But in-game, they'll be hostile to everyone (including the adventurer) nearby in No Quarter combat.

Removing the MEGABEAST tag doesn't seem to work either. Dragons just don't seem to spawn during worldgen without it. And even if they are spawning, they don't seem to be conquering civilizations.

I'm haven't used [POWER] yet, but I suppose removing [LARGE_PREDATOR] would help. also creatures with [NATURAL] generally don't fight with creatures that have [AT_PEACE_WITH_WILDLIFE] so maybe
that would work?
quick question of my own: if a creature has LOCKPICKER(or is it LOCK_PICKER?) but not CANOPENDOORS what happens?

[Demonic Gophers]

Any tips on the best way to get citizens to use a self-targeting interaction as soon as it's available to them?  I'm trying to put together a potion-based magic system, where each potion temporarily provides an interaction that unlocks permanent boosts and powers, if the creature has the right tags.  I don't want to just apply the effects direction from the potion because most of them are only supposed to work on someone who's already used the proper initial potions, which should be mutually exclusive.  I remember that creatures in fortress mode used to work any interaction with no usage hint almost immediately whenever they could, but the citizens in my potion-testing fort don't seem to be using the interactions to unlock their new powers.

Which is better? Bronze or iron? And what are they good for?

Bronze is better, a close second to steel. It's both heavier and stronger, so it's pretty much better for everything.

[Nahere]

It's a bit of a mixed bag for armour though.

[Putnam]

Bronze is stronger than iron but less tough, I.E. it bends less easily but shatters more easily. It's better for armor against units without weapons but worse for armor against units with. All in all, I'd say iron is better than bronze for armor.

[ManaUser]

Oh. You know when I said "everything" was really thinking of all types of weapons (which is why I counted weight as a good point). But in retrospect that was a very misleading way to put it. Thanks for clarifying that.

[Demonic Gophers]

Is there a way to apply an interaction directly from a syndrome, the way vampire blood applies the vampire interaction?

How do you control what metals a culture has access to? I'd like to make humans use iron.

I believe the easiest way to make sure an entity has a particular metal is to give them a reaction that produces that metal.  I don't think it has to be associated with a building or anything, just permitted for the entity.

[Eric Blank]

Humans should already have access to iron, in an unmodded game. All civs which have basic metalworking have access to non-alloy metals like iron, silver, and copper if they're available in the region the civ lives in. You can give them access to alloys like bronze by adding reactions that produce the bronze.
