alright, im an armature modder so i have the basics down.
I can create stone cloth and stone thread.
Now the only question is how can i create a cloth bag from these materials?
I can use the BOX item token with stone but it creates a coffer.

my only question is how can i get it to create a stone bag through a reaction or modding the cloth section or both!
EDIT: even when i create stone cloth and thread dwarves do not put it in a cloth/thread stockpiles, any idea on how to fix that?

thank you for your time and patience in helping my illogical, and esoteric problems

Bags are fiber/silk/hair/leather boxes. End of story. The thread-spinning and cloth-weaving steps are just mangling the same material into a different shape, they're not what makes a box into a bag.

I don't think anyone's thought sideways enough to try what would happen to a material with both IS_STONE and THREAD_PLANT at the same time.

TIME FOR !!SCIENCE!!
couldn't i just make a reaction making a BOX out of the stone cloth?
that way it would require the closest cloth item.

Stone boulders or stone cloth, it turns into coffers all the same. The material is the key, not the item type.

[stillrabbit730]

true,
yes very true...  i just tested this out and it still seems that i get coffers...

TWO REMAINING QUESTIONS!!
can dwarves store flour in stone coffers
how to change the material of stone to be a cloth?

any and all answers will be appreciated

1.no
2. open material_template_default, look for the stone template (should be high up) and add

Code: [Select]

[THREAD_PLANT]
[ITEMS_SOFT]
Gen a new world, done. If that does not work, copy the thread_plant template, rename it to rock_cloth and use that instead of the actual rock for the box/coffer/bag.
