how to create stone bags!

(1/2) > >>

stillrabbit730:
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

scamtank:
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.

stillrabbit730:
TIME FOR !!SCIENCE!! :D
couldn't i just make a reaction making a BOX out of the stone cloth?
that way it would require the closest cloth item.

scamtank:
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
