I'll try it again, but I made a whole fortress just to test it and the reaction never showed up in the smelter, even when I had enough weed.

Could you show me the reaction you made that you were talking about?

Definately doesn't work. I took 20 rolls of iron weed thread and charcoal out with me and built a smelter in the wilds. Definately won't let me make iron out of the thread.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Uh, did you try to look in the manager for the job?

Sometimes the thing gets glitchy. The manager has all available jobs listed. They should appear, and then the dwarves'll tell you what exactly is missing.

[Deon]

Also did you remake the whole world to test the thing?

[pushy]

I'll try it again, but I made a whole fortress just to test it and the reaction never showed up in the smelter, even when I had enough weed.

When you say this, did you just have "iron weed", or "iron weed thread"? Assuming nothing's changed from the smelter reaction you posted earlier, you have to take the iron weed and process it into thread at a Farmer's Workshop, same as if you were making pig tail thread or rope reed thread for clothesmaking The smelter reaction is looking for thread made of iron weed

[Loctavus]

Definately had the thread, fuel and a smelter. I've not tried it through the manager though. I'll try that maybe.

Ok, I added it in the manager.

It shows up on the manager and the smelter itself.

However there's no job on the job list for it, and certainly nobody has bothered to lift a finger to attend to it. No cancellations, nobody really seems to care at all and most of them have 'no job' inlcuding the three that have furnace duty designated.

Mind you, the same thing happened when I ordered some mechanisms, what's going wrong there?

[Sean Mirrsen]

You sure you have some furnace operators?

[Loctavus]

Three, one I brought with me and two I designated when the first guy didn't wake up and do his job.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Btw, how much iron weed did you take? The reaction says 10, but that's not 10 "units" it's 10 "stacks".

[Loctavus]

The reaction now uses thread, which doesn't stack and is stored in bins. I took twenty rolls of thread. I also have a fortress that physically made about 35. Neither could be persuaded to smelt them.

To double check, this is the current reaction :

[REACTION:WEED_IRON_MAKING]
[NAME:make iron bars from weed]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:10:THREAD:NO_SUBTYPE:PLANT:WEED_IRON]
[PRODUCT:100:1:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:IRON]
[FUEL]

and this is the weed:

[MATGLOSS_PLANT:WEED_IRON]
[TILE:'i'][COLOR:0:0:1]
[NAME:iron weed][NAME_PLURAL:iron weeds]
[VALUE:2]
[DRINK:iron brew:0:0:1]
[DRINKVALUE:2]
[SEED:4:0:1]
[GENPOWER:2]
[THREAD]
[AUTUMN][WINTER]
[FREQUENCY:100]
[CLUSTERSIZE:5]
[BIOME:NOT_FREEZING]
[PREFSTRING:hard leaves]
[WET][DRY]

[Sean Mirrsen]

Alright, I'll shove it into a game and see how it works out.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Works fine for me.



(checking if multipost merging was implemented...)
(guess it wasn't)

[Deon]

Loctavus, you didn't answer, DID YOU regenerated a new world with this reaction to work?
It works fine for me too.

[Loctavus]

I thought I had but I must have changed something in the mean time.

It works!

Okay, I have now and it honestly does work now. Thanks for your help all of you, and I apologise if I came across as impatient 

If anyone wants to add these, please do.

Also, Sean what screen size setup are you using? I really don't like the oblong characters of the default resolution I'm using.

[Deon]

I suppose it's Dystopian graphics tileset.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Nope, Herrbdog's 12x12.
