Hmm. Quite nice. And IIUC only blocks are attainable. Great idea about limitations. Should go modify my plastic.

 ...yes, I've made plastic. Dwarves like it for it's shiny surface.

Possibly a stupid question, but would not be more simple to make trees drop multiple logs when felled?  Creating more hauling jobs but circumventing the whole "game doesn't know what a plank is" issue.
Or is this a hard coded value that you can't easily change?

It's hardcoded behavior, so how many logs a tree drops isn't changeable.

[bdog]

And as far as I know it's not possible to change "what" tree drops... so there's no way to force DF to drop "wooden unusable boulder" that could be processed into logs (but I hope that I'm wrong)

You should make the sawmill require a large serrated disc to build.

I wish there was a way for it to require power.

Have a MAGMA SAWMILL!!!

[Bishop36]

This works well with human fortresses. (following the human challenge rules from the wiki)

So made a "workshop_sawmill.txt" File in raw/objects, copied the text from the first post into it, fixed it up so it looked like the soap makers one (copy paste stuck it all one one line, so i just pressed enter a fair bit really), did the same for "reaction_plank.txt", put the bit in Plant_standard.txt, added the two lines in Entity_default.txt in the part for dwarves, aaand, no sawmill? am i missing something here?

[Vucar Fikodastesh]

I believe "workshop_sawmill.txt" needs to have "workshop_sawmill" at the top, not "building_custom".

[roqi]

Hm, I don't know; in my case, it works with building_custom. Perhaps you have forgotten to regen/edit the raws in your save file? I haven't tried the latter, so I don't know if a regen is really necessary.

"workshop_sawmill.txt"

That there is part of your problem. DF doesn't read all the files in the raw folder, only those with a name in a specific format. For buildings, the file needs to start with building_ , so building_sawmill.txt should work.

I just noticed that here, one log makes ten logs.
Those ten logs make a hundred logs.
That hundred logs makes even more logs.
Ten sawmills, ten logs of input, one in-game year. Then, the elves arrive, and get flooded with a literal storm of chopsticks.

I changed them to bricks my dear sir.

[Osdeath]

Ah, cheers, shortly after writing that post of mine, i saw a modding guide that had got bumped to the top of the page, read through that, and tagged the sawmill bits onto the end of build_custom, works fine now, cheers

Planks don's stockpile as wood or blocks. what should I do to keep the shop from being cluttered?
