Edit:  Success!  At least, a partial success.  Now progress on my elf-bone tower can begin.  I think I'll also try playing around with changing the appearance of the custom workshop.  Right now it looks just like the soap maker's workshop.  Changed!  Now my bone quarry looks like this:



Here's what I ended up doing.

OK, so I'm a total modding newb.  I've taken a look around the forum and the wiki, and I think I have the beginning of an idea of what to do, but I wanted to ask you guys whether I doing anything wrong.  It's a bit confusing trying to figure out which information is still current.

I want to be able to turn bones into blocks.  I plan on making a custom workshop that uses a custom reaction to create these blocks.

It seems like I can do this fairly simply by adding this to the reaction_other.txt:

Code: [Select]

[[REACTION:CONDENSE_BONE_BLOCKS]
     [NAME:Condense Bone Blocks]
     [BUILDING:BONE CONDENSER]

     [PRODUCT:100:1:BLOCKS:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:BONE]
     [SKILL:BONECARVE]
And adding this to building_custom.txt:

Questions:

• Will this work?  If not, what am I doing wrong?
• I've read about reactions treating stacks as a single object.  Is there a way I can require 10 bones (whether stacked or not) to produce one block?
• Will this produce a "bone block"?  if not, can I fix that?

Thanks for your help!

P.S. This is essentially what I'd like to create.

you also have to allow the race you are using to be able to use the reaction under it's entity file.

[3]

Code: [Select]

     [PRODUCT:100:1:BLOCKS:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:BONE]

BONE is not a type of stone.

The following may work (or not):

Code: [Select]

[PRODUCT:100:1:BLOCKS:NO_SUBTYPE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:1:NONE]

Awesome, thank you.

Good to know.  I added

Code: [Select]

[PERMITTED_REACTION:CONDENSE_BONE_BLOCKS] to the dwarf entry in entity_default.txt

[Graebeard]

So, I genned up a new world, and the first thing I notice is that I can't seem to build the workshop.  There's just no entry for it under the {w}orkshops menu.

Did I make a mistake of some kind?  I checked the raws in the save folder, and I see that my Bone_Condenser is there.

Code: [Select]

[[REACTION:CONDENSE_BONE_BLOCKS]
     [NAME:Condense Bone Blocks]
     [BUILDING:BONE CONDENSER]

   
Should be:

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:CONDENSE_BONE_BLOCKS]
     [NAME:Condense Bone Blocks]
     [BUILDING:BONE_CONDENSER]
And   

Code: [Select]

[BUILDING_WORKSHOP:Bone_Condenser]
     [NAME:Bone Condenser]

   
Should be:

Code: [Select]

[BUILDING_WORKSHOP:BONE_CONDENSER]
     [NAME:Bone Condenser]   
You should also add the workshop to the dwarf entity if you haven't already:

Code: [Select]

[PERMITTED_BUILDING:BONE_CONDENSER]

[Graebeard]

Excellent, that fixed the problem.

Now, I've run into another.  I can't que a job; there's no "Condense Bone Blocks" option...

I've enabled the labor in the entity file.  Could the problem be with this product, or is something else more likely?

Code: [Select]

[PRODUCT:100:1:BLOCKS:NO_SUBTYPE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:1:NONE]
Edit:  OK, I think I fixed that issue.  Now I've got something else.  The bone carver ran over and picked up a dwarven wine barrel and made it into a tower-cap block...

Edit 2: I knew there had to be a thread about this somewhere.  I finally found this one.  Using the reagent and products from that thread my workshop turned a stack of donkey bones into a "donkey bone block".

Now I'm going to see if it's possible to do this somehow with, say, 10 individual bones rather than a single bone or a single stack regardless of the number of bones in the stack.

[veok]

How hard would it be to modify the reaction to make bone bins as well? (Or can you do that by manipulating the bone RAWs alone?

[3]

Assuming you're using the reaction in the linked thread, you'd only have to replace BLOCKS with BIN.

[Graebeard]

Ninja'd.  But I'll post anyway.

I imagine it would be pretty simple.  I just updated the OP with all the things I did that worked.  I'm guessing that you could just create another reaction for bins:

[REACTION:CONDENSE_BONE_BLOCKS]

   [PRODUCT:100:1:BIN:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:bones:NONE]
   [SKILL:BONECARVE]

Actually, I may as well give it a try right now and let you know.

[inEQUALITY]

ing to see if it's possible to do this somehow with, say, 10 individual bones rather than a single bone or a single stack regardless of the number of bones in the stack.

If you still don't know how to do that, just change the '1' in the reagent to '10' or whatever number you want. I'm 99.9% sure that specifies how much of the reagent is needed for the reaction.

[Graebeard]

I figured that part out, but I don't think it'll do quite what I want.  I think if I change that to 10 it will require 10 stacks of bone rather than 10 bones.

I don't actually think I can do what I want without first separating the bones into individual stacks first, and that's just too much dorf labor for what I have in mind.

[veok]

Next step is to mod in skull blocks too.
