You could. The kitchen has always accepted custom reactions. Just define your wanted food items like sausages or pies or scones or fine wines in item_food.txt and have your own cookery broilery reactions call those as the end results instead of being just variants for the basic jobs. GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT should let the reagents name the end products like normal, too.

You could even stick ITEM_REACTION_PRODUCT tokens in all sorts of meats and plants and other raw materials and just have a single "just make some goddamn grub" reaction. It'd randomly pick anything edible and it'd output bread or ribs or oatmeal depending on what the chef found that time.

The only real crimp is that the old basic reactions are still there, all bothersome like.

Oh dang, I didn't know that was possible, thanks! I'll have to play around with it when I have spare time.

Is it possible to remove the basic reactions or are they hardcoded/things break in myriad fun ways if you try?

They're not even reactions in the sense that we understand it. They're just tasks, numbers in the same index with eating, tantruming and having strange moods.

However, DFHack does technically have something in the API for stripping hardcoded jobs from workshops. I'm saying technically because not only am I too poo poo at lua to work the command line, I thought I heard someone griping a while back that it was broken somehow. I managed to make some progress back in fall, but I think I hit a wall or something.

Have you heard about First Dog? It's a very good comic I just love.

Also, wear your bike helmets kids. I copped several blows to the head but my helmet left me totally unscathed.



Finally you should check out First Dog as it's a good comic I like it very much.

my IRL job is sewer inspector and I'm hella disappointed that there is no dwarf fortress poop model. Imagine a communal toilet with a 'poo poo' fluid that you have to pipe out of the fortress or simply dump into the caverns below.
Toady has explicitly ruled out doing that. The kinds of horrors players would get up to with it does not bear thinking about.

I only did the offerings thing once back a few versions ago, but back then the game only counted stuff that your fortress has produced as offerings, so just loading up the caravans with offerings of whatever the goblins happened to be wearing when you killed them wouldn't count.

Help I'm dumb and modding is hard :negative:

I'm trying to make foods that make more sense. As a simple test, I stuck this in the item_food file:

quote:

[ITEM_FOOD:ITEM_FOOD_TEST]
[NAME:test]
[LEVEL:4]

And I put this in the reaction_other file:

quote:

[REACTION:MAKE_TEST]
[NAME:make test]
[BUILDING:KITCHEN:CUSTOM_S]
[REAGENT:A:3:PLANT:NONE:NONE:NONE][UNROTTEN]
[REAGENT:B:1:MEAT:NONE:NONE:NONE][UNROTTEN]
[PRODUCT:100:4:FOOD:ITEM_FOOD_TEST:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:B:NONE]
[SKILL:COOK]

When the reaction is queued up, the dwarves gather up their ingredients and start cooking the item just fine, but when they're just about to finish it the game crashes. No output to the errorlog. There must be something wrong with the way I defined the product, but I'm not sure what it is.

Quietust's diagnosis posted:

In all likelihood, the problem is that reactions cannot create the ingredients used to make the meal, and without the ingredients the meal has trouble determining what it's made of.

I was talking in good faith, though. :( Looks like that project's back on the shelf.

You have to make them replace clothing instead of wear over. Once all their gear is on, you can tell them to wear over clothing again and they'll put their old stuff back on over their armour.

I have only had a single death below ground to the magma, the worst dwarf killer is the bridge into the fortress above the volcano, Kea's would swoop down and peck at wandering dwarves, making them fall into the lava.

Ballistas do cutting damage right? If so then it would definitely help against the zombies.

The conventional wisdom is that a properly made dwarven ballista missile will turn two elephants into four smaller, deader elephants.

Looking at the rest of the log in addition to the "no force!" attacks there were some deflected by clothing and actually a couple instances of bruising.

That would be amazing. You could go the route of making a tileset that consists of Chinese characters maybe, but I don't think that's what you're going for. Making them recognizable at 32x32 or less pixels might be hard.

Honestly disappointed to see this, this was my problem with .40 too where I go to evil embarks or high savage embarks and the most threatening thing to come my way was when my horses went berserk from eating evil grass. I wanted to fight beakdogs and harpies and trolls, all I got were regular fauna like deer and giant versions of rodents.

With evil embarks you etierh get normal, boring wildlife or zombie birds that you can't keep out divebombing and wrecking dwarves before you can react. I spent hours trying to find an evil embark that wasn't undead poo poo and I could not find one.
