It worked when I had:
A barrel with 7 water;
A bag with 3 dog bone powder;
and the yellow sand bags.
Worked for the 3 bone powder

ok I wasn't going crazy, the reactions are failing sometimes and working other times, here's what in the magma kiln right now:
Exceptional bayberry barrel with one unit of water;
Cave spider silk bag with yellow sand;
guineafow leather bag with 12 units of giant cow bone meal;

The reaction is not working with these items.

good news and... wierd... "news"?
The good news the reaction is working now, the wierd news, I have 0 idea why it wasn't working

I checked the boneflux files of my currently installed version and the most recent workshop version and they are the same

i tried on a magma and normal kiln both didn't wornk but the normal kiln did use the charcoal

That is weird. I tested it and managed to produce a boulder before publishing
Are you sure it isn't just getting cancelled? If it isn't using the reagents it means that the reaction isn't actually being performed
You need a bag of bone meal, a bag of sand and some water in a bucket or barrel

the reaction to make the boneflux boulder doesnt seem to be working, my dwarf will bring the ingredients to a kiln and start the reaction, but when its finished it simply produces nothing and doesn't use any of the ingredients

Use the "process unusual plant" reaction at the farmers workshop to turn it into a gem

Hey what are gem-caps used for?

@Grom I can see what I've done now. It turns out the token I used only allows you to choose the item type for butchering them, not the material as well.
I'll have a go at fixing it in the next update, but I'm not sure if I can do it for active forts

It's supposed to produce steel bars when you butcher it. I'll have a closer look and see if its working or not

I got steelboar armor from steel boars, which takes form of bars but it looks like there is no task related to it. I cant craft armor from it, cant use it as a leather, cant find anything on the task list that do anything with it.

Hmm. I suspect it's a uniform issue, unless I've made a mistake somewhere. I think that prior to the last update you needed to use the default ranged uniform for it to work, maybe the same is happening here?
I think the scattering is probably just the new marksdwarf behaviour

First of all, I'm loving the mod! I like the race diversity and it's very !!FUN!! to have sieges nearly every season alternating between orcs, goblins, and humans. Goblinite ended up being my main source of mithril which I also like for its lightness.

Only issue I'm having is that the hand cannons don't seem to be working for me. The squad can equip them and pick up shells properly, but when stationed in response to enemies, they scatter like unarmed civilians. I tested them out against some released prisoners and they only started shooting like normal after I gave them a crossbow loadout instead. Also when I tried stationing the hand cannon squad to shoot a problematic visitor, nothing happened and the visitor turned aggressive immediately. This is the only content mod I'm running (rest are all QOL), and I'm not sure if it's something on my end, but I'd love to get some firearms going with the new ranged fix.

I just had a look at it and yeah, it overrides entities as well. As it is the two mods are incompatible but would fairly simple to do a compatibility patch if you know your way around the raws

It's called "The Way Words Work", and it's intended simply to make names sound more reasonable. It overrides languages, but I didn't think it would override buildings... I was hoping that maybe the building was still in there somewhere, and I could maybe spawn it in using DFHack, but I don't see any command that would even do that... It's a real shame.

Ah OK! I dont know if your fort is salvageable from that point of view though :(
FFF cuts and redefines the dwarf civilisation raws, and it sounds like another mod you've added might do the same thing. Unfortunately they'll just be incompatible without a patch mod
What other mods are you using?

Actually, I figured it out! I created a bunch of tiny worlds with different mods and found an offending conflict. It also matters what order they're loaded in. So now, the real question is... can I somehow alter my save to account for this so I don't have to start over?

https://imgur.com/a/KbUnQce I swear it's not in here, in the base workshop menu or the furnace menu. I tried clicking the blank spaces, or maybe seeing if it had a hotkey, but I got nothing. Any ideas? Everything else from the mod seems present, including the races and the metals I want to start smelting and crafting with.

I installed through steam and it wouldn't show up in the mod list, then installed manually and am getting this error:

Palette not found

Not found: data/installed_mods/FANTASTIC_FANTASY_FORTRESS(32)/graphics/images/dwarf/dwarf_body_palettes.png

I checked the folder and the file is definitely there so I'm not sure what the issue is

I don't see the Blast Furnace anywhere, unfortunately. What would make it not show up? I have a few more mods, but I don't think anything that should conflict...

High elf petitioners are hilarious with their inverted cave adaptation and interactions. Just had one petition for residency, only to break down in despair at having been "separated from the heavens" immediately after it being granted.

It should be in the general workshop list

Heyo. Loving the mod. Just started to get my magma forges up, and... question: where is the "Blast Furnace" located in the UI? I don't see it in the list of furnace workshops, or anywhere else for that matter.

A small bugfix/tweak update. Moved the boil water reaction to the still, renamed it and removed the fuel requirement. Fixed the boneflux making reaction, changed the name of thatch blocks, gold ore is now more common, tweaked puffballs to make puffball tonic available at embark instead of blackpuff tincture

Update time!
I have update all the ranged weapons to use the new weapon tokens, and have rebalanced them against vanilla crossbows. Siege crossbows, longbows and boomsticks are all much better but slower than crossbows and are roughly equally effective. Hand cannons are really slow but still very effective
Adds vanilla FB graphics back in. Changed empty bucket reaction to fill bucket reaction and added another empty bucket reaction. Fixed orihalcum production. Get seeds from "process unusual plants' reaction. Fixed unigoat wool. Fixed dragon summon caste names. Renamed cavern bee mead. Tweaked portraits to show helmets

New stuff! A reaction to grind bones to bonemeal, boil booze and extract the water from it and make flux boulders from bonemeal, sand and water. I also made a reaction to make thatch blocks from some plants

Can we please get screenshots? ^^

Fun mod! Had a great playthrough in a savage jungle/ocean and some of the new creatures were very neat. The new metals are fun, and a great way to incentivize getting lava for the blast forge ones.

Noice thank you.

Fair enough. The main issue with the mod description is that I'm up against the character limit and it makes updating it annoying
Blackpuff tincture is the toxic one
8 new plants, 4 have seeds
There is no readme (although that is a good idea), the mod description and the forum page are the best at the moment.
Orihalcum and titansteel are both adamantine alloys

Also you should make it clear that puffball (non-golden) tonic is toxic in the main description. I've been embarking with it because its only 1 value. My dwarves have been throwing up almost immediately every single time and I thought I was doing something wrong. Also would explain why nobody is injured but is coughing up blood soon after embark.

I have two questions:
1. Are there any new plants with seeds added? So I can adjust my seed cap.
2. Is there a document with relvenat infomation concerning the added weapons, tweaks, new materials? For example making orihalcum.

@Silhouette If you're using Vanilla Weapon Overhaul and its patch for this mod, it's a load order issue that causes picks and axes to not be available on embark.

The load order that fixes this is:
1. Vanilla Weapon Overhaul
2. Fantastic Fantasy Fortress
3. VWO Patch - Fantastic Fantasy Fortress

Yes, any "thrown" weapon uses that skill

and throwing daggers and other throwing weapons use the "blowgunner" skills?

ooooohhh gotcha, ty author

Blowgunner. Different races got different names

like what does scout corrospond too? sorry for the numerous questions author.

i see, and they all correspond to their respective weapons? is there a list of changes on here or the forums that i can check for all the things you've added

Not a bug, that's deliberate. There's a bunch of new throwing weapons that use the blowgunner skill and I changed what the game calls a blowgunner to reflect that

hi author i keep getting these weird skill levels called rogue and scout. the descriptions seem to point at blowgun but i feel like that might be a bug

thank you for the prompt reply. I love this mod

@pandaman can you link the mod? I can't find it
If you mean creature graphics extended redux, then no it isn't

Hi does this mod work with GSE redux?

@Naesh Dark elves exist as a cavern race already. Unfortunately the cavern invasions were disabled a couple of weeks after I added them lol

any plans to add drow into the mix? that would be supercool

1000 subscribers!!! Woohoo!!
Hope everyone is enjoying the mod

I'm not sure what's causing that as this mod doesn't touch the vanilla weapons. Maybe try re downloading?

This mod seems to replace all dwarves' picks and axes with whackas and skirmisher's axes, and now they're unable to dig or cut trees.

Another update!
- Slight nerf to orihalcum & titansteel, both are a bit worse than divine metal and can now be melted by dragonfire.
- Scales have been made tannable
- Tough leather for both normal leather and scales. This is obtained from large non-giant creatures (size 750000ish and up) as well as all giant creatures, and is around twice as tough as normal leather
