Correction to my last post regarding file changes. I had multiple installations of the games and was editing the wrong file...because I'm an idiot that likes extra work. After following the instructions that @Opslon provided, the fix was immediate and the mod works fine. I did make the changes to both the "reaction_custom_creationforge.txt" and the "entity_patch_creationforge.txt" since I have addition mods that look at the # remarks. I doubt most people will need to reference those, but even if you do, it is only a bit of FIND -> REPLACE work. I did test it on a number of random world creations and none failed. Thanks to Opslon for hitting the nail on the head.

Wish this was updated and working was one of the only ways i could really enjoy the game shame hope it gets updated again at some point if anyone has a perma fix i please post i tried what was explained below but it does not work

@Opslon. That was indeed the issue, but then I run into the same problem with the entity_patch_creationforge file. Each time I would fix the files, it would revert back to the original problem during load. I only started troubleshooting the files and installation, so I'm sure there is a fix, but did you also see a problem with "entity_patch_creationforge" when you edited the files?

I did a fix on your file and I'll document it here.
If in any case this mod dev want my file feel free to contact me on my email "manyvac@gmail.com"



Duplicates fix on file reaction_custom_creationforge.txt

--------------------------------
FREE_CONTAINER_FLASK_DRAGONSCALE
missing
[REACTION:FREE_CONTAINER_FLASK_DRAGONSCALE_10]
the name "[REACTION:FREE_CONTAINER_FLASK_DRAGONSCALE]" was duplicated i just added the _10 on the other that makes 10 units
--------------------------------
Also duplicate on same file
FREE_ARMOR_SETOF_LEATHER_10

the name "[REACTION:FREE_ARMOR_SETOF_LEATHER]" was missing it have the _10 on where it just makes one unit
--------------------------------
FREE_ADAMANTINE_BLOCKS_100

[REACTION:FREE_ADAMANTINE_BLOCKS_100] was duplicated, so the reaction with 10 got fixed to [REACTION:FREE_ADAMANTINE_BLOCKS_10]
--------------------------------

(Error) Duplicate Object: reaction FREE_ADAMANTINE_BLOCKS_100. Further duplicates will be printed to errorlog; worldgen will abort.

@Cheznut Thank you for this, but It's ok only to correct the errors - 10 instead of 100 bars or so in the name

Thanks!

Appreciate it Nev.

I'm planning to adapt it to the new modding framework but no ETA yet. My intention would be to have this done within weeks or faster. Again, no ETA.

This mod needs to be updated or remade stat

I've managed to get around the duplicate problem by deleting the reactions from:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dwarf Fortress\data\installed_mods\creationforge (502000)\objects\reaction_custom_creationforge.txt"

Edit for your own file path.

Other reactions to delete can be found in the error log

Duplicate Object: reaction FREE_ARMOR_SETOF_LEATHER_10
Duplicate Object: reaction FREE_CONTAINER_FLASK_DRAGONSCALE

I am also getting the error creating a new world

anyone figured out how to solve it?

Duplicate Object: reaction FREE_ADAMANTINE_BLOCKS_100.

Found an issue where free adamantine, free leather armor, and free dragon scale flask are duplicated. This prevents the mod from loading properly even when placed in the current load order

Tried loading this solo and at end of load order, only 1 other mod, and getting a duplicate entry free adamantite(?) 100 error. This is terminating world gen so I can't even load it.

i might need some help ,i do can find and build the creation forge,but i cant click the task for the forge or more like there no task to create anything in it..

can confirm that it still works.

BUT you have to 1. generate a new world and 2. put the forge at the absolute bottom of your mod load order.

Mod does still work (as of 51.01-beta27, Dec 2024) as long as you put it last in your load order.

At least, it does for me.

the forge isn't showing up in game when i try to use it. generated new worlds made sure it was on the mod list and everything.

Doesn't work

I am hoping i can find where the forge is in game

ive never gotten this bastard to work, and never tried that hard.

i really expected to see more mods by now for DF. hope it doesnt die.

hi i just want u to know that this mod is amazing! u have my thanks!

Apparently the shy nobles broke my game. ignore last post.

Anyone know how to get this to work. I had it installed during world creation and still not under workshops.

If you can't find it, make sure you "activated" the mod when you Created the world.
Must be a new world.

i cant find the option to build the forge where is it located

I just spent close to half a day trying to make this mod work with some modded races I also added.

I tried following the Compatibility guide to the letter, but it never worked - I thought the ENTITY:NAME were wrong but I checked them 10 times each.

So the solution?

The folders in the guide are dead wrong.

No, the path isn't C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dwarf Fortress\mods\2898393468 (version number of the mod)

The ACTUAL path is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dwarf Fortress\installed_mods\creationforge (502000)\objects

The moment I edited the entity_patch_creationforge.txt there, it showed up under Workshops for my custom races after I generated a new world.

I'm a new player so I have no idea if DF changed the paths for mods or what happened, but the guide is outdated and wrong.

Works great! 6/12/24

i have the mod but nothing shows up under workshops

Works perfectly fine
27.05.2024

will not work in 2024, tried installing the mods and all the requirements and i get errors trying to world gen with them

Does it do modded animals like golden geese?

Cant place it because not in the list of workshops

For some reason this mod breaks my game. I figure it doesnt appear sometimes because it doesnt support any custom race, however with Creation Forge on, autosaves crash and abandoning (not retiring) a fortress makes the world unusable. Unfortunate!

I added the mod but there is nothing new under workshops or furnaces

Never mind, lmao. I'm just super tired and misread a bit of it. I just need to put in some work and make the particular race I want to play as have both the workshop and the minecarts.

Thanks for this mod. It makes casual colony building fun and easy. Like, just experimenting with new designs for visual aesthetics rather than function.

Does it then work for All Races Controllable by MC? I didn't see it on the list of compatible ones but I assume it works the same way. The only problem is that the races from that mod make other shit unavailable like minecarts. But that's more an issue on their part.

Yes, for a how to check the pinned post in Discussions.

Is there any way for this mod to be used in conjunction with other playable races? It's kind of sad not being able to use this mod with the one that lets you play as any other civ on the generated map. Don't know if there's an easy way to manually make it available to all civs.

For this purpose I do really like using the Dwarven atom smasher [dwarffortresswiki.org].

I have a lot of extra stuff I dont need anymore becuase of this mod. Is there a kind of incinerator mod that lets me get rid of items I dont want/need anymore or could something be added that is the opposite that has input but no output to get rid of it?

Unsubscribed from the mod, uninstalled it or changed something. As always check if the mod shows up in the folder data\installed_mods\creationforge (50xxxx) . Subfolder objects must contain four files. Try to re-subscribe.

Loading up my save game causes a crash that displays the following:
FATAL ERROR!
missing building defintion: CREATION_FORGE

Basically yes. Might take some tinkering.

Hey can we change the material used to make items through editing? Like if I wanted to use dragon steel from the Aeramore mod instead of adamantine, can I simply replace it in the file listed above?

You don't anymore as it was only a temporary, crude and now deprecated approach to something DFHack solves much better, more elegant and expansive than a mod ever could. Specifically the command armoks-blessing [docs.dfhack.org] is what you are looking for.

where can i get your other mod the Pinnacle of Dwarvenhood

Load order is a key to success! Thank you very much!
