Carve Settings

Description

Carves one item from stone or bone (Engineering). It studies the recipe, takes your material and works it through every step the game asks for: cutting with a chisel or saw, rubbing with rifflers or a rasp, polishing, and assembling parts such as hilts, poles or cords.

workorders runs it for carving work orders. It doesn't buy materials, so have your stone or bone ready when running it yourself.

See Crafting Setup for engineering tools, toolbelts and books.

Tools

carving_tools:
  - chisels
  - rasp
  - rifflers
  - bone saw
carving_belt:
engineering_belt:
crafting_container: backpack
crafting_items_in_container:

Setting	Default	Purpose
carving_tools	chisels, rasp, rifflers	Your carving tools. The cutting tool is found here: your chisels for stone, your saw for bone.
carving_belt		Toolbelt your carving tools hang on. Falls back to engineering_belt.
crafting_container	backpack	Where the material, parts, polish and the recipe book are kept.
crafting_items_in_container		Items to take only from crafting_container, such as polish.

For bone, add your saw to carving_tools; the default list has no saw. If you've set engineering_tools, the cutting tool is looked up there instead of in carving_tools.

The rifflers, rasp, polish and your stamp are taken by name when a step needs them. Polish isn't restocked, so keep some on hand.

The recipe

It uses your master_crafting_book if set, otherwise a carving book from crafting_container.

Magic and buffs

Other settings

Setting	Default	Purpose
mark_crafted_goods	false	Mark the finished item with your stamp.

How carving is handled

There are no settings for these; this is what to expect.

• Material. It takes <material> <type> from your inventory, for example alabaster rock or wolf stack.
  • A material too heavy to lift is carved where it lies.
  • A boulder is always carved where it lies.
  • A deed is tapped to bring out the material first.
• Parts. When the item needs a part (a hilt, a haft, a pole or a cord), it takes the part from crafting_container and assembles it.
• When it's done, your tools are stowed and you're left holding the finished item (marked, if mark_crafted_goods is on).

Argument Settings

Carve an item:

;carve <chapter> "<recipe name>" <material> <type> <noun>

Argument	Purpose
chapter	The recipe's chapter.
recipe name	The recipe name, in double quotes if more than one word.
material	The stone or bone, e.g. alabaster or wolf.
type	What the material is: stack (bone), rock, stone, pebble, boulder or deed.
noun	The finished item's noun.

Resume an item:

;carve resume <bone|stone> <noun>

It checks what the item needs next and carries on. Use bone or stone so it picks the right cutting tool.

;carve 5 "a bone totem" wolf stack totem

;carve resume stone block
