Mineral Powders

I found an error and have a fix:

The error trap throws the issue:
SAND_OBSIDIAN:Unrecognized Inorganic Material Definition Token: USE_MATERIAL

In the entity_patch_powerder file, the line for obsidian sand was:
[USE_MATERIAL:OBSIDIAN] instead of
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:OBSIDIAN]

@hog_jockey thanks you for the quick fix!

@Stale coocie You can go into the Stone Use submenu of the Labor menu and mark specific economic stones to be okay for non-economic use.

This mod turns a whole bunch or rocks into economic, which in turn really messes up manager orders. You can have hundreds of stones, but since they don't count as non-economic anymore, manager orders won't trigger. But if you change the condition from 'non-economic hard rock' into just 'hard rock', it will count all the ores as well which will results in situations when the order is triggered but can't be fulfilled because all the rock you have is prohibited from non-economic usage.

Some of the powders are usable as dyes but it's primarily to set up materials for use in other mods. Check some of your dwarves with this installed and you might notice they have socks dyed with malachite or similar. It correctly colors the clothing.

What does grinding ore into powder actually do? Does it generate more Bars to smelt powder rather then bars?

my dwarves refuse to smelt hematite powder the job cancels saying theres no ore

I really wish that mods like this said what the various uses are for.

In-game, this mod says Dwarven Chemistry is a requirement, while this workshop page doesn't mention it. Also, having issues creating a new world with some of your mods - errors showing up in the errorlog (weapons/chemistry/trees). Not complaining though, just mentioning it - I've read about your tricky situation (I'll be in my own tricky situation soon unfortunately). I'll look forward to trying your mods in the future.

All of your comments are appreciated! I'm sorry I haven't been able to update this in a while, I'm kinda homeless irl for the time being. When I can I will update with your suggestions in mind. Thank you all!
