Scratch pad to keep notes about mod ideas

== Best Practices ==

* You should prefer SELECT over CUT, and prefer CUT over not loading vanilla raws.

== Rainbow ==

Rainbow occurs rarely when [[Weather#Rain|rain]] ends. Dwarves like rainbow. Rainbow occurs 25% in good zone. Rainbow occurs 20% of the time after rain end normally. Rainbow occurs 10% of the time in evil zones. Rainbow is twice as lovely in evil zones. Rainbow isn't visually show; but instead an alert or other indication is given.

=== Notes from discord ===

Biome interactions control the stuff like evil rain, you can give certain biomes a weekly interaction that starts rain (so you know it happens). Dwarves get good thoughts through a syndrome: ''"Urist McLeprechaun felt hope due to witnessing a rainbow"'' (via DPh Kraken)

DFHack can read the weather of each biome present in a fort. So you can check if it's raining whenever you want to, and make rainbows when it starts or ends, or especially when it's raining in only one area. (via Rose the Elf)

I don't think there is a modtools/weather-trigger though. So without writing an automation trigger for weather, I don't know how you would automate it. Writing that script though should be extremely easy. You just modify one of the other modtools, and have it monitor the announcements log for weather stuff, instead of combat or whatever, and then you just have a file that specifies the command to run the   script every time "its raining."

== Food notes ==

to rename food portion- https://github.com/DF-Wiki/DFRawFunctions/blob/master/raws/v50/item_food.txt

Can I add DESCRIPTION		Allows a string to describe the tool when viewed. The text box can accommodate up to 325 characters until it cuts off, but the spacing of actual sentences puts the realistic limit closer to 300. Multiple DEFINITION tokens can be used in the same tool definition, with each appearing on a new line. to item food object?

How is food effect calculated? 

Can Syndrome be given? via Material? via Interactions? Yes both.
