Variable data in descriptions?

[Craphter]

So I have this farm which produces food, and in the basic description it says how much food it produces, but, it says "produces 20 food,", and I want it to be "produces <farm,fmade>" so each time I change the food it produces, I dont have to change the description... I tried different ways, but it won't work...
How do these "variable data" thingies work?

First of all, you need to turn on "Raw Data" (can be found in View -> Display values as raw data, or by pressing CTRL + D).

When that's done, this is how the code should look like:

<[rawcode of the unit],[rawcode of the value]>

A standard farm's raw code is "hhou" (which stands for human house) - a custom farm would be named "h000" or whatever.
The food-value is (as you already noticed) "fmade".

The problem is that this doesn't work for a lot of values (food would be one of them).
I tried HP, sight, gold/lumber cost, build time and many more - the only one that worked was HP.
Things with "Data" in front of it usually work and damage as well.

Basically: you'll have to do it manually.

Hmm, I suspected It wouldn't work for all fields... Well then, thanks man +rep
