First I would like to say, I am enjoying this game immensely. Its been a really steep learning wall to get around, but I am at the point, where I can sustain a colony pretty well.

Now however, I have reached a point, where I want to try out Magma workshops. Okay, as I understand it, what I have to have basically, is the following

code:

  
Floor forge is on
     XXXXXXX
     XXX....
     XXX_...
     XXX...X
     XXXXXXX
Floor directly below
     MMMMXXX
     MMMMXXX
     MMMMXXX
     MMMMXXX
     MMMMXXX
X=wall
.=floor
_=empty space (a hole in the ground)
M=magma

Getting that set up is pretty darn easy. I can get something like that set up real fast, no dwarves die, and everything is cool. When I go to build the Forge over the top of it in the 3x3 room I made, the one spot that I put the hole in, keeps coming up as blocking the forge. Am I missing something important? Is there just some step I am jumping over that I am not understanding?

On another topic, does anyone know, that if you use alchohol to make a prepared meal, does it count for the dwarves as drinking alchohol as well? What I mean is, if I use up all my alchohol to make meals, will the get upset without it, or do the meals satisfy that need?

Thank you for your help.

You don't put the dark green build spot on the magma, just the bright green ones.

No, cooked alcohol does not count as drinking (because it isn't a liquid anymore).

The magma forge is a different type of workshop from the regular forge, and with it either the dark green or light green edge tiles can go over the magma (whereas a standard forge wouldn't let you stick anything out over the edge). Are you sure you're selecting magma forge (I think the hotkey for it is [v])?

Okay, I must be completely blind, because I look through the list of all the buildings I can place, and I dot see magma workshops anywhere.

Okay, guess I was blind.... I am a complete idiot so ignore me, I will head back to the shadows.

Thanks for your help.
