My otherwise un-objectionable baron has made a demand for a crystal glass window in his bedroom.  Okay, let's see...

--I have 9 peices of raw crystal glass.  But when I try to make the window it says needs pearlash.

--I try to make pearlash, but I need potash.  So I make potash, but the option to make pearlash is still red in the Kiln.

Do I have what I need to make the window?  Any reason why I'm struggling to make pearlash?  How bad is it to not meet a demand?

Thanks!

Failing a demand results in a mild unhappy thought for the noble and not really anything else. Failing mandates are the ones that will get innocent dwarves jailed and/or beaten.

In order to make a crystal glass window, you need rough rock crystals and pearlash (and fuel) - the former are gotten from mining, and the latter may be failing due to burrow problems (order it from the Job Manager and it should work).

A mildly unhappy thought for a noble!! Oh no!! Whatever shall I do?

<mumble, grumble> Nobles give me a mildly unhappy thought.  <grumble>


But joking aside, I torn down and rebuilt my kiln and now I am able to make pearlash.  So we'll see where this leads.

You don't make windows or other items out of raw glass; you make them out of the raw materials themselves. In this case, out of the rock crystals and pearlash. All you can do with "raw glass" is use it as a gemstone.

Yeah, I found that out.  Now the task is cancelling for the right reason -- No glass-making rough gems.  Maybe I can get lucky with the next caravan.

Thanks

Caravans don't bring rough gems. If you don't have rock crystal on-site, you can't make crystal glass items.
