Where's pearlash?
« on: December 20, 2014, 07:56:09 pm »
I've stumbled upon a little over two hundred rock crystals, so I'd like to make some crystal glass to sell. But guess what? I don't see any option at the kiln to make pearlash. I've got potash, ash, and rock crystals, but no pearlash anywhere, or an option to make it. Where is it?

If any of them are made of fire, throw stuff, run, and think non-flammable thoughts.

Can you order the job from the manager screen?

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

Actually it's at a kiln, but good guess. Make sure you have one before you get angry at your dwarves for not making pearlash...

:-/ The ashery is one of the least used buildings I have.  Right ahead of the millstone.

A dwarf grabbed the necessary material and went to the kiln, made pearlash.

Actually, that seems to be historically accurate if the pearlash (aka potassium carbonate) wiki is reliable...

Pearlash is potash baked and purified in a kiln. It should be better than potash. If it is not, then that is the bug - the increased purity should make it more effective.

On the item is an image of a dwarf and an elephant. The elephant is striking down the dwarf.

For old times' sake.
