I apologize for the newb questions but..

What are the steps I would need to do take to give my dwarves the ability to use a chunk of hard stone (like diorite or granite) as an anvil?



And while we are at it, the same article where I found those stone anvil pictures talks about harvesting iron nodules from peat bogs, it would be quite interesting to be able to harvest iron ore from peat layers like sand from sand layers...

When a layer of peat in the bog is cut and pulled back using turf knives (right), pea sized nodules of bog iron can be found and harvested. Although the iron nodules are reasonably pure, there aren't many of them. They are, however, a renewable resource. About once each generation, the same bog can be re-harvested.

One second. Working on mod...

[gtmattz]

Hrm, I could probably add iron ore as a small cluster stone in peat?

I discovered why it took me so long to make this work. Damn typos. Here is the stone anvil mod with custom workshop (I don't know what the building name is for mason's workshops so I made a custom workshop). You know where to add these things right?

I checked and it works. And ignore the weird indenting below entity.

Sweet thanks!

Was finally able to try it, everything works great, thanks again!

Glad to help.

Just a question but you didn't happen to stumble upon this by visiting the Craftybits Forums at The Wormhole did you?
That particular article caused us to bring in peat bog iron harvesting to Oblivion.

It's called goethite and I have it in Genesis.

Also thanks for the stone anvil idea.

[vhappylurker]

This is a most dwarfly mod. I approve greatly!

[TomiTapio]

Hmm which ore would be the best for such anvilmaking...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohs_scale_of_mineral_hardness
maybe Orthoclase (hardness 6), Tetrahedrite (only "somewhat brittle").
I recommend Mica. Maybe Hornblende and Gneiss too.

Anyways would be easier in the smelter to pour molten metal into a clay/sand/wood/STONE mold.
Insert stone coffer and fuel and iron ore into smelter, out comes an iron anvil!

"brittle, showing little or no resistance to breakage, and as such separating into fragments under the blow of a hammer or when cut by a knife (most silicate minerals are brittle); and elastic, capable of being bent or pulled out of shape but returning to the original form when relieved (mica is elastic)."

[claer_runway]

you don't want a hard anvil, you want a tough anvil. old anvils are covered in bumps. they need to have a little give.
