So, while searching at 70Z or so for magma, I found my first Adamantine. I mined out a bit of it (about... 30 raws?) to see what I could do with it. I figured out to extract the strands, but now I'm not sure how to get them into wafers or bars or whatever.

I have located the strands, so I know they're in a pile and accounted for:


However, there's no option in the smelter to use them and the forge won't do anything.

For the option to make adamantine wafers and magma forges you need to discover the great magma sea and then they'll be activated. I'd be careful if I were you.

This has nothing to do with magma forges - there's nothing in the raws to make the "make adamantine wafers" reaction require a magma smelter (back in the old 2D version you needed magma, but back then reactions weren't customizeable).

What's happened is that your smelters are out of synch with what materials they actually have available. Simply put in a work order (u-m-q or j-m-q) and they'll be made, then the option should show up properly in your smelters.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
