Help with clay!
« on: February 20, 2011, 05:03:51 pm »
How to work with clay? I have tons of clay laying on the Zones(dont call me cheater if I use 'raw clay' to build things,lol) and I have a kiln, but when everything except 'collet clay' is red and when I click on the red jobs, it just show the reagents/products.

'REAGENTS: FIRED_MAT-producing stones  PRODUCTS: FIRED_MAT <clay item> Takes place at Kiln or Magma Kiln    Requires fuel'

Is clay bugged, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for help. And sorry if its a obvious question.

Do you have charcoal or coke?  It needs fuel.

well its not just the fuel. For some reason dwarves wont build things in the kiln from a stockpile. Just don't use stone stockpiles... I didnt know people still did tbh.

I think there may be some more pitfalls.  I had a kiln fairly deep underground (since that's where my charcoal was...).  When I set up a clay zone up by the surface and collected some, the jobs didn't activate in the kiln.  Maybe it was too far away?  Maybe it needed to be kicked in the pants?  I don't know... but when I dumped the clay to a spot closer to the kiln and then unforbade it, the jobs became available.

Was there any clay in any stockpiles at some point?  Stockpiles are causing some problems.
