I built on a map with no stone where it wouldn't be flooded immediately, driving my dwarves away before they can get it. I asked the dwarven caravan to bring blocks, and they did.

However, now I still can't make a magma glass furnace because I have no "magma-safe materials". Okay, I'll us some of my plentiful wood to- "Need fire-safe material". I have pig iron, brass, and copper bars, and granite, mudstone, schist, and claystone blocks. I'm pretty sure at least one of those things should be at least fireproof, is not magma-proof. What am I doing wrong?

Basically... you can't use blocks to build furnaces for some reason or another. you must use raw stone.

yes it kinda sucks.

... oh god damn it. I have no stone close enough to the surface of the water table to get it. I can't order raw stone from the caravan. I hope I can pump some water onto the magma and make some i can mine out.
