"need 1 copper bars"?
« on: November 27, 2013, 05:09:16 pm »

Whenever I try to forge some menacing copper spikes, it says "[whoever] cancels Forge menacing copper spikes: Needs 1 copper bars"

I have over 100 copper bars, they aren't forbidden, their stockpile links to the magma forges being used, and there are no burrow restrictions. Any tips?

Edit: turns out that the tunnel connecting the stockpiles and the forges had been obstructed by some insane merchants triggering the bridge.

I'd try turning off the links and see if it works while unlinked.

You should also go to the stocks screen and zoom into some of your copper bars and make sure they aren't accidently being put in the wrong stockpile. For example sometimes I forget to specify that stockpiles I use for rock blocks shouldn't allow metal bars.
