I ordered some steel short swords made (through the manager, if that makes any difference?).

But when I go to check the quality of the first two, they are coal short swords. Exceptional quality

What happened? Anyone else seen this?

I have previously successfully made steel armor at the same forge with the same stockpile setup.

Using 0.43.02

From the 43.03 release notes.

Major bug fixes
   (*) Made customized magma forge jobs use metal instead of making things out of coal

Is it a custom reaction? Can probably try bringing you save over to 43.03

[Vaspeis]

Thanks for your reply!

I don't think it's a custom reaction, no. At least I haven't customized it. But it is a magma forge.

Tried bringing it into 43.03 anyway; another coal sword.

Watched the smith closely this time: She simply fetched a coal bar and set to work...

Strange.

[Edit to add:]

She's making steel swords now. I [r]emoved the task from the manager, [c]anceled the active job at the forge and manually added a new one. That worked, so I [q]eued up a new set of swords with the manager, and now those are correctly produced as well.

It might be that the 0.42.03 bug fix isn't retroactive, so a ported save doesn't fix it. Unless it's a lot of work I might try to tear down and rebuild the magma forge in the hope that the updated reactions are then tied to the forge.
I would have guessed a "customized" magma forge job was something like ordering a specific size helmet, but what details can you specify for a sword?

[Vaspeis]

I supposed "customized" meant I had fiddled with the raws, or created my own reaction. Anyway, I couldn't find a reaction for short swords in the raw directory, so I further supposed it was hard coded.

It seems cancelling the jobs and queueing up new ones made the game use the fixed reaction, but thanks for the tip on rebuilding the forge. Something to try next time something like this happens...

[PatrikLundell]

Given the quote comes from Toady's release notes, they ought to refer to something in the vanilla version. Happy to hear the issue is solved, though.

For those still running 43.02 (.03 does have dreaded five hundred million branches), I guess you could make coal arrows and minecarts, then use them as ranged ‼weapons‼.
