I'm not sure if this is a bug or just the way it works now, but my dwarves now use 2 units of coke for the pig iron and steel reactions at a non-magma smelter.

[Mr Frog]

I'm guessing one is for fuel and the other is to provide carbon. I'm 75% sure you're only supposed to need one, though, since the fuel also provides enough carbon by itself... Try again at a magma smelter and see if it only needs one piece of coke.

according to the raws its normal though that could either be a feature or just overlooked but both have coal bars as a reagent and have the fuel tag

The question is not whether the entry in the raws is erroneous; the raws for 40d also had coal listed as a reagent while requiring Fuel. However, it would use the coal as both reagent and fuel in a non-magma forge; the net effect being that you needed coal even with magma, but otherwise it was no different. The question is whether that was considered a bug and is now fixed, or whether that was correct and it is now a bug to need two units.

[Darkseed]

yes looking at the 40d raws i see it was listed there too so it was either a bug then(doubtful) or it was overlooked...I wonder what the letters mean they're new come to think of it.
