From what I've heard: "Rock" bars=Metal bars.

How do i make a metal bar?they are not melting my copper nuggets

[NewsMuffin]

Do you have coal or charcoal? If you don't, you can easily make charcoal. Build a wood furnace, set to make charcoal, and once you have some, go to your smelter, and make copper out of those nuggets.

Are you trying to melt them via the Melt Metal Object task? That won't work. Use the "Smelt <ore>" tasks, there should be one for every ore and alloy you can smelt.

How do i do that?What i am doing is pressing k and once my cursor is over them,designating them for melt.

Designating "nuggets" for melting will give you "native [metal] bars", which probably isn't what you want. What you need to do is build a Smelter (if you don't have one already), press [q], then [a]dd a task to "Smelt [ore]". Incidentally, this is the same place where you would need to add a task to melt a metal object - marking them with [m] alone will not do anything at all.

Incidentally, when you look at your moody dwarf's thoughts and preferences, what are the first 2 materials listed?

He just wants "rock bars" and logs.And I can't find the smelter build thing anywhere.

That doesn't answer the question.

Quietust means the dwarf's PREFERENCES found inside the profile page of the dwarf. Not what he wants for the artifact.

And I can't find the smelter build thing anywhere.

Erm. b-e-s to build a smelter.

If you have built a smelter (b -> e -> s) and there is available fuel to burn, you can hit Q, highlight the smelter, and any ore on your map which can be smelted into bars will be on its menu. Otherwise, it will have a note about checking for available fuel and resources. If you set up a magma smelter, you don't need fuel.

Also, if what Quietust said works, then you can effectively make "rock bars" as long as you have a smelter and fuel. That should satisfy the moody dwarf. Smelting ore through the smelter menu will give you metal bars, and making blocks from the ore in a mason's shop will give you rock blocks, and as far as I can tell, those won't satisfy a request for "rock bars".

My strange dwarf likes Orpiment and Billon whatever the hell they are.(edit)He made a....its a...its a-a fucking animal trap.this is a babob wooden animal trap,it is studded with copper,it is adorned with hanging rings of palm and menaces with spikes of babob,on the item is a picture of a cave chili in babob.Grrrrrrr.....What workshop makes glass?Im putting it in a display case.

[Untelligent]

I THINK glass windows are made at a glassmaker's somethingorother. You might find that in the same place you found the smelter. You'll generally need sand to make glass, though.
