[38c] Can't use marble as flux
« on: March 07, 2008, 12:19:00 am »
I have charcoal, coke, iron and marble, all in stockpiles. But every time I try to make pig iron, it says "smelt pig iron canceled: needs item".  I made another fortress in the same world earlier that had talc, diorite and lots of other kinds of flux, but no marble, and I was able to make pig iron and steel just fine.  This  map only has marble for flux and it ain't workin'!

My whole posse is running around in iron plate mail.  They look like a bunch of bearded dutch ovens. It's making us look bad in front of the other races.

Dutch ovens? Sounds like a miasma problem.

I see what you did there... I just wasted half an hour looking at Urban Dictionary.  Turns out everything in life can be combined with poo and then named after a city.

Too true.

That, and food.

I can take a look at the save if you're sure the marble is accessible.

toadyone@bay12games.com or somewhere downloadable
region folder in some kind of zip/rar/7z
any new objects that were added to the raw folder

Sorry, chalk it up to a brain fart.  I was mining GRANITE, not marble.  I tend to get the two mixed up in my head.  Granite can't be used as flux, so there's really no problem.  Sooo... nevermind. Sorry.

Chalk?  Chalk's a flux stone, so things should be working properly now.
