So, I just found candy for the first time, made a stockpile-workshop chain from raw ore to strands. Then I linked the strand stockpile to give to my magma smelter. But when I attempt to make wafers, the option shows red and when I check why, it says "requires fuel". This confuses me, because options like "smelt magnetite" do show up. The workshop is properly set with access to magma, I've built them before. So, do I need flux or coal for candy? Or am I missing something?

I believe it will only use what is linked to it not sure though so if it doesnt use Magnetite in the stock piles then it shouldnt be there

The option shows up for magnetite but cancels because of no access. Candy however is abundant, and the links are set properly. But it still says "requires fuel", even though magma smelters run on heat from magma.

This is probably related to the fact that stockpiles for storing strands are bugged. Try removing the source stockpile restriction on the smelter.

The reaction itself requires fuel, and the same reaction is performed at either type of smelter. The fact that it's showing up red is probably because the game has cached the availability of various materials (to reduce lag) and isn't aware that you actually have materials available to complete that reaction - if you create a work order, the job should get added to the magma smelter, at which point you should find out whether or not the items are actually available to it.

Alright, thanks.
