Where do I extract tar or pitch to make torches at the Chandler?

[misiekm]

With the current clay system, do I need to do anything with earthenware (the ones made with normal clay) pots after drying & burning them in the Oven? I thought they should be good to go, but my dwarves refuse to use earthenware pots for food storage.

[zlurker]

Earthenware requires glazing to store liquids, yes.

Update
So I ran another world, small island.

I did manage to find a little malachite.

It does seems copper has been heavily reduced in this version.

past stuff

Final update:

Okay, so I checked again!

started with original zip extracted, created a small world. 

no tetrahedrite, no malachite.  Yet I can buy copper jugs... what else produces copper in this game?  Has copper been reduced tremendously over prior versions?  I don't get why 3 worlds in a row I'm not able to find tetrahedrite, or malachite (mind you I have simple minerals on).  Should I be looking for other types of copper?

I just verified.  Copper is from 3 things
Tetrahedrite
Native copper
and
Malachite

I'm wondering if the levels are WAY off and is why they aren't showing up.  Which may mean the game expects you to focus on other metals.  But they are certainly not anywhere near vanilla levels

fyi, in 4a I wasn't having any issues with malachite.

I did a 16x16 embark grid, and did a prospect all, and no malachite, tetrahedrite, or native copper show up.

When I do a 16x16 with simple minerals off... I get malachite in prospect all.

what gives?

[ElenaRoan]

Odd. I have no problem getting malachite with simple minerals on. my current fortress even has a big vein of the stuff right through the meeting area. I wonder what we do different.

[thistleknot]

Im just assuming thats how meph coded it. After lookind around for a spot i found one tile that had malachite and some other ore... That was it tho.  Two flippin ores. I guess meph wants to make it hard. so i brought a lil more casseterite and plan on using trade to get the rest

[AJC]

edit never mind found what i was looking for by trial and error.

Yep, I ve see this a lot lately, the veins are reduced in the embarks, is not a real deal, because how easy and cheap is trading, then, exploiting the cursed caravans for free loot, goblinite from invaders etc.

I guess is because the new world generator in the GUI, this is not a bad feedback, but a balancing point.

[thistleknot]

I successfully traded for my first crate of bronze bars, I built the trade storehouse.  I see in red "Open Crate of Bronze Bars".

If I check my stockpiles screen, I indeed have a crate of bronze bars... how do I open this thing?

[Etherdrinker]

Never opened crates, but, I read time ago the Open option are automatic is the Tradestorehouse are close. I am wrong?

[thistleknot]

Close to what? A bars stockpile?
I have the storehouse 1 tile away from my depot (on the other side of a wall, but close access)

I did a "T" on the trade depot, and see the crate is still in there.  Maybe it just hasn't been gotten to yet.

Okay, I dumped it to a square, unforbid it, then the job kicked in at the storehouse.

MAN I LOVE ME SOME CRATES!

[Etherdrinker]

"W-Kelp" Try close near, no free space in both ones.

[urmane]

Brainy no worky - what's the difference between normal gems which come in either "rough cut" or "<shape> cut" and the ones that just show a name, like "fire opals" or "clear diamonds" ?

[Another]

v.4b I have a few "strange" dwarves (painting pentagrams in combat logs and similar) and a temple of Armok. The manual says something that besides Armok's ward (I am 100 ores away from that) possessions can be cured by special praying while in line of sight. I can't figure out in game how to do that or find more information.

[Pascale]

Is there some sort of guide on how to use the multiplayer feature anywhere?
