Urist McNewbie Reporting!

So I just embarked with 25 obsidian stones with the purpose in mind of making some higher quality magma safe workshops and trade dedpot, and my dwarves will not do anything of the sort with it. I can't make workshops from it, I can't make blocks from it, I can't make the depot.  I tested making the stone short sword and my dwarf is doing that as I type so apparently the pathing is fine and it is a recognized object but I can't seem to do anything else. I tried forcing them to use it with the materials binding in dfhack and I get the following error.

Job item 0 requirements not satisfied by obsidian

Is this some sort of bug or am I just missing something? Thank you in advance!

Are you sure obsidian is enabled in z-stone?

I think it's enabled by default, but you better check.

You sir are both a gentleman and a scholar! Thank you for informing me of my obvious oversight! Problem solved : )

i don't think it is enabled by default. it's considered economic, because you can use it for swords (and no other stone works for that) i think.

It'll be enabled if it's a layer in your embark. Good way of checking for flux without external utilities -- if upon embarking any of the flux types are green in the Stones menu, you have that flux stone as a layer. The exception is calcite, since it's a large cluster, but the only stone it's found in is flux stone.

That's genius, and a bug You should mention it on http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/my_view_page.php

I didn't know it. I thought there was some logic like "This stones you would probably won't mind being used by mason"

I thought it was a feature? It's been around since at least 40d, though I'll admit that's not necessarily an indicator (see the bug on crystal glass jobs being orderable only from the manager).
