I'm having some bizarre problems with certain recipes added by the mod. The first one is researching Chemistry in the Researcher's Study. I have every ingredient- I'm absolutely certain of that. I've checked multiple times. Lye was acting really strangely, so I thought that might be the problem and removed the requirement for it from the raws, but it's still not working. The second is making steel. I can't make steel in the magma smelter or magma crucible... yet oddly enough, I can make it in the Magma Blast Furnace. I have tons of iron, pig iron, coke, and flux stone. It's all accessible from the locations of the buildings. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Is it a known bug?

I've never had issues making steel in a magma smelter or crucible.  I just tried researching chemistry in my current fort and it worked no problem. 

This is what was used:
1 bar Coke
1 bar Potash
1 pot Lye (it contained 5 lye, but the reaction only used up one)
1 Limestone

The two recipes share a need for coke/charcoal.  Make sure you have some and that its inside a bin not being carried around, the stockpile is not forbidden outside a burrow, or isn't set to "give" to a specific building.  Other than that...um...it might be too far away?  I assume the magma smelter and crucible are powered (over magma).

Definitely one of those things.  Try making a burrow that encompasses the entire map from top to bottom.  Don't assign any dwarves to it, but it should help with the workshop burrow bug.

Another option is if you have bar stockpiles set to give or take from your metal industry.  Those stockpiles could be holding all the coke and not be allowed to give to the research workshops.

Do you have the right profession? I know its as a "no duh" a thing as you can get, but it happens alot.
Another "No duh" moment is when those with the profession are sleeping, eating or at a party.

The burrow thing worked! Thank you very much for the help.
