I have been playing for a while and never had this problem before. I have melted objects with success in previous games.

I keep getting the 'needs melt designated item' message. However the weapons I want to melt are sitting in my stockpile, not forbidden and designated with the 'M'

Could I be missing something? They are goblinite if it matters. Yes they are unforbidden. I triple checked. I am using LNP 40_11 r3 with DFhack + bugfixes +performance tweaks


Edit - I am now having the same problem with smelting ore. "Needs Limonite" I have limonite.

Do you have any stockpile links?  That could be the culprit.

Also, to be sure, no burrows and dwarves can path to the items?

No burrows

No links involving the main stockpile nor the magma forge or smelters.

Edit - Aha found the problem. I had some small stockpiles giving to the forge. They were full of bars with no room for ore or weapons.

Giving to the forge shouldn't affect the smelter.  Unless that stockpile is also set to give to the smelter and is full of bars.  They would just use unstockpiled ore/weapons in that case.
