can't build Metalsmith's workshop
« on: August 16, 2006, 04:33:00 pm »

I've got an anvil and all 3 kinds of blocks (rock, light, and dark), but when I try to make the metalsmith's forge, I get the yellow text, "You need stone blocks and an anvil."  Any idea what I might be missing?

Either one of them is being hauled around and thus is unusable or you really don't have an anvil or blocks.

And even if nobody is actually hauling it, they can't use it if there is a haul job on it in the [j] screen.

Thanks for the quick response.  I do belive there probably was a haul job involved.  I solved the problem by clearing the strip of furniture stockpile that the items were on, thus forcing a timely haul job for all of them.

This is a great project you've got going here, Toad.  It happens that I'm working on a game for the XBox 360/PS3, and I spend the moments I wait for compiles for this ultra-high polygon, normal-mapped, specularly lit, etc. etc. game directing my little ASCII dwarves   :D
