Magma forge+open air volcano
« on: October 16, 2008, 12:10:29 pm »

There is my problem: I'm trying to set up my magma forges/smelters industry (I built a nice magma channel to the exact location where I want to place the buildings), but my magma pipe go up to the surface. This means I have it discovered since the beginning, and didn't get the "You found magma" message.

Problem is, my magma forge/magma smelter buildings do not even appear in the building list, as if I did not even have magma in the first place (or used reveal to find it, which I didn't).

What is the solution to that? Could dwarf companion help me fix that bug?

Are you sure you're looking in the right place for the buildings?

Magma Forge is under build -> workshops -> magma forge (B -> W -> V)

Magma Smelter is under build -> furnaces -> magma smelter (B -> E -> L)

It's somewhat hard to understand your question but I think I got it :P

Let me know if that helps!

I am absolutely sure none of these two even show up. Thanks though.

May it be linked to the fact that I channeled into the volcano instead digging to it?

If you embarked with the magma visible... you should have the ability to build magma furnaces and forges.

Bug report time. In the meanwhile, see if you can find a utility to enable magma buildings.

Everything in tweak seems to work, except for the magma building enabler. It just says "Done", but nothing happens.

Might have to do with the same bug that did not let you build the buildings in the first place.
Have you tried to build other magma buildings (Galls Furnace or something...) ?

Upload the save so we can take a look at it.

Have you included any mods or made any changed to the game files?

I have used no mod at all, but I'm playing as reclaim mode. I'll try to upload this as soon as I can.

I thought there was a known bug with reclaim mode not being able to build magma stuff... Maybe I'm high.  I'm not saying not to report it though, but now that you mentioned reclaim mode I am not surprised at all.
