Pig iron demands
« on: November 24, 2009, 05:20:59 pm »

My tax collector is demanding that pig iron items be made....so...what the heck can I make out of pig iron that will satisfy him? There's nothing in the metalsmith's forge that can be made with it, I'm stumped....

I would fill it with Magma if there was any on my map... there isn't, so I'm filling it with Rhesus Macaques.

You have to make pig iron bars. It's the only thing that can be made out of pig iron, and it satisfies the mandate.

Execute him now, or his next mandate will be something like "0/500 pig iron windows"

000/999 water windows ( you have to melt mined ice, and yes, it's considered a stone ) .

It's only considered a stone for the purpose of building workshops and constructions - you can't make anything out of it.

Also, mandates never specify both the item type and the material, only one or the other (and never more than 3 at a time). Demands can be more specific, but you can safely ignore them.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
