Hi all , does anyone have any advice on how to set up a functioning steel industry? I have depleted the entire forest trying to power my forges but it doest seem like a viable plan. Anyone has a good way to seek magma?

[Acperience]

I'm guessing you don't have a volcano on your map, so keep digging down till you hit the magma sea.

[!!crundle!!]

You'll still need coal/coke for pig iron and steel, so request it like mad from the caravans.

If you have access to the iron ore than you have access to a) igneous rocks, which you should only really bother with if you have a volcano with magma for fuel, or b) a sedimentary layer with lingite and bitminous coal to use for fuel. Or are there other locations with iron ores?

Goblin fortresses, although you can't embark on them any more and it's usually dilluted by copper and silver ore now...

You could request stuff made of iron/steel like mad from the dwarven liason and melt down all the garbage the dwarves bring.

Steel Industry needs power!

You must construct additional pylons.

I do this but with any bismuth bronze, bronze, steel, or iron good.  It helps power my eventual military machine.

Dig to the magma sea, you'll have plenty of power for your forges. For coal and charcoal, order b-coal, lignite, every type of wood, coke and charcoal from the liaison and you'll have plenty in a few short seasons!

What game are you referencing? This sounds very familiar. . . . .

The Protoss race in Starcraft if I'm not mistaken.

I think coal would be the Vespine Gas.

Will have plenty for a couple handfuls of armor...I am already using all my imported wood to make pearlash and beds.  When I make dwarves armor it involves 26 individual items which are worn (28 if you count weapons and shields.  more if you include backpacks, waterskins, quivers)

I thought so. First thing that came to mind was Starcraft and Dawn of War. I thought it was one or the other.

Why did you think of Dawn of War if you didn't hear WAAAAAAAAAGH?
