Jeweler won't cut raw crystal glass
« on: December 19, 2010, 02:09:56 pm »

Mayor is mandating crystal glass items. I bought raw crystal glass from the traders, but now the Jeweler won't cut them. They're in brackets as (raw crystal glass). What do the brackets mean? Why won't the jeweler cut them?

Don't brackets mean something's forbidden?

A man would see that as a difficult challenge.
An elf would see that and despair.
A dwarf would see that and say, "Bring it on."

That's curly brackets {}. These are surrounded by () round brackets.  I've tried forbidding then reclaiming and dumping then reclaiming.

You can only cut raw green glass.  Raw any other kind of glass does nothing.  I'm not even sure what you can do with raw clear or raw crystal glass.

To make items with crystal glass, you need to do it from your glass furnace, as you'd request items from any other kind of glass.

However, I think the game is glitched with Crystal Glass, and you cannot produce items of your own, of it.  Something to do with dwarves not using Rock Crystals.

Elves aren't environmentalists, they're the smartest businessmen ever created in Dwarf Fortress.  Think about it, the only plants they want you to use are the ones they supply.  They even go so far as to attack you for producing too much lumber of your own.  They're not hippies, they're violent businessmen!

Thanks. I read about the bug for making crystal glass. I thought I found a way around it by making jewels. I guess my poor glass maker is going to jail again.

You should see if your noble will be satisfied with green glass spikes. In his room. And attached to a "lever of mystery" that only he can pull.

You should lock the door too, so no one else will see the mystery.

So there's that, as well. It looks like the only chronic problems that water can't cure are nausea and cave spider bites.
Which, coincidentally enough, can be cured by magma.

I think you can cut raw crystal glass by ordering it done in manager window, but that may have just been a dream.
