Where the hell are the magma forges?!?!
« on: January 05, 2011, 10:20:18 pm »

I started a new fort that had magma. I mined the magma and decided to start my magma forges. When I went to the workshops area of the build menu, there was only metalsmith forge. No magma forge. I checked the smelter. Again, just a normal smelter. No magma smelter. What the hell is up with this?

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Bug, I've had it happen to me, no idea how to fix it myself without either regenning a new world or abandoning and retakeing the fortress.

No. Better get right on that.

Ah, I've run into the problem even with magma-safe stone, hence my advice.

There was this bug in 40d, you might search for the thread about it, maybe the workaround will work for you.

Did you actually mine down to the magma and get the discovered the magma sea message, or did you cheat and use dfliquids?  You only get the option to make magma workshops if you got the discovered magma message.

That would do it.  Magma workshops are enabled when you get the message that you've discovered the magma sea.  You don't get them just because you spawned a bunch of magma with dfhack.

What about if you just have visable magma in the begining?

You need to actually "discover" a natural Magma deposit. :-\

(But you can edit the magma furnaces to be available at all times I believe? *see workaround mention*)
