How do you melt stuff?
« on: January 06, 2011, 09:19:00 pm »
I went into the (z)stocks menu, and went to weapons and toggled M on for a bunch of stuff I couldn't use and wanted to melt down. Then I (q)querried a smelter and queued up a Melt Object order on repeat.

But within seconds, Urist cancels melt item, needs melt-designated item !?

What am I doing wrong/how do I do it right/is it bugged?

Were the objects in question forbidden?

Yeah, they're forbidden by default.

Yeah. It is time consuming to do if you want to leave their clothes, but it is a great source of iron (especially in 40d)

z-stocks. Order all non-steel or -adamantine armor to be reclaimed and melted, and only use steel or adamantine.

I've turned off the "F"orbidden setting so that there is only an 'M' next to the metal items I want to melt.

Might be I don't have enough smelters working, so I'll set up a bunch and see how that goes.

You have fuel or magma, right?

EDIT: No, wrong cancellation message.

Did you have your fort sealed off at the time, preventing your intrepid forgeworkers from getting the stuff (assuming it was outside)?

Yeah, have fuel, finally one guy is doing it. I think it was a combination of 'F'orbidden and not having enough guys on the job.
