You can make a 1x1 tile wide pit going all the way down to your magma works and put a garbage dump next to it so that dumped items will be thrown down it, to save the time on hauling items all the way down.This way the only dwarves making long round trips will be the haulers. Make a second living area down near the magma sea, including bedrooms, and manually assign the bedrooms to anyone working down there.There are multiple ways of dealing with the problem of the long round trips: The big disadvantage of magma power is that the magma usually comes from the magma sea, which is usually 60 or more z-levels below the surface, meaning that not only do you have to dig down quite a ways, but if the main part of your fortress is up near the surface there's a long round trip of anyone involved. (Of course, a skilled stonecrafter is going to make more valuable stone goods than an unskilled glassmaker or potter). Glass and ceramic are three times more valuable than ordinary rock and 50% more valuable than flux. If you have any sand or clay on your site you can churn out endless amounts of glass and ceramic goods to trade to the caravans.If you have any sand on your site you can churn out endless amounts of raw glass to train your gem setter and gem cutter.You can recycle all your low quality products via melting.You can train your armorsmith and weaponsmith by having them make weapons and armor out of copper and silver, so they'll have more experience when they later use steel or adamantine.You can melt all of the iron weapons and armor left behind by goblin sieges, turning them into bars your metal workers can use, without using up all your fuel.The advantage of magma power all stem from the fact that you can use it endlessly without using up any fuel: Magma is usually obtained from the ubiquitous magma sea, but is sometimes acquired from a volcano instead. The magma version are powered by being placed one z-level above magma and need no fuel. Normal ones are powered by consuming fuel, either charcoal made from wood or coke refined from bituminous coal or lignite. Normal forges and furnaces vs magma powered ones įorges and furnaces need power in order to operate. If you have any sand or clay floors on your site you can collect an endless amount of the materials for making glass and ceramics.If your fortress is at a site with no trees on the surface, like a desert or glacier, you can make bins, buckets, crutches and splints out of metal in order to conserve your supplies of wood (though you can get everything but bins from caravans).Goblets made from gold can be used to buy a lot of stuff from the caravans.Making statues out gold, platinum or aluminum is a good way to make high-value furniture which can be installed into rooms to raise their quality or be put into communal areas so admiring them can give happy thoughts.Some nobles‡ will make demands and production mandates for metal, glass and ceramic items.A military with equipment made entirely from wood, bone and stone isn't going to be very effective. If you have the INVADERS option‡ set to YES then you'll definitely need to make metal armor and weapons.Uses for metalworking, glass making and ceramics 6.1 Green glass, clear glass and crystal glass.4.3 Job canceled: need 150 bars of metal.2.3 Mitigating the problem of magma power. ![]() ![]() 2 Normal forges and furnaces vs magma powered ones.1 Uses for metalworking, glass making and ceramics. ![]()
