![]() ![]() Some of the rocks are metal ores, some are burnable (coal and lignite), and some are flux (limestone, dolomite, chalk, marble, and calcite). ![]() Each item created requires a unit of fuel (exceptions include arrows and other items which are created in batches), unless you're using magma, in which case all you need is the metal. Once you have metal, use a metalsmith's forge (or magma forge) to turn it into useful stuff: weapons, ammunition, armor, furniture, mechanisms, trap components, crafts, containers. 2 iron ore + 2 flux + 6 fuel (2 fuel if using magma) => 2 steel.This requires (1) iron bar, (1) pig-iron bar, (1) flux, (2) fuel (one fuel if using magma). Smelt the pig-iron bar and the remaining iron bar into steel.If you have magma, your heating requirement is taken care of, so you only need one unit of fuel. This requires (1) iron bar, (1) flux, (2) fuel (one to heat the metals, one to reduce impurities/add carbon). Smelt (1) iron bar into a pig-iron bar.If you have flux (any calcium-carbonate mineral: Chalk, limestone, dolomite, or marble edit or calcite), iron ore, and plenty of fuel, you can consider steel-making. If you have iron ore, iron is higher-quality (for many things) than bronze, but less fuel-efficient. Once you do have fuel, you smelt your metals if you have copper ore and tin ore, bronze is both higher-quality and more fuel-efficient than copper. If yours is one of these, you can skip some of the fuel requirements you'll have access to magma furnaces, which don't need fuel (except when making steel). Some embark sites have easily accessible magma. Wait until a dwarven caravan comes, and trade for the fuel they bring (this is only good if you don't mind potentially waiting a two-and-a-half years to start smelting half a year for the first caravan, another year for the next caravan, who will bring a diplomat, another year for that caravan.).It's used in minimalist builds because you don't even need to take tools, if you do it right) Make charcoal from wood at a wood furnace(this is often a good plan.Bring some with you at embark (you don't need much one will technically be sufficient to get you started, because it will let you refine the coal that you mined).The smelting and fuel-refining both happen at a smelter.īefore you do this, however, you need to have some kind of fuel. Lignite gives two coke, for a net gain of one (since you burned one fuel to make it), bituminous coal gives three coke, for a net gain of two. Each of these can be turned into fuel (coke, specifically) at a furnace, using fuel. In addition to the metal ores, there are two types of unrefined coal: lignite (the lousy kind) and bituminous coal (the good kind). Kitfox Discord #modding-discussion channelīronzemurder and Oilfurnace (illustrated)Ĭertain rocks can be used as ores for certain metals limonite, haematite, and magnetite for iron tetrahedrite and malachite for copper sphalerite for zinc (which is needed for brass) cassiterite for tin (which is needed for bronze).
