The '''magma forge''' is a [[workshop]] used by [[dwarf|dwarves]] to turn [[metal|metal bars]] into useful objects such as [[weapon]]s, [[ammunition]], [[armor]], [[furniture]], [[coins]], [[trap component]]s, metal crafts and [[siege engine|ballista arrow heads]] without the need for [[fuel]] to heat the forge.<br />
<br />
To build a magma forge, you must have [[magma-safe]] materials (non-magma-safe materials will not be shown on the material list), an [[anvil]], and a build site where at least one tile directly beneath one of its eight non-center tiles contains [[magma]] at a depth of 4/7 or greater.<br />
<br />
Note that the anvil used to build a magma forge ''does'' need to be magma-safe—normally anvils can only be made from magma-safe materials, but [[strange mood]]s can create artifact anvils which cannot be used at a magma forge (or, in the case of metals like [[zinc]], at ''any'' forge).<br />
<br />
Placing an [[impassable tile]] of the workshop over the magma will prevent dwarves from getting knocked in and prevent magma creatures from crawling out, possibly barring a [[building destroyer]] with an alternate route. While it is possible to construct a magma forge without open access to magma beneath any of its 9 squares, it will not operate (you will be unable to add tasks to the workshop). Note also that, like all workshops, the central tile must be floored, as it is required for a dwarf to use the workshop, and therefore cannot be the square used to access magma (you will be blocked from building the workshop).<br />
<br />
'''In order to build a magma forge, you must have first discovered''' [[magma]] on the map, whether by locating a [[volcano]] or [[magma pool]] or by discovering the [[magma sea]].<br />
<br />
==Workshop labors and skills==<br />
Several different types of items can be created at a metalsmith's forge; dwarves will need the correct type of [[labor]] enabled for each. The labors used at a forge are:<br />
<br />
*[[Weaponsmith]]ing -- [[weapon]]s, [[trap]] components, [[bolt]]s, and [[ballista arrowhead]]s<br />
*[[Armorsmith|Armoring]] (armorer) -- [[armor]]<br />
*[[Metal crafter|Metalcrafting]] -- [[Restraint|chains]], musical [[instrument]] components, and everything in the "Other Objects" category ([[craft]]s, [[coins]], [[goblet]]s, [[stud]]ding, etc.), except anvils <br />
*[[Blacksmith|Blacksmithing]] -- [[Anvil]]s, [[block]]s, and all [[furniture]] except chains.<br />
*[[Trapper|Trapping]] -- Animal Traps.<br />
*[[Mechanic]]s -- Mechanisms.<br />
<br />
==Cost of items==<br />
<br />
The cost of a weapon or piece of armor in metal bars can be calculated by dividing its material size by three and rounding down, with no item costing less than one metal bar. The exception to this is some types of finished goods, which are created in different multiples from a single metal bar, depending on the skill of the Metal crafter. The table on the [[Melt]] page lists the cost of common items and their yields when melted.<br />
