v0.31 Talk:Magma forge
Current Version?[edit]
Does the magma forge still exist? I'm playing what i think is the current version, and b-w-v is nothing, and none of the magma stuff is in my build lists. – unsigned comment by Derektumolo
- Yes. You need to find magma before you can build magma-powered buildings. So, embark on a volcano, channel into a magma pool, dig deep into the magma sea, and then you'll get your magma buildings. But don't use a cheating utility like DFLiquids to add magma - the game won't recognize it. --DeMatt 07:26, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
- I found this out the hard way. Where in the game data is the flag set for allowing the magma forge? 130.101.14.233 12:37, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
Magma Multiple Z-Levels Down[edit]
When building a well it doesn’t matter how many z-levels down the water is, just as long as there is a clear path to water that is at least 3/7 deep. Does anyone know if this is true for magma workshops? Could my magma forge be on level 100 and the magma itself be on level -10, as long as there is a clear path between the two? --Frewfrux 18:28, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
- No, the magma has to be directly (-1 z level) below the magma-powered building.
z 1 forge
z 0 forge
z -1 magma magma
z -2
works works not!

- Nuts. I was hoping to avoid building 100+ magma-safe pumps. Well, time to train a legendary blacksmith. :) --Frewfrux 19:59, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
- How about digging a safe stairwell to the -32 level (where the magma sea is), and placing magma forges and smelters near the magma sea. Screw pump stacks. --TomiTapio 12:55, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Safe Forge Construction[edit]
This article would be a lot better if it stated which parts of the forge are impassable. I think that the bottom middle square is, correct? I'ma try it and then edit if nobody beats me to it.
- Actually, there is a picture of the workshop, which shows impassable tiles. It's in the table on the right (dark X = impassable, light X = passable). --91.193.86.67 08:39, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
