− | + | [[Stone]]s which are classified as '''flux''' materials can be used in the creation of [[pig iron]] and [[steel]] at a [[smelter]]. All flux has a material [[value]] of 2, which is twice that of common stone (material value 1), making it preferable for [[workshop]]s, [[construction]], and almost all stone products. ''(Only [[obsidian]] and some higher-value [[ore]]s have a higher material value for stonework.)'' | |
Note that [[block]]s made out of flux materials ''cannot'' be used in the production of pig iron or steel. | Note that [[block]]s made out of flux materials ''cannot'' be used in the production of pig iron or steel. | ||

All flux stones form [[layer]]s (which are marked on the embark screen as "Flux Layer(s)") except for [[calcite]], which exists as small clusters within other flux layers. Whether or not a site has flux can be determined from the pre-embark screen. [[Limestone]], [[dolomite]] and [[chalk]] form [[sedimentary_layer|sedimentary layers]], which can have large deposits of [[iron]]-bearing ore. [[Marble]] is a [[metamorphic layer]], so it can be found within almost any [[biome]]; notably, marble can be found in the same biome as [[igneous extrusive layer]]s (i.e. near [[volcano]]es), unlike sedimentary layers. | All flux stones form [[layer]]s (which are marked on the embark screen as "Flux Layer(s)") except for [[calcite]], which exists as small clusters within other flux layers.

− | + | :* If you are able to bring flux stone at [[embark]], you will be able to request it from the [[caravan]] in meetings with the [[liaison]] (as with pretty much everything else), but they aren't likely to bring much, generally 3 or 4 stones of each type. Your [[steel]] industry may be better served by requesting steel bars directly or by buying up everything they have that's made of steel, especially toys, instruments, and crafts, and [[DF2012:Melt item | melting]] it all down. | |
