The next fuel source is [[coke]], made from two types of depository coal: [[lignite]] and [[bituminous coal]]. When lignite is burned at a furnace, it consumes a unit of fuel while producing five units of coke, thus creating a net profit of four fuel; bituminous coal consumes one and produces nine, for a net profit of eight fuel (obviously being the better of the two). There is currently no way to know if a location does or does not have these resources, except through external [[utilities]] like [[DF2012:Utilities#DFHack|DFHack]]. | The next fuel source is [[coke]], made from two types of depository coal: [[lignite]] and [[bituminous coal]].

− | The final fuel source is [[magma]]. [[Channel]]ling a hole to a tile containing at least 4 units of magma will allow you to build magma forges, buildings that uses the heat of the magma instead of an actual fuel to do its work. The challenge is getting there; going down that deep requires passing through the [[caverns]] first, a feat to be concluded only by a fairly mature fortress. Once you hit magma, you will no longer need any other fuel source | + | The final fuel source is [[magma]].

If you have neither trees nor one of the two coals on hand, getting your industry together will be extremely difficult. You will have to buy up every log and as much charcoal as possible, but if you do not have enough trees you will not have enough [[bed]]s either; hurtling towards [[magma]] while avoiding the caverns is possible, although risky. To avoid this problem, try not to embark in a location without wood until you have some experience. | If you have neither trees nor one of the two coals on hand, getting your industry together will be extremely difficult.
