[REAGENT:1:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:COAL:NO_MATGLOSS] Are you sure charcoal from wood counts as a coal bar? I remember reading this wasn't the case. VengefulDonut 11:00, 18 December 2007 (EST)

I can approve that charcoal from wood logs is a valid material for steel production from heavy personal experience. It is good that we do not have strict WP:OR here.--Another 11:13, 18 December 2007 (EST)

Mandate bug?[edit]

My Tax collector has just given a mandate to make two pig iron items. If you can't make anything from pig iron, is this a bug? If not, how do I satisfy this mandate?! --Actreal 06:15, 23 June 2008 (EDT)

try building a bridge, or making steel bars-note that failure in a mandate only causes an unhappy thought. This is easily countered by upgrading his rooms with something he needs/likes.
Making steel bars does satisfy this mandate. Constructions (bridges, floors) do not. --Sev 23:56, 7 November 2008 (EST)
I have a mayor who has mandated the construction of a pig iron item. Tried making a steel bar, no success. Made another, still no change in mandate. --Liqum 12:07, 30 January 2009 (EST)
I just got a mandate for 3 pig iron items. I had none at the time so I told a furnace to smelt {R}. Before I could build anything the mandate was completed. I am certain that smelting the bars is what filled the mandate.--cultiststeve 16:39, 17 February 2009 (EST)
That's right, cultiststeve. You can fill mandates by creating bars OF a particular metal. The same effect applies to Bismuth. --Torasin 18:57, 17 February 2009 (EST)
I've made 4-6 bars of steel and the mandate is still there =\ --Toloran 23:15, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Maybe it is making bars of Pig iron? --Zchris13 23:37, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Yes, Pig iron bars are what do the job, also my mayor is a Pig Iron fanatic... and I am in a land with scarce supplies of iron so I have to get iron from caravans to fulfill his wishes :| . Note: Mayors that like Pig Iron will mandate more and more to be made, also will ban its export. --Speed 09:29 AM, 13 July 2009 (GMT)
