Melt command[edit]
How does the melt option for items work, If I set things to melt and pick melt and item for the smelter it just seems to ignore it and pick ones I haven't marked. But if it works like dump I have no idea how to set a zone for it. --Shades 17:37, 4 November 2007 (EST)
- Really? mine only melts the items I checked, at least the last time I checked. (I hope). Perhaps it is a bug. --Soyweiser 07:11, 7 November 2007 (EST)
While on the topic of melting, the page should link to http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Melt_item somewhere. Skanky 19:39, 17 September 2008 (EDT)
Multiple Bars[edit]
Anyone else notice that when you smelt a multiple bar ore you alwas get the copper in the case of galenga? Perhaps the same is true for tetrdite. At the moment it looks like you get only one bar, while you have a chance for to. At least in my experience. --Soyweiser 07:11, 7 November 2007 (EST)
- Perhaps you might be right. It does not say if you have a chance to get lead in the case of Galena, or if you have a chance to get copper with Tetrahedrite. It may be you always get these bars, and have a chance at a second bar. I will have to check but I didn't look too closely at the time that I did this.--Chthon 12:05, 7 November 2007 (EST)
- Just confirmed it, the silver is the addition. The other ones are always generated. Just like the ores say ingame. --Soyweiser 15:18, 8 November 2007 (EST)
Word Choice[edit]
"Note that galena smelted alone often produces lead which is only used in producing lay pewter, a low quality ore" Pewter != ore. I would have fixed it, but I'm not sure of the proper wording. Mephisto 09:40, 7 November 2007 (EST)
Page disconnection[edit]
Has anyone noticed that this page seems to have been disconnected from the rest of the wiki at this moment? If someone knows where I can find a link to it, I'd appreciate it. I only linked where I did because that was where the old wiki had this kind of information. --Chthon 12:07, 7 November 2007 (EST)
- I added a few links here and there and put this in the guide category.--RaSchumann 14:57, 22 November 2007 (EST)
20% and 50%[edit]
does this mean once i smelt 5 (or 2) of these bars i will get 1 of that bar or there is a 50/20% chance of getting that bar as well as the other one
- I'm curious about this too. It says smelting tetrahedrite has a 20% chance of silver and a 100% chance of copper. These numbers don't add up. What gives? --GreyMario 17:31, 19 November 2007 (EST)
- I read it as smelting always produces a copper bar, and has a 20% chance of also producing a silver bar. --Bilkinson 20:18, 17 September 2008 (EDT)
Added Tutorial[edit]
I added a tutorial for smelting and I am adding links to here. --RaSchumann 18:06, 18 November 2007 (EST)
Pig Iron and Steel at a Normal Smelter[edit]
Due to some confusion over at the Steel page, I re-tested with a magma smelter and normal smelter. Both use the same amount of coke/charcoal. I've added a minor note to the table, and reworded about the magma smelter. Blackcat 07:33, 28 August 2008 (EDT)
