v50.14 · v0.47.05 This article is about the current version of DF.Note that some content may still need to be updated. |
A Magma smelter is a special variation of the basic smelter that uses magma as a source of heat, instead of fuel.
To function, magma smelters must be built with at least one of the eight edge tiles occupying an open space with at least 4/7 magma on the next floor down. This magma can be natural, or channeled from a larger source, or otherwise transported from another level to a trench designed to hold the magma.
Magma smelters do not consume any magma from their magma source - you can use a single tile of 4/7 (or deeper) magma below the smelter as an infinite heat source.
Note that both pig iron and steel production still require "fuel" as a part of the recipe, as a source of carbon for the reaction.
Creatures can climb up through the open tile that the building is built on, making them a potential entry point into your fortress. The smelter in older versions had an impassable tile that could be used to prevent this, but it has been removed as of v50.
