The Magma Smelter functions exactly like a normal Smelter, but requires no fuel (charcoal or coke) to smelt in most cases. In the case of making pig iron or steel however, it still requires fuel.

A Magma Smelter needs to be made of fire-safe materials (the construction screen says magma-safe, but any fire-safe material will work), and needs to be placed with at least one of the 8 outer tiles of the smelter one z-level directly above a depth 4 (or higher) magma flow. The floor at the respective tile must be removed, for example by channelling. The circle at on the top tile of the smelter will turn red when there is sufficient magma, or grey if there is insufficient magma. Magma smelters do not use up or cool down any magma when in use.
