How do you get pig iron in Dwarf Fortress?

Pig iron bars can be created at a smelter by a dwarf with the furnace operating labor activated. The recipe for pig iron is: one iron bar, one flux material, and one unit of fuel create one pig iron bar.

How do you get metal in Dwarf Fortress?

Metal bars are made at a Smelter by a Furnace Operator. Ingredients are one iron-bearing ore and one fuel. This produces one iron bar. (Iron ores are limonite, hematite, and magnetite.)

How do you make iron bars in Dwarf Fortress?

Iron bars can be created from ore at a smelter by a dwarf with the furnace operating labor activated. Much like in real life, Dwarf Fortress does not have one single source for iron, but instead has three different iron ores.

What is flux stone Dwarf Fortress?

Stones which are classified as flux materials can be used in the creation of pig iron and steel at a smelter. All flux has a material value of 2, which is twice that of common stone (material value 1), making it preferable for workshops, construction, and almost all stone products.

Where do you find hematite in Dwarf Fortress?

Hematite is found as veins in sedimentary and igneous extrusive layers, and is notable as the only source of iron available outside of sedimentary layers. Hematite can be smelted by a dwarf with the furnace operating labor to produce four iron bars per ore.

How do you get bronze in Dwarf Fortress?

Bronze can be made at the Smelter or Magma smelter using one of the following recipes:

from ore: 1 Cassiterite + 1 {Native copper, Malachite or Tetrahedrite} = 8 Bronze bars.
from bars: 1 Tin bar + 1 Copper bar = 2 Bronze bars.

How do you smelt ores in Dwarf Fortress?

Smelting requires the ore (or coal) to be processed, a smelter, either fuel or (for magma smelters) magma at least 4/7 deep, and a dwarf with the furnace operator labor enabled. Smelting an ore gives 4 bars of metal, and refining fuel gives 9 bars of coke from bituminous coal or 5 bars from lignite.

How do I make ingots in Dwarf Fortress?

What is flux stone?

i. Limestone, dolomite, or other rock or mineral used in metallurgical processes to lower the fusion temperature of the ore, combine with impurities, and make a fluid slag. Synonym of: flux.

How do you get clay in Dwarf Fortress?

In order to gather clay, a gathering zone must first be designated over a clay-bearing tile (note that clay can be collected from adjacent clay walls, even diagonally), much like with sand; however, gathering clay creates a clay “boulder” (the same as raw stone) and does not require a bag.

Where do you find magnetite in Dwarf Fortress?

It is often found in the form of black sand.
