Dwarf Fortress Megathread! - Necro'd enough to count as a vampire
Kiddeh:
Can someone please explain how to set up a magma forge? I haven't found a magma pool yet, but when do, I want to harness the delicious red stuff.
Corbiere:
I need help with the following:
- Making a metalworker's workshop. It tells me to get a heat-proof furnace or something: Can't find in menu
- Setting up a WORKING military: Spider (In picture) annihilated most of my civilians because the army was asleep or something.
- Water: Everyone keeps complaining of thirst despite the lake right next to the fort >=(
- Getting to magma: All orders are cancelled to mine "warm rock"...

That's because them dwarves want themselves some good ol BEER or other ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES which you should provide for them.

You need a material that can tolerate heat. Dig some more.
Edit:
So, I have a Legendary+4 (Level 19) Siege Operator, and I have him sitting in my surface fortress behind a fortification in a ballista. I know he should be able to see and fire through that single fortification in front of the ballista, but just then a goblin ambushing party walked right in his line of fire about 30 tiles out and he didn't do anything. The goblins should have been minced meat within seconds, but not a single siege arrow was fired.
what's going on?
