+ | Bauxite is the only {{L|stone}}, apart from {{L|Raw adamantine}}, that is suitable for the construction of {{L|mechanism}}s to be used in {{L|floodgate}}s which will come into contact with {{L|magma}}. Unfortunately bauxite can be found only in {{L|sedimentary layer}}s, which are rare around {{L|volcano}}es (but not near {{L|magma pipe}}s in general). However, you can usually trade for ''Bauxite stones'' with the Dwarven caravans (this is determined by availability in your home {{L|civilization}}). They're not expensive, and you should get enough to make any number of bauxite mechanisms you need. You can also plan ahead and buy some before embarking, so long as the civilization that you embark from has bauxite. | ||

To the right is an example of how to control your bauxite. The interior of the room to the north is a stockpile with only bauxite designated for storage. Below it are three slots for workshops (only two are used in the picture). Draft a mason/mechanic into a one-man squad and station him inside the bauxite stockpile, then lock the exterior doors and open the interior ones. When he has completed constructing your bauxite equipment, make sure he is outside of the stockpile and lock the interior and unlock the exterior. This makes it virtually impossible for any slip-ups to happen, preventing any bauxite from being wasted. | To the right is an example of how to control your bauxite.

Issuing a "pull lever" will cause that mason to respond, automatically locking himself into the controlled area, ready to go. |
