− | + | == Building and using a Smelter == | |
− | + | Metal bars you produced with a smelter are usable in a wide variety of goods, and fuel is usable in a smelter, metalsmith's forge, kiln, or glass furnace. | |
− | + | To build a [[smelter]] you need to have a dwarf with the building designer skill, a Fire-safe material and the appropriate craftsdwarf. You place a smelter building using the keyboard commands '''(b)(e)(s)''', after which your architect dwarf designs it and then your craftsdwarf builds it. | |
− | + | Using a smelter requires a dwarf with the furnace operator skill. You require ore and fuel to make a metal bar, and bituminous coal or lignite to make coke. Just like any other building you give a smelter a task using '''(q)'''. | |
− | + | ==Smelting Ore Results== | |
− | + | All ores smelted alone have a % chance of turning into a certain kind of bar. The following table shows those chances. | |
