We’ll cover the ins and outs of why once we’re under way. With those notes in mind, lets get expanding our workshop floor and plan to harness the magma. And yes, your dwarfs can catch on fire and set other things on fire! Like your precious booze (which will explode)! To help prevent this I’ve put a door on the passage to the pool, and I suggest you do the same! Harness the POWER! If your dwarfs go sight-seeing around the edge of a magma pool you can be pretty sure Fire Imps will eventually make an appearance and start breathing fire at your dwarfs. You will see a few of these in our magma pool if you go down a few levels.įire Imps are quite dangerous. The exception is certain magma creatures like Fire Imps. If a monster falls into it they also die quickly. If a dwarf falls into it, they’re dead quickly. In addition to being a source of smelting power magma is also extremely dangerous. I didn’t know the pool was just there, but it is extremely handy for us that it is! Why, I hear you ask? Well, the reason is that magma helps us skip a step in the metal production phase – charcoal! We can just use the heat of the magma to do the work for us, neat!īut how do we tap this awesome source of power? Easy! We dig of course! But before we get carried away, lets talk generally about magma. What we have here is a magma pool on the right, with an open floor for us to walk around on, and a passage I’ve dug from the workshop floor to the pool. If you discover the pool at the workshop level you’ll see something like this… If you find it at any level lower than our workshop floor you’ll get a message about hot stone and digging will stop. Read on! Mmm! Mag-maaaa!īy now you should have discovered the magma pool. Then we’ll talk a bit about constructing steps and how to remove constructions. Today we’re covering building magma forges and smelters and how you can set up some magma channels. This is our second-to-last tutorial (unless you all beg for more). I’ve written a book – Getting Started with Dwarf Fortress, available at O’Reilly and Amazon! It covers the current version and takes you from knowing nothing to being a confident Dwarf Fortress player!
