Dwarf fortress bituminous coal full#
The plan is fairly simple Create an open city in the caverns full of fearless dwarven warriors and keep digging and gathering wealth until the fun™ catches up with me. I think I've decided on what kind of fortress to play. This is excellent and very timely advice! With 1 iron, 1 pig iron, 1 marble and 2 coke, forge 2 steel bars With 1 iron, 1 marble and 2 coke, forge 1 pig iron bar With 1 coke, smelt each hematite into 4 iron bars With 1 fuel/coke, smelt each bituminous coal into 9 coke With the mats to build a forge (anvil) and smelter, and one piece of fuel (coke or charcoal) to get the process started by processing the bituminous coal.

So based on the above, you just need to bring combinations of:ġ hematite + 4 marble + 2 bituminous coal Then you've also got more fuel to make the steel into something useful. It is probably easier to just round up the bituminous coal to 16. Steel is made in the following proportion with no waste or leftovers:Ĩ iron bearing ore + 32 flux stone + 13 bituminous coal = 32 steel bars But there's also no replacement for steel. Simpler metals like copper are cheaper and easier to work with, and might be a good choice for an early fort. Just bring cheap boulders to assemble a smelter and forge, and a coal product of some sort, and you can start cooking. You don't have to embark with the bars on hand, you don't even have to embark with axes or picks if you're quick. I guess you scrutinize the available options more on a new release like this.īuying the boulders required to make metals when you embark is very, very cost-effective. Not that there's usually a reason that the fortress is in ruins, though, and you'll have to deal with that pretty soon. ( Probably since 2014, I guess? God, that was eight years ago.)
