:EDIT: also, if you have no flux available on your map, you can always make a trade agreement with another civilization to have them bring you flux stone with their trade caravans. --[[User:Janus|Janus]] 22:37, 10 March 2008 (EDT) | :EDIT: also, if you have no flux available on your map, you can always make a trade agreement with another civilization to have them bring you flux stone with their trade caravans. --[[User:Janus|Janus]] 22:37, 10 March 2008 (EDT) | ||

− | :I trade for them all the time. It does depend on the dwarven civ you trade with, though- I know one of my dwarf civs only has one kind of flux, while another has three or four. And of course, you can only get it from the dwarven caravans. --[[User:Zombiejustice|Zombiejustice]] 10:46, 13 June 2008 (EDT) | + | :::I trade for them all the time.

− | ::I've had many maps where I could trade for flux, but I just got a map with no flux in it and no flux listed in the embark screen under stone or in the dwarven caravan's trade request list. I guess steel will have to be an import in maps like that.

:::Civilisations will only bring flux if they have access to it. You can check on the world map if their cities are on Flux layers. If not, you never have access to flux.[[User:Qwertyu|Qwertyu]] 10:04, 5 March 2009 (EST) | :::Civilisations will only bring flux if they have access to it.

::::I believe the stones you can bring on embark are also representative of what the civilization has available. That is, if there's no flux available on the embark screen, then the traders won't have any. Incidentally, the same would go for [[bauxite]] as well. --[[User:LegacyCWAL|LegacyCWAL]] 12:15, 5 March 2009 (EST) | ::::I believe the stones you can bring on embark are also representative of what the civilization has available.

:I've been having some trouble importing flux. The merchants are happy to bring marble blocks, but for some reason my smelters aren't giving me the option to make pig iron. Can I use blocks as a flux material, or does it have to be rough stones? I have all of the other ingredients I need so I can't think what else the problem could be.

::::If you can only trade for flux if you mod the game, then shouldn't that be noted in the article? At the moment ti's slightly misleading.

− | :::::i had the same problem; asked for chalk blocks from the caravan, traded for chalk blocks, and found myself lacking the 'make pig iron' option. fortunately, i've asked for some chalk stones (not blocks - it is possible. check the 'materials' tab, i think, when the liaison appears) from the next dwarven caravan - let's see if they're delivered :D | + | :::::i had the same problem; asked for chalk blocks from the caravan, traded for chalk blocks, and found myself lacking the 'make pig iron' option. fortunately, i've asked for some chalk stones (not blocks - it is possible. check the 'materials' tab, i think, when the liaison appears) from the next dwarven caravan - let's see if they're delivered :D |
