It's important to actually "test" your observations before editing the wiki. Also, if it looks like something is a ''big'' change in the paradigm, bounce it off the "discussion" page first, see what others have to say about it. Chances are good that ''everyone'' hasn't been wrong all this time. --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 23:21, 5 November 2009 (UTC) | It's important to actually "test" your observations before editing the wiki.

Iron Ore[edit]
Either you're using a modded version of Dwarf Fortress, or you've never actually tested making mechanisms from iron ores - were you to try, you would find that they melt just as readily as any other stone. All but five stone types have default melting points - the exceptions are raw adamantine, bauxite, bituminous coal, lignite, and graphite (the first two are made magma-safe, and the other three are made flammable). --Quietust 21:07, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
Misconceptions about Galena & Tetrahedrite (among others)[edit]
Fixed some misconceptions about smelting silver from galena & tetrahedrite...
Only "misconceptions" here are yours. These absolutely have a % chance for silver during smelting, and are clearly not fractionally additive, as melting is. Otherwise, you could not...
1) Get a bar of silver on your first smelting after embark
2) Get 2 (or more) bars of silver in a row
3) Have different results after a save, sometimes a bar of silver, sometimes not.
And all of those occur regularly.
