Does the magma forge still exist?  I'm playing what i think is the current version, and b-w-v is nothing, and none of the magma stuff is in my build lists. <small>&ndash; [[template:unsigned|unsigned]] comment by [[User:Derektumolo|Derektumolo]]</small>
 
:Yes.  You need to find magma before you can build magma-powered buildings.  So, embark on a [[volcano]], channel into a magma pool, dig deep into the [[magma sea]], and then you'll get your magma buildings.  But don't use a cheating utility like DFLiquids to add magma - the game won't recognize it. --[[User:DeMatt|DeMatt]] 07:26, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 
:I found this out the hard way.  Where in the game data is the flag set for allowing the magma forge?  [[Special:Contributions/130.101.14.233|130.101.14.233]] 12:37, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

When building a well it doesn’t matter how many z-levels down the water is, just as long as there is a clear path to water that is at least 3/7 deep.  Does anyone know if this is true for magma workshops?  Could my magma forge be on level 100 and the magma itself be on level -10, as long as there is a clear path between the two? --[[User:Frewfrux|Frewfrux]] 18:28, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

: No, the magma has to be directly (-1 z level) below the magma-powered building.

::Nuts. I was hoping to avoid building 100+ magma-safe pumps.  Well, time to train a legendary blacksmith. :) --[[User:Frewfrux|Frewfrux]] 19:59, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 
:::How about digging a safe stairwell to the -32 level (where the magma sea is), and placing magma forges and smelters near the magma sea. Screw pump stacks. --[[User:TomiTapio|TomiTapio]] 12:55, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

This article would be a lot better if it stated which parts of the forge are impassable.  I think that the bottom middle square is, correct?  I'ma try it and then edit if nobody beats me to it.
 
:Actually, there is a picture of the workshop, which shows impassable tiles. It's in the table on the right (dark X = impassable, light X = passable). --[[Special:Contributions/91.193.86.67|91.193.86.67]] 08:39, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
