The magma forge is a Template:L used by Template:L to turn Template:L into useful objects such as Template:Ls (including Template:Ls), Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:Ls, metal crafts and Template:L without the need for Template:L to fuel the reaction.

To build a magma forge, you must have Template:L materials, an Template:L, and a build site with at least one tile open over Template:L at least 4/7 deep. Placing the impassable sections of the workshop over the magma will prevent dwarves from getting knocked in and prevent magma creatures from crawling out. While it is possible to construct a magma forge without open access to magma beneath one of its 9 squares, you will be unable to add tasks to the workshop. Note also that, like all workshops, the central tile must be floored, as it is required for a dwarf to use the workshop, and therefore cannot be the square used to access magma (you will be blocked from building the workshop).

Workshop labors and skills

Several different types of items can be created at a metalsmith's forge; dwarves will need the correct type of Template:L enabled for each. The labors used at a forge are:
