Mining is an essential part of building a fort in Dwarf Fortress.There are several reasons you might want to mine, such as searching for various stone types, ores and gems, or simply to create the basic tunnels and rooms in your fort. Mining refers to either the skill that performs mining, the labor associated with it, or simply the task or job of performing said labor.
For the month, see Calendar.. Galena is an ore of both lead and silver.It is found as veins in a variety of locations.. When galena ore is smelted, it will produce 4 lead bars and 0-4 silver bars (with a 50% chance of each silver bar being produced). On average, each nugget of galena will produce two bars of silver when smelted. Galena can also be used in alloy reactions requiring …
Now scroll across to Metal Ore types. Now scroll down to 'Copper nuggets' and press Enter - you will notice that both 'Copper nuggets' and 'Metal Ores' becomes a lighter shade of grey. Note you can have more than one type of ore selected if you wish. Exit out of the menu and place the stockpile. Changing stockpile settings
Copper is the most basic metal capable of making weapons, though it is inefficient for this purpose. Copper ore is better destined for coin minting (as one of the Bookkeeper's …

Limonite is an ore of iron, a mid-value metal useful for weapons and armor. It can be smelted at a smelter by a dwarf with the furnace operating labor activated to produce iron bars. It is, for all metalsmithing purposes, identical to magnetite and hematite.
Native copper is one of the several ores of copper, the most versatile metal in Dwarf Fortress, primarily useful in creating alloys. Native copper is found in the form of veins. Mined-out hunks …
Billon is an alloy of equal parts silver and copper.Historically, billon was used to mint coins, but it remains to be seen if billon coins will be useful when the dwarven economy is re-developed.. Two billon bars can be made at a smelter from 1 silver bar and 1 copper bar, which does not create an increase in value. However, eight billon bars can be created by smelting 1 silver-bearing ore …
Ores are left behind after mining certain varieties of stone.Ore can be smelted to create bars of pure metal or combined to create alloys.Many ores are quite valuable as mined without being refined, and a mason or stone crafter can work them the same as any stone. However, ores fall into the economic stone category, and so must be designated for non-restricted use in the z …
Kaolinite is a magma-safe dark red stone, much like bauxite, found in sedimentary layers.Kaolinite has a material value of 1 like most stone, but can be made into medium value porcelain goods at a kiln or magma kiln.. Potters ordered to make clay or ceramic goods will use the closest source of clay, fire clay, or kaolinite by default. If you want to force your potters to use clay instead of ...
Native copper is one of the three ores that can be smelted directly into copper, and can also be combined with other ores to create five different alloys. Native copper is found as veins in …
Copper is a metal used in a large number of alloys, among them bronze, which is almost as good as iron for smithing weapons and armor, and brass, which has the largest value increase of all non-steel alloys. Copper itself is a common, low-value metal and a sub-par arms material – more specifically, it is the second-worst metal available for slashing weapons, but is pretty good for …
Bronze is an alloy of tin and copper, which can be used to create all metallic items in the game.. Smelting []. Bronze can be made at the Smelter or Magma smelter using one of the following recipes: . from ore: 1 Cassiterite + 1 {Native copper, Malachite or Tetrahedrite} = 8 Bronze bars; from bars: 1 Tin bar + 1 Copper bar = 2 Bronze bars; Use []. Bronze can be forged into …
Malachite is a hydrated copper carbonate (Cu 2 (CO 3)(OH) 2) that forms as a result of the weathering of preexisting copper deposits. Malachite is known to form alongside both Chrysocolla, and Azurite (which is not present in Dwarf Fortress) which it commonly pseudomorphs from.
Lead is a heavy, low-value metal available only from galena ore.Unlike in real life, lead is not a biological toxin. Lead is not magma-safe or even fire-safe - it will melt in a grass fire. Uses []. Lead can be forged into furniture and other objects, like …
1 copper ore & 1 cassiterite ore per every 2 items; 3 wood per every 2 items (Bronze bars are made in pairs only. You don't have to use both, but you have to make both.)...for Bismuth Bronze weapons and tools, you will need: 2 copper ore. 1 cassiterite ore & 1 bismuth ore per every 4 items; 9 wood per every 4 items
One of the two mineral sources of fuel, lignite is found in veins in sedimentary layers.When processed at a smelter or magma smelter, one unit of lignite produces 5 units of coke.If done at a regular smelter, this processing requires one pre-existing unit of fuel (either charcoal or coke), leaving a net production of 4 fuel.. Lignite is flammable - if exposed to fire or magma, an item …
Iron is an important resource for a fortress, as an often-plentiful metal that can be used to make just about anything necessary, from weapons to furniture to trade goods.Iron is also a necessary ingredient in the production of steel, the best non-spoiler metal in the game for weapons and armor.If you are unable to produce enough steel in your fort, then the next best metal for …
Bronze is an alloy of tin and copper, which can be used to create all metallic items in the game.. Smelting []. Bronze can be made at the Smelter or Magma smelter using one of the following recipes: . from ore: 1 Cassiterite + 1 Native copper, Malachite or Tetrahedrite = 8 Bronze bars; from bars: 1 Tin bar + 1 Copper bar = 2 Bronze bars; Use []. Bronze can be forged into …
Magnetite is an ore of iron.It appears as large, oval-shaped clusters inside sedimentary layers.A magnetite cluster may sometimes contain veins of native platinum, which can continue outside of the cluster itself.. In terms of metalsmithing, magnetite is identical to hematite and limonite.However, magnetite is distinguished by the extreme size of each deposit compared to …
Garnierite is the only ore of nickel, a low-value metal.It only occurs in gabbro, and appears in the form of veins.It is also the only stone/ore that is bright green, making it uniquely useful for color-coded levers as well as general decorative purposes. Despite being found in magma-safe stone and producing a magma-safe metal, garnierite itself is not magma-safe.

One copper ore and one cassiterite, or one copper bar and one tin bar, will make 2 bronze bars. Bismuth bronze, which is just as good as normal bronze except more valuable, takes 2 copper ...
A pick is a digging implement / weapon that can be forged (using the Weaponsmithing labor) from most weapon-grade metals, such as copper, iron, bronze, bismuth bronze, steel, and adamantine, but not silver, (although other weapons can be forged from silver). Picks are essential for a properly-functioning fortress: miners require picks to strike the earth, dig …

Fine pewter is an alloy of tin and copper.. Fine pewter can be made using one of the following recipes: 3 Tin bars + 1 Copper bar = 4 Fine pewter bars; 3 Cassiterite + 1 Native copper, Malachite, or Tetrahedrite = 16 Fine pewter bars; Fine pewter has a material value of 5. This represents a significant increase over its component parts (which all have a value of 2), …
