How do i use the magma smelter?

[General Nuclear]

So far this contraption have cost me the life of two brave dwarfs... i mean they had no idea that they were digging strait into a volcano, but still, very brave until the end.

Do i have to remove the floor or something?

*Edit* 80% of the surface is now lava.

*Edit* I managed to get the magma smelter running now thanks to warzone and gunsaremagic, and My fort is now haunted... i mean the spirits of those who lost their lifes in the tragic lava accident now watches over our fort from the great beyond.

If I recall correctly you have to have a hole dug with lava at-least one liquid deep, then place the smelter above the hole.

[Warzone]

I believe the hole in the middle has to be dug.

Be careful...Or don't, honestly those dwarfs will probably be !!Happy!! to help.

Is it possible to build a hole/channel without the ramp? Just a good old hole

Hmm. Better craft some slabs and engrave those to lie those dead dwarves to rest. Unfortunately most ghosts are not content with only watching a fort....

No. You have to make a channel, then remove the ramp.

[Empath demon]

have someone craft rock slabs, then have someone engrave them, one for each ghostie dorfer. And then build 'em! Ghosts can cause all kinds of !!FUN!!

Clarifying earlier comments: the hole is on any 1 or more of the 8 non-center tiles for the forge, not the middle (where would the poor dorf stand?)

Yes, I usually use one of the corners or center top.

He would stand in the lava?

I always thought it adds a fake floor, but still works. I dunno, I don't think I ever used the middle lol.
