Talk:Pig iron

[REAGENT:1:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:COAL:NO_MATGLOSS] Are you sure charcoal from wood counts as a coal bar? I remember reading this wasn't the case. VengefulDonut 11:00, 18 December 2007 (EST)

I can approve that charcoal from wood logs is a valid material for steel production from heavy personal experience. It is good that we do not have strict WP:OR here.--Another 11:13, 18 December 2007 (EST)

[edit] Mandate bug?

My Tax collector has just given a mandate to make two pig iron items. If you can't make anything from pig iron, is this a bug? If not, how do I satisfy this mandate?! --Actreal 06:15, 23 June 2008 (EDT)

try building a bridge, or making steel bars-note that failure in a mandate only causes an unhappy thought. This is easily countered by upgrading his rooms with something he needs/likes.

Making steel bars does satisfy this mandate. Constructions (bridges, floors) do not. --Sev 23:56, 7 November 2008 (EST)
