So, uh. I'm having a bit of the problem with the Crystal Forge: I can't make crystal shards. Apparently I need a low/high/medium/whatever value gem, plus some fuel. I'm practically drowning in coke, though, so clearly the fuel isn't the problem. Is there anything I might be doing wrong, like maybe I should be using cut gems or a different type of gem or something?
I haven't been having any problems with the crystal forge, did you set it up so it takes gems from a specific stockpile? If you did it will only accept items from that stockpile, so if there's no coke in it it'll say it's missing items. You'll need to make sure it also accepts the coke from whatever stockpile you that it in.
I have, however, been having a few problems with getting my military to reliably wear their crystal greaves. They'll never put them on at all unless I tell them to replace civilian clothing, and once I do they put on one or two. I have to physically go into their equipment and select specific pieces of greaves to get them to wear it, and even then it works roughly 70% of the time. It's a tad frustrating watching my military getting cut down by the ankles.
I've also been getting hit by a ton of Achangeling axemen, just a small typo in creature_pony_changeling
