Yeah, look for a source of pressurized magma at the same or higher z-level as the magma forge.

Many military vehicles have towing winches exactly for this sort of problem. Besides, if you were parking a vehicle, you'd know both your CO and the enemy would be vicious if you couldn't move out at a moment's notice.

I should have said I was responding to martinuzz's post and his noticing the fonio bag in the cave wheat stockpile with mixed seeds. The problem of the seeds being stuck in the workshop is something different and I haven't experienced it, and since I thought your second post was an answer to the OP, I branched the thread in reference to the mixed seeds in bags, which I've seen in 40.n.

Because I haven't seen the new problem of seeds being stuck in the workshops, I'm not sure what to think about it, but the "more than one type of seed is stuck in a bag" problem is the same in 47.05 and 50.05 (just tested both versions). It happens because the "store item in bag" seed-bagging code attempts to put a seed into an bag regardless of stockpiles and regardless of the Mix Food setting. The code only asks "is there a bag named for the type of seed or is there an empty bag?".

In 47.05 or 50.05, on a new default embark with no stockpiles, mass dump all bags and seeds and wait until all the bags are empty of seeds. Unforbid one bag and one plump helmet seed, the dwarfs put the seed in the bag and the bag gets a name. Unforbid all the other seeds but only one other bag; the dwarfs take the 4 plump helmet seeds and add them to the named bag, but the remaining 25 seeds, 5 different seed types, are put into the only available empty bag. I like to think this is not a bug because dwarfs are making the smart move by protecting all the seeds instead of leaving them for the vermin... But it probably is a bug because once you are out of empty bags, they don't try to mix seeds anymore.

Consider this... every fort already has great quantities of stationary underground magma, and glacial volcano embarks have about 300 magma tiles exposed to cold and snow. The stationary magma is not the problem.

I have these missing buttons too but assumed this was because of how I have this machine set up.

For bins/barrels/etc, if you click to the right a bit and the number changes to a blinking underscore, you found the button.

Also for Minecart 'H'auling routes and their stops, the "delete" button is hidden to the right.

For bridges, I click the the >> once when I want the bridge to raise to the east. There is no visual feedback to indicate it was clicked and WASD does nothing. It's been working, but sometimes I mess it up still and it won't accept the build location I clicked.

For screwpumps, the << indicates you want to intake fluid from the west and the tile you click to build will be the "solid tile"of the machine once built. I have missing visual clues and I still need to rebuild pumps a couple times to get them right.
