What is flux, coke, charcoal, smelting, you ask? Brief clip explains it.
« on: June 20, 2012, 05:51:10 pm »
Saw this on a documentary that recently aired, and when they mentioned limestone, and why it was used in smelting iron, it seemed valuable to share.

The clip is from More Industrial Revelations Europe, Episode 6, from 3:10 to 4:32.  Very interesting to see how it applies to dwarf fortress, and a real furnace & smelting in operation.
