Oh thank you all. =) I built everything and realized i have no hematite, but tons of silver, gold, platinum, and other crap. Now started new fortress hope with iron.

[CogDissident]

Every fortress has every metal, you just need to dig deeper to find it. I sugguest digging a lot between the chasm and lava, you'll find tons of that iron you need, and the occasional platinum vein, which makes your fortress very rich, very quickly.

Also bear in mind that you'll only find coal past the chasm as well, so you'll have to dig there no matter what.  Coal is much more abundant than wood when it comes to running furnaces.

Of course, to put that to shame, magma is much more abundant than coal... but then, in most of my fortresses I self-impose a ban on building anything magma-related, just for the sake of keeping the fortress lasting dozens of years.
