− | + | '''Magma-safe materials''' are known to include [[iron]], [[steel]], [[bauxite]], [[fire imp]] [[bones]] and [[leather]], [[nickel]], [[nickel silver]] and [[adamantine]], but currently it is difficult to control [[magma]] flow with [[floodgate]]s since [[mechanism]]s must be made out of [[Rock|rocks]], most of which are not magma-safe (Bauxite being the notable exception). | |
− | |||
− | + | [[Mechanisms]] made from raw adamantine are magma-safe, and will properly operate a magma-safe floodgate in a magma [[channel]]. In order to construct mechanisms from raw adamantine, you must first allow its use for non-economic purposes in the stock screen ({{key|z}} and select 'stone'). You might wish to remove other stone-using jobs while adamantine is available for use. | |
− | + | If you are using bauxite, be sure to mark a [[stockpile]] around the [[mechanic's workshop]] which allows bauxite only. | |
− | + | The mechanism on the [[lever|trigger]] need not be magma-safe, only the one on the floodgate. If you do not have any bauxite or adamantine available, you can also work around floodgate based flow control by opting for [[screw pump|screw pumps]] to pump the magma over [[wall]]-barriers. | |
− | + | == Calculations == | |
− | + | According to the raw data files, magma's temperature is somewhere between 1300°C and 1400°C, which translates to 2300°F–2500°F . | |

− | + | Materials that resist magma are: | |
− | |||
− | + | Earth: | |
+ | * Constructions ([[Wall]], [[Floor]], [[Ramp]], [[Stairs]]) can never melt or burn (there is nothing wrong with [[wood]]en magma reservoir). Natural [[ice]] walls/floors/ramps/stairs may melt however. | ||
+ | * [[fortification|fortifications]] will allow the passage of [[magma]], but not the assorted magma creatures. Fire snakes are vermin, so they can spawn anywhere near their native biome - the magma pipe/pool. They are not affected by fortifications, grates, or anything else you might try to throw at them. Also, there is a bug with fluids which may sometimes let magma (and water) push living things through barriers such as fortifications, bars and grates. [[Pump]]s are a positive defense, but can change the dynamics of fluid [[pressure]]. | ||
− | + | Metal: | |

− | + | * [[Nickel silver]] — 2600°F (1427°C) | |
− | + | * [[Iron]] — 2680°F (1471°C) | |
− | + | * [[Steel]] — 2710°F (1488°C) | |
− | + | * [[Platinum]] — 3000°F (1649°C) | |
− | + | * [[Adamantine]] — 15000°F (8315°C) | |

+ | == Glass == | ||
+ | [[Glass]] behaves oddly in regards to magma. Glass is, in itself, not magma safe; glass [[instrument|instruments]] will melt in magma. However, glass [[furniture]] will not. So glass [[statue|statues]], [[screw pump|screw pumps]], and [[floodgate|floodgates]] are all fine when submerged in magma.
