:The [SHARP] tag in the raws controls whether you can use the rock for making swords. As far as I know, obsidian is the only type of rock that uses this tag, but you can mod in any number of custom rocks (or add the tag to all the existing rocks) hence why it doesn't ask for obsidian specifically. --[[User:Morlark|Morlark]] | :The [SHARP] tag in the raws controls whether you can use the rock for making swords.

Allright fresh question on this one for you guys; I haven't checked the RAW's; and it probably needs to get done again, but was damage for rock short swords ever confirmed to be the same as the damage for steel? It doesn't make much difference because im only using them for trap components to keep some stonecrafters working all the time and because it was an easy side effect to my screw the world device. --[[User:Silver|Silver]] 01:22, 21 July 2008 (EDT) | Allright fresh question on this one for you guys; I haven't checked the RAW's; and it probably needs to get done again, but was damage for rock short swords ever confirmed to be the same as the damage for steel?

Shouldn't obsidian technically be magma-safe? It's got a melting point around 13000 (650 C), which is above magma... and, rationally, if it weren't magma-safe, wouldn't magma pools/pipes just melt through their "containers"? | Shouldn't obsidian technically be magma-safe?

:if by "technically" you mean "in real life", then... well, we don't have time to even start to scratch that surface. It's not magma-safe in the game, and that's all this wiki addresses. There are mods that change the melting temperatures of the stones in the game - see the "modding" subsection of the [[forums]].--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 05:16, 2 March 2010 (UTC) | :if by "technically" you mean "in real life", then... well, we don't have time to even start to scratch that surface.
