'''Magma pools''' are a type of underground feature, essentially [[deep pit]]s reaching into the [[magma sea]] and filled with the titular [[magma]]. They are basically pipes of magma extending up from the [[magma sea]] itself, identifiable by their [[obsidian]] walls (the regular magma sea is surrounded by [[warm stone]]). Magma pools can be just about any height; they might not even reach past the top layer of the magma sea, but can be up to a hundred and some [[z-level]]s high, reaching up about as far as the first [[cavern]] layer. | '''Magma pools''' are a type of underground feature, essentially [[deep pit]]s reaching into the [[magma sea]] and filled with the titular [[magma]].

− | Extremely tall magma pools provide the second shallowest source of [[magma]] in the game, beat only by [[volcano]]es (which reach the surface entirely). They are thus very rare, very desirable embark features, making a fuel-less [[metal industry]] much easier, as well as simplifying the [[pump stack]]s for applications in !!SCIENCE!!. | + | Extremely tall magma pools provide the second shallowest source of [[magma]] in the game, beat only by [[volcano]]es (which reach the surface entirely).

Magma pools will very slowly refill if drained, and thus can occasionally be sloughed off when needed. |
