Dragonfire Tooltip

The tooltip on Dragonfire in the commonly encountered temperatures table is difficult to activate, as with the page link the only portion that does not simply display "DF2014:Dragonfire" is the bottom few pixels. 199.60.104.18 19:07, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

You could add a superscript or asterisk that shows the tooltip instead of the link. Another option would be to simply add a third column for notes instead of using tooltips. I can't decide what the best way to proceed is.CLA (talk) 13:21, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Temperature transfer

Where does the 1985 figure come from? What is meant by "fraction part"? This section is completely unreadable.

1985 = 12000 - 10015, the temperature differential. The other number comes from 1985 = 409 * 4 + 349. It could be rewritten a bit, as whoever added it had the sadly common habit of quoting game code verbatim instead of relaying what it means -- it might be simpler to just say that the temperature change per tick equals the differential divided by the specific heat, and the fractions are retained (although if the fraction itself does not affect the differential, this is slightly incorrect). 89.20.133.78 23:22, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
