High-temp critters
Regarding:
- Beware of cages that contain creature(s) with very high internal temperature, such as fire imps. They cannot harm your dwarves directly while caged, but their body heat can, and dwarves will dutifully continue to haul such a cage until their head melts off. To move "hot" cages safely, try letting a dwarf haul it for a while, then forbid the cage and let them cool off, unforbid it and repeat.
Has anyone actually seen this happen? Dwarves will regularly carry minecarts full of magma significant distances without injury (though wooden wheelbarrows hauling the same minecart disappear due to the heat). I agree that it *should* happen, but hot creatures in cages don't even damage the cage currently.--Loci (talk) 18:54, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
