[[Flux]] materials, such as [[limestone]] blocks, which are consumed in the purification of [[pig iron]] to produce [[steel]], are considered fire-safe. It is perfectly fine to use [[limestone]] as a flux material to make steel in a limestone smelter. Constructions will never melt or burn, regardless of what they're made of, but natural ice walls/floors/ramps/stairs will melt. | [[Flux]] materials, such as [[limestone]] blocks, which are consumed in the purification of [[pig iron]] to produce [[steel]], are considered fire-safe.

− | Fire-safety is | + | Fire-safety is ''supposed'' to require the item's material to be stable at temperatures below {{ct|11000}}; due to a bug, however, it only requires that the material is incapable of burning (by having its IGNITE_POINT set to 'NONE'). For this reason, [[ice]] is considered to be fire-safe. |
This is not to be confused with [[magma-safe materials]]; many fire-safe materials will still melt when submerged in [[magma]]. Generally, though, using fire-safe materials is sufficient for buildings that are powered by magma or items like doors or floodgates that may be adjacent to or in contact with magma, but are never surrounded on all sides by it. | This is not to be confused with [[magma-safe materials]]; many fire-safe materials will still melt when submerged in [[magma]].
