− | + | [[Fire-safe materials]] are building materials that cannot catch on [[Fire|fire]]. These include [[Stone|stone]], [[Glass|glass]], and [[Metal|metal]]. [[Wood]] is not a fire-safe material, and neither is [[charcoal]] or [[coke]] (even though they are [[bar]]). Fire-safe materials are only required when the object is going to come into contact with extreme heat, such as a [[wood furnace]], [[smelter]], [[forge]], [[kiln]] or [[glass furnace]], or for [[magma]] versions of these facilities. | |

− | [[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 | + | [[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. [[Ice]] is also a fire-safe material... somehow. Constructions will never melt or burn, but natural ice walls/floors/ramps/stairs will. |
− | + | Note that constructions ([[Wall]], [[Floor]], [[Ramp]], [[Stairs]]) can never burn, regardless of what they're made of. | |
− | + | Not to be confused with [[magma-safe materials]]. Many fire-safe materials will still melt when ''submerged'' in magma, but that is not necessary for buildings that are powered by the stuff or items like doors or grates that may be adjacent to or in contact with magma, but are never surrounded on all sides by it. | |
