[[Magma-safe]] materials consist of [[pig iron]], [[iron]], [[steel]], [[nickel]], [[nickel silver]], [[platinum]], [[bauxite]], ([[raw adamantine|raw]]) [[adamantine]], and [[fire imp]] [[bone]]s & [[leather]]. It can be difficult to control [[magma]] flow with [[floodgate]]s since [[mechanism]]s must be made out of [[rock]]s, almost none of which are magma-safe ([[bauxite]] and [[raw adamantine]] being the sole exceptions). | [[Magma-safe]] materials consist of [[pig iron]], [[iron]], [[steel]], [[nickel]], [[nickel silver]], [[platinum]], [[bauxite]], ([[raw adamantine|raw]]) [[adamantine]], and [[fire imp]] [[bone]]s & [[leather]].

− | Strictly speaking, only a material which is solid and stable at the temperature {{ct|12000}} (i.e. MELTING_POINT/BOILING_POINT/IGNITE_POINT/HEATDAM_POINT greater than 12000 and COLDDAM_POINT less than 12000) is supposed to be considered magma-safe. | + | Strictly speaking, only a material which is solid and stable at the temperature {{ct|12000}} (i.e. MELTING_POINT/BOILING_POINT/IGNITE_POINT/HEATDAM_POINT greater than 12000 and COLDDAM_POINT less than 12000) is supposed to be considered magma-safe; due to a bug, however, the game only checks that the material has no IGNITE_POINT defined. For this reason, [[ice]] is considered to be magma-safe. |
Note that although the above metals are all magma-safe, their [[ore]]s (excluding raw adamantine) are '''not''' - thus, while a [[platinum]] floodgate will operate properly in magma, [[native platinum]] mechanisms will melt after several seconds. | Note that although the above metals are all magma-safe, their [[ore]]s (excluding raw adamantine) are '''not''' - thus, while a [[platinum]] floodgate will operate properly in magma, [[native platinum]] mechanisms will melt after several seconds. | ||
