40d Talk:Fire
How does fire spread in the new version. I don't have magma on my map so I haven't been able to experiment.
Maybe someone with experience could write up on the risks, ie how it spreads, how long it burns, how dwarfs react and what can be done to fight/prevent it. --Lucid 21:09, 31 October 2007 (EDT)
god save us if it is affected by the mud/blood bug too Thatguyyaknow 13:07, 8 November 2007 (EST)
no it ain't the blood bug, it's the fire bug. Someone copy and paste it from the old wiki. --Frostedfire 22:14, 14 November 2007 (EST)
I can confirm that fire spreads to adjucent squares. My fortress catched fire (long story) and wooden barrels and bins on stockpiles burned. When they completety burned out their contents catched fire and many piles of 20 !!leather!!, 20 !!cloth!! and 20 or more !!seads!! generated very heavy lags. I didn't pay attention if it spreads diagonally but a burning item on the floor makes all 8 squares around it "warm stone wall" just as magma do to it's 4 directly adjacent squares.--Another 14:26, 26 November 2007 (EST)
Is there a way to intentionally start a fire? Diabl0658 20:12, 5 January 2008 (EST)
- Dig into the side of a pool of lava. Remove a construction holding back lava. Open a wooden door holding back lava. Open a floodgate to lava. Some combination of pumps, stairs, ramps, walls, and stockpiles will allow you to choose what gets set on fire and where. Rkyeun 00:59, 9 March 2008 (EST)
