Magma-Safe

In the future, please test your theories before stating them as fact and potentially misleading other players. The game itself requires the anvil to be magma-safe (and even says so if you try to build a magma forge without one), and that magma-safety check IS properly enforced since version 0.34.02. I even tested it just now by creating anvils made of Zinc, Gold, and Steel using a custom reaction, and the magma forge would only allow me to select the magma-safe Steel anvil (while a regular metalsmith's forge also allowed me to select the fire-safe Gold anvil, but not the fire-unsafe Zinc anvil). Just for fun, I also used DFHack (test build in 0.40.04) to trigger a strange mood and produce an artifact Tin anvil, and it also wasn't available for construction in a magma forge. --Quietust (talk) 18:14, 25 July 2014 (UTC)


I was only rephrasing what was already there in clearer language... or so I thought.

You stated that "they are rendered magma-safe by their extra dwarfiness, and may be used safely in a Magma Forge", and that statement is incorrect because they cannot even be selected for use in a magma forge (and because while artifacts can't take damage, they are absolutely capable of being melted. --Quietust (talk) 18:39, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
