40d:Temperature

From Dwarf Fortress Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
This article is about an older version of DF.

Dwarf Fortress uses its own temperature scale in most cases. So if you see something like [HOMEOTHERM:10067], don't be amazed.

Conversion[edit]

[DF scale] = [FAHRENHEIT] + 9968

[DF scale] = [CELSIUS] * 9/5 + 10000

[DF scale] = [KELVIN] * 9/5 + 9508.33

[DF scale] = [RANKINE] + 9508.33

Temperatures[edit]

Materials listed melt at the given temperature, and boil at the other given temperature. Materials not listed use a default melting point[Verify]. Creatures listed have the given temperature as their body temperature.
