The example directly on the page is difficult to understand--some diagrams would be helpful. Really, detailed designs like that should be on user pages anyway. It would be swell if the person who added this design put it on their own user page and linked to that from here. --[[User:King of the Internet|King of the Internet]] 01:29, 9 August 2009 (UTC) | The example directly on the page is difficult to understand--some diagrams would be helpful.

:::Last I checked, magma was more than capable of melting rough gems (an earlier fort has an invisible glob of molten gray chalcedony in Z-Stocks from bug 000525/000595/000641). --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 05:17, 3 February 2010 (UTC) | :::Last I checked, magma was more than capable of melting rough gems (an earlier fort has an invisible glob of molten gray chalcedony in Z-Stocks from bug 000525/000595/000641). --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 05:17, 3 February 2010 (UTC) | ||

This is a fiddly bug which came up in a large batch of obsidian farming. What I'm seeing is a weird random looking pattern of warm stone inside my freshly created obsidian. Digging this obsidian back out I get a big clue, there is molten stone in the farm area, which appears again when I dig the obsidian back out. I clear out the entire area, haul off all the stone, and use several fortifications to insure that my magma pipe cant pump any more molten rock into the area. I refill the area, and I still have this random pattern of warm stone. I then clear out a new untouched area and repeat the test. This time I clear all possible stone before filling the area. This time no warm stone appears. | This is a fiddly bug which came up in a large batch of obsidian farming.

Some things I'm unclear on. My results are a bit uncertain because of how flow pushes objects around it's difficult to get a good clear test. It's unclear to me so far if the molten stone will be removed when it is encased in obsidian, although no amount of time passing seems to remove these warm stone flags that are created this way. I've been cussing at this bug for a few days and still don't fully understand it yet. [[User:Doctorzuber|Doctorzuber]] 19:20, 31 March 2010 (UTC) | Some things I'm unclear on.
