There's several reports of creatures drowning or suffocating before burning to death even in 7/7 magma, is it possible that dwarves not burning in 1/7 magma is just a bug? | There's several reports of creatures drowning or suffocating before burning to death even in 7/7 magma, is it possible that dwarves not burning in 1/7 magma is just a bug? | ||

:::Following this test I went ahead and flooded the whole fortress in magma verifying that magma can still kill dwarves, just not as efficiently as expected. The magma also left many objects fully submerged but unharmed which is also quite strange.[[User:Doctorzuber|Doctorzuber]] 16:52, 11 April 2010 (UTC) | :::Following this test I went ahead and flooded the whole fortress in magma verifying that magma can still kill dwarves, just not as efficiently as expected.

::::I had some fun with a volcano, underground caves, a reptile man tribe, my animals and at last my own dwarves. I dropped my animals down into the volcano but I was somehow disappointed by seeing a living dog "diving" in lava. He fell all the about 90 z.levels down, without even getting hurt. When he landed in the magma see far deep underground, he started to burn/bleed/die. I repeated this with my dwarves and other animals. It seems, falling THROUGH lava does not hurt only standing in it. Maybe it has some other reasons, but all my dwarves/animals reached the bottom magmasea unharmed.--[[User:Niggy|Niggy]] 16:45, 16 April 2010 (UTC) | ::::I had some fun with a volcano, underground caves, a reptile man tribe, my animals and at last my own dwarves.

In a previous embark in a previous worldgen (.12), I had dug down to the magma sea and channeled into it to prepare to pump magma. Every so often, the tile above the channel would fill with 3-4/7 magma, floading the area around it with 1/7. This wasn't at the top of the sea, and there was magma at the level of and levels above where I was going to build my pump right nearby. No magma creatures were nearby. Magma pressure, a bug with the boundaries of the magam sea, or something else? This would only happen every several game days or so.

I'm running v. .31.16, and I've dug all the way to the bottom of my map without hitting magma (or SMR, or HFS for that matter). Can't scroll down from -23, or designate channels or down stairs. <s>I'm digging to all corners to verify whether other layers/biomes also lack magma</s> Actually, it turns out that the bottom layer of another biome has semi-molten rock as normal. Has anyone else on .16 gotten a map where part of it is diggable all the way to the bottom layer? | I'm running v. .31.16, and I've dug all the way to the bottom of my map without hitting magma (or SMR, or HFS for that matter).

World-gen and embark was done in .31.16 on linux, (although currently the data dir is running on a PC); world_gen.txt is unchanged from .16 distro. Can't remember the exact choices taken in the new .16 world-gen menu, but nothing too weird there.

While digging down for energy source and ''missing'' actual magma pool/sea/pipe/vent/whatever you might encounter two things - '''warm''' stones and '''semi-molten rock''' aside of usual minerals, this is important because if a tile is marked as warm it is bordering ''surface'' of magma and if it is semi-molten - it is next to magma ''below'' the surface. That basically means that if you gt to molten - you are to deep and should retrace z-layers back to find the top of magma body. | While digging down for energy source and ''missing'' actual magma pool/sea/pipe/vent/whatever you might encounter two things - '''warm''' stones and '''semi-molten rock''' aside of usual minerals, this is important because if a tile is marked as warm it is bordering ''surface'' of magma and if it is semi-molten - it is next to magma ''below'' the surface.
