Future plans[edit]
What happens when you build a tomb, then take the roof off[edit]
Tombs can't be built outdoors. What happens if you take the roof off an already constructed tomb?
Different methods of building under magma[edit]
In the Complete and Utter Newby Tutorial for Dwarf Fortress, I ended up trying to flood the place when I was finished, and as the water started covering the magma it, obviously, began turning into obsidian. However occasionally water would flow diagonally and create a wall/block of obsidian not properly connected which would collapse into the magma pipe. However, after a few times of this happening they began to *stack*. It got me thinking: would it be possible to drip water into a pipe in a controlled fashion to create naturally forming walls of Obsidian at the bottom of a magma pipe? If so, you could slowly build a closed section of obsidian walls to the surface, then build a pump over the top and pump all of the magma out from the middle?

Different methods of building underwater[edit]
Like magma, but in reverse. Harder to achieve, but it could be useful, surely. Also to consider: dropping walls into rivers, see if they remain standing. Does water slow the descent of objects, so they won't crash into rubble when they reach the bottom of the river/ocean? What about natural rock walls?
