A border of exclamation marks (!!) on an item or dwarf name indicates that it is on fire. Items on fire also release smoke and ignite adjacent items.[Verify]
This had problems in the old version, in that the burning items set other nearby items on fire. A good example:
- Dwarf gets hit by fireball from fire imp at the magma forge
- Dwarf runs around his business, as he takes burning damage he goes for a rest, and heads for the barracks
- The dwarf dies on the way. someone comes and picks up his !!giant cave spider silk shoe!! and puts it on. His clothing catches on fire
- This dwarf also feels hurt and heads for the barracks, but this one gets on the wooden bed, lighting that up.
- Nearby beds light up; dwarves sleep on that bed and the others near it and get lit up themselves, as well as the dwarves going for the !!cave spider silk robe!!
- Some of these dwarves go past the alcohol stores for a drink, these light up. now a fair portion of the fortress is on fire.
- Remaining dwarves will have other barracks to sleep in, and some of them have rooms. they go back and set more of their stuff on fire
- Three months later: everything is burning and all your dwarves are dead because none of them fell in the river.
