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.
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.
- Wasn't that fun?
