How much of this has been verified? Schm0 06:16, 20 November 2007 (EST)
- I think it's all based on inference from raw files. I have been meaning to test bauxite or get someone else to do it, but haven't run into any or been very convincing VengefulDonut 10:22, 20 November 2007 (EST)
- I haven't run into any Bauxite either, and I was on hunt for it. After starting fortresses on 20+ map squares with Sediment layers, revealing it then exporting images of the layers to analyze...I haven't seen a single Bauxite deposit. Makes me wonder if it's a bug, or if I'm that unlucky. My theory is that Bauxite mechanisms won't melt under magma. --TheUbie 12:53, 20 November 2007 (EST)
- I had the same idea :) VengefulDonut 16:40, 20 November 2007 (EST)
- Man I hope it's true. Bump that number up to 35 regions with Sediment layers and no Bauxite. Beginning to think it's a bug. --TheUbie 04:29, 21 November 2007 (EST)
- Isn't the easiest way to test this either to make some critter drop bauxite, or mod a stone you have to being the same temperature rating and see if that survives. --Shades 06:51, 21 November 2007 (EST)
- Is it possible to order bauxite mechanisms from the caravan? --Alfador 11:44, 21 November 2007 (EST)
- Actually, the easiest way was for me to edit the raw and put bauxite in every layer in the game. Fired up the game, created a new world, found a magma vent and bam I was in business. The verdict? It's magma-safe. Both Bauxite floodgates and bauxite mechanisms resist the magma, and the bauxite rocks that I left on the floor were unharmed by the magma flow. Bauxite: confirmed. With the iron and steel confirmation, I would believe that anything given the melting point stat above magma's temperature is magma safe. Now, if we can just get Toady to make magma replenish, we could make some amazing magma traps with machines made of iron/steel and bauxite! --TheUbie 15:01, 21 November 2007 (EST)
Iron is definitly magma safe. I've repeatedly flooded goblins with magma, and only their iron equipment remained. Iron floodgates are not destroyed from magma either ( although their mechanisms are. ) Iron screw pumps can pump magma with no problem. IRON IS A OK.--GauHelldragon 05:21, 21 November 2007 (EST)
