Magma Temperature

Where exactly did you get the idea that magma's in-game temperature was 12,568? I've performed numerous tests (mainly involving dropping materials into magma and adjusting their melting points until they actually melted) which placed the temperature of magma at exactly 12000, a value which is confirmed by using dtil and examining the temperature of a tile containing magma. --Quietust 17:58, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

• Sorry, it was from a forum post. I realise my mistake now, but I'm too embarrassed to undo it. Could you please fix it? --Eagle0600 03:54, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
  • I already reverted it. --Quietust 04:01, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

plant table

Plants and trees are different - one gives food, the other gives wood. I'd leave the trees out of that table. (There's already a sim table on the tree page.) Also, if you're going to do it, do it up - in 40d there's a plant table with ALL the info - AG/UG, growing seasons, growing speed, end products - lots of bells and whistles that could be added. Check out the AV link to the existing 40d page - no reason to reinvent the wheel (except for practice). --Albedo 05:11, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

a general plant table because they share an object in the raws.

If you see something they have in common - and can still draw a distinction between "crop plants" and "wood plants" for articles on those - then by all means, run with it! I just didn't want to see you put effort into something that would be half-redundant and so then get edited down later as such.--Albedo 05:22, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Template Parameters

I'm not quite sure why you made the {{unlessempty}} template, since MediaWiki natively provides the exact functionality you were looking for - if you try to insert a template parameter using the syntax {{{paramname|default}}}, then it will use the value "default" if no value is specified when the template is actually transcluded. I've drastically simplified the {{plant table row}} template, making {{unlessempty}} unnecessary. --Quietust 13:14, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

I used that template because default doesn't work when a parameter is defined as blank. --Eagle0600 15:33, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
