v0.34:Magma mist
| This article is about an older version of DF. |
Magma mist is the toxic/dangerous yellow mist created when debris from a cave-in splashes into magma, but, unlike water, not when a magma falls down a Z-level. It sets on fire all non-fire-resistant creatures that share a tile with it, and in earlier versions would instantly kill most creatures who breathed it in. Luckily, it generally disappears quickly, as not much will usually be produced; cave-ins only cause a small amount of it.
It is called lava mist when a cave-in falls into lava, but is arguably similar.
Preventative Measures
If you are being careful around magma, it isn't very likely that you'll run into magma mist at all, let alone have to worry about your dwarves breathing it in. The simplest thing you can do to prevent it is to watch out when dealing with mining above magma, or channeling above magma in particular.
