Do we really need the major spoiler warning there? There are already spoiler links on the two pages that are linked under the warning. --[[User:DUMBELLS|dUMBELLS]] 19:58, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

==Draining the magma sea==
 
While trying make obsidian around the adamantine i noticed that the obsdian was falling down and disappearing as stated in the article, however this does cause a 7/7 tile of magma to be removed and does not seem to regenerate. Would pumping an endless water source into the magma sea thus drain it eventually? [[User:MLegion|MLegion]] 11:34, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

:This works but places where the magma touches the map edge work as endless magma supplies, so you can only drain levels or areas that are not connected to a map edge. Dropping water on the map edges turning them into obsidian seems to work to get around that though. [[User:MLegion|MLegion]] 10:43, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Decided to try draining the sea, only to find myself unable to find a single tile where there was an unbroken line of magma from the top of the sea to the bottom, it appears that when the sea is generated it makes sure that none of the top of the magma sea can be traced directly down to the bottom floor, it would be nice if somene could verify that it's not just me or this particular embark.

== Verify rock collapsing into the magma sea vanishes. ==
 
 
I've been trying to make a pillar of obsidian in the middle of the magma sea by dropping water from above, and absolutely no progress has been made. The water falls into the magma, and I can't actually catch any obsidian being produced. Steam and mist are produced, and if you trace it down the layers of magma, it turns into red sand. I get collapse messages every few seconds, but no matter when I pause it I can't find a square of obsidian anywhere. --[[Special:Contributions/75.234.2.101|75.234.2.101]] 19:19, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 
:Anything that falls on to the semi-molten rock just vanishes. --[[User:MLegion|MLegion]] 18:31, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
