It looks like obsidian will still be used for constructing items out of stone- I'm staring at some obsidian mechanisms right now. I haven't checked yet if it works for items made at a mason's workshop. --Vaniver 21:24, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Actually, what happens is that obsidian is just not being listed in the "economic stone" menu. If it is a layer in your starting location, it will be allowed for construction (green), if it is not a layer, it won't be allowed (red). Since it is not listed, you cannot switch between these two states. To allow obsidian to be listed, you have to remove its "max edge" tag from the raws. You can add it back after switching, and the game will remember its "cannot use" status. 157.82.24.21 08:01, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
Confirmed. I'm using mayday edition v0.31.08, and it worked like you described (thanks!). To clarify, the tag is [MAX_EDGE:20000] under [INORGANIC:OBSIDIAN] in the file data\save\regionX\raw\objects\inorganic_stone_layer.txt --83.183.240.185 18:24, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

im confuzed. whn i make rock short swords they show up as cedar short sword ect not obsidian short sword. it this correct? --gareth 10:26 08 June 2010

v0.31.06 - Also seeing obsidian swords being created as random-wood swords. --awilson

I was not able to make obsidian by dumping a bucket full of water onto magma. Instead I ended up with a 1/7 water tile. Not even any steam.--Passive Fist 12:47, 3 July 2010 (UTC)


So if I make an obsidian short sword, does it deal damage like a regular wooden sword or like the 40D obsidian short swords?

As obsidian. The bug is fixed as of v.x.16, btw.
The sword one may be, but the economic stone listing one isn't. Gaah, I wanted a road paved with obsidian blocks.

Magma-safe items

I've gone ahead and edited the part about "all items being destroyed" in a water+magma reaction tile. Magma-safe items are not destroyed, but are entombed within the tile. If the tile is mined, the items will re-appear. This is quite easy to test. --Heavenfall

This could be quite useful for traps. --GaxkangtheUnbound
