There's several reports of creatures drowning or suffocating before burning to death even in 7/7 magma, is it possible that dwarves not burning in 1/7 magma is just a bug? | There's several reports of creatures drowning or suffocating before burning to death even in 7/7 magma, is it possible that dwarves not burning in 1/7 magma is just a bug? | ||

I'm running v. .31.16, and I've dug all the way to the bottom of my map without hitting magma (or SMR, or HFS for that matter). Can't scroll down from -23, or designate channels or down stairs. <s>I'm digging to all corners to verify whether other layers/biomes also lack magma</s> Actually, it turns out that the bottom layer of another biome has semi-molten rock as normal. Has anyone else on .16 gotten a map where part of it is diggable all the way to the bottom layer? | I'm running v. .31.16, and I've dug all the way to the bottom of my map without hitting magma (or SMR, or HFS for that matter).

World-gen and embark was done in .31.16 on linux, (although currently the data dir is running on a PC); world_gen.txt is unchanged from .16 distro. Can't remember the exact choices taken in the new .16 world-gen menu, but nothing too weird there.

While digging down for energy source and ''missing'' actual magma pool/sea/pipe/vent/whatever you might encounter two things - '''warm''' stones and '''semi-molten rock''' aside of usual minerals, this is important because if a tile is marked as warm it is bordering ''surface'' of magma and if it is semi-molten - it is next to magma ''below'' the surface. That basically means that if you gt to molten - you are to deep and should retrace z-layers back to find the top of magma body. | While digging down for energy source and ''missing'' actual magma pool/sea/pipe/vent/whatever you might encounter two things - '''warm''' stones and '''semi-molten rock''' aside of usual minerals, this is important because if a tile is marked as warm it is bordering ''surface'' of magma and if it is semi-molten - it is next to magma ''below'' the surface.

'''Semi-molten rock''' forms a layer under the magma sea and above {{l|hell}}. So while finding semi-molten rock does mean the magma sea is above you, finding warm stone doesn't mean you've found the top of the magma sea. Just that there's magma on the other side of that wall. --[[User:DeMatt|DeMatt]] 00:04, 7 November 2010 (UTC) |
:: Not really sure how to piece it together then (bugs perhaps?)... In my case I: a) found no magma between molten rocks and found semi-molten rocks on different z-levels b) found warm stones next (in all possible 26 directions) to magma tiles (i wasn't very clear I guess in definition of "bordering surface of") [[User:Phazorx|Phazorx]] 18:08, 8 November 2010 (UTC) | :: Not really sure how to piece it together then (bugs perhaps?)...

== Lava not turning to obsidian == | == Lava not turning to obsidian == | ||
I found what seems to be a weird glitch. I arranged a collapse to control a lake that happened to be directly above a layer of magma. I expected the collapse to simply break through the floor and turn two tiles into obsidian. Instead, the two tiles completely refused to cool into obsidian and instead vaporized two entire layers worth of water. I'm wondering if this is because of my collapse, or if it is maybe a property of semi-molten rock which is also present here just below the magma. --[[User:Doctorzuber|Doctorzuber]] 10:22, 21 February 2011 (UTC) | I found what seems to be a weird glitch.
