I've heard stories of this happening to other players, and it seems to result from corrupted raws leading to the creation of clothing made from " leather" (i.e. no creature name) which has a boiling point of 0, causing both migrants and caravans to be instantly frozen in a cloud of '''boiling leather''' the instant they enter the map. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 23:25, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Mine is probably in way rougher condition than yours since I've just started looking into this, although I will point out that I have found it's pretty useful to organize gems into rough families of related gems, especially since many of these relationships aren't immediately apparent (eg., aquamarine, goshenite, heliodor and morganite are all beryls, as are emeralds). I also think the wiki could present this topic with more clarity - give me a shout if you'd like to collaborate a bit.[[User:Nemokara|Nemokara]] 06:29, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Please try to refrain from telling people to "lurk moar" when you disagree with them. It is the same as saying "Shut up." This is a wiki. And this game is not an open book. Given that your name is not "ToadyOne" you are not an expert on the inner workings of this game. You are experimenting and making hypothesis like everyone else. For instance, you seemed surprised to learn there is a "liquids" category in the stock screens, and assumed it would show "billion-gazillions" of units of water. If you had bothered to look, you would know exactly what it shows. I would think someone writing a well guide should know about the "liquids" stock category. Perhaps you need to lurk and experiment moar, missing a simple and important thing like that. (See? Doesn't feel so nice, does it?) GhostDwemer 20:33, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
