So, has anyone tested if nether caps freeze water? Or if they can be made to freeze water without harming dorfs attempting to carry them?  I'd test my self but haven't gotten that far deep with current fort. Also too lazy too mod so I can embark with right now.--[[User:MadGreyOne|MadGreyOne]] 12:30, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Do nether-cap logs inherit the fixed temperature of the nether-cap tree?--DarthCloakedDwarf 03:15, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

I think the more important question is "Since Nethercaps are chilled to 32 degrees F (if I did the math right), will submerged Nnethercaps cause water to freeze into ice?" I only wish I could test this right now. -Coaldiamond 17:14, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Likely not - items melt/boil at their melting/boiling points, as opposed to freezing/condensing at them. For example, an object with a melting point of 12345 will be solid at 12344 and liquid at 12345. --Quietust 18:41, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
Created a completely nethercap pump and have had it pumping magma for ages now, still no signs of deconstruction or damage, whatsoever. --MLegion 20:59, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
Pump got submerged totally still no damage. --MLegion 21:13, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
