Magma Transportation
« on: November 06, 2012, 12:08:10 pm »

What's the best way of moving magma up 100 z-levels where the rest of my fortress is?  I hate to ask, but would it just be easier to move my entire fortress down near the magma?

Is one way, I mis-read your title as Magma teleporation, but this' related anyway.

Another method is to use screw pump stack or minecart pump.

Personally, I don't find it worth the effort to move magma UP and moves a small part of fortress down there. Though if you don't mind spending a few years engineering ways to make it work, it could be worth to you.

I was just also wanting avoid destroying my fortress due to framerate.
