Bronze Colossi
« on: March 27, 2014, 09:45:36 pm »
If I were to rig a machine in DF mode to pour lava on a Bronze Colossus, and then when it was out of the lava have the machine pour water on it, would it be frozen in place? As the bronze would harden around the creature's joints I figured it would be logical that it would be frozen in place.

cant say i've ever done such a thing but i'm pretty sure if the collosus isn't going to be affected by the lava pouring water on it will just make it disappear completely, leaving obsidian in it's place.  When you kill a collosus by other means it leaves behind a masterwork quality statue anyway

I am quite looking forward to the next 20 or 30 years or so of developmental madness

Well, if the colossus was out of the lava then there would be no lava to turn into obsidion, just a slightly melted colossus. And I was wondering because I figured it would be perfect to freeze one in place and then to build a statue garden around it.

Well, there goes my dreams of giving one of those nightmares a fate worse than death. At least for a while.

I don't know. It just wouldn't be the same.

No. Magma doesn't stick to things the way water does.

HOWEVER

A bronze colossus will melt in magma. Congrats on an easy kill, but you lose your masterwork bronze statue trophy.

(I suppose the masterwork bronze statue could be considered a fate worse than death, if you think about it: he's basically become immobile just like you wanted.)

I suppose that will have to suffice. Thank you all for tolerating my random question/dream.
