Importing of magma.
« on: March 25, 2009, 11:38:43 am »
Dwarven caravans should be able to ship steel bins of magma to you, and vice versa, by way of a well over the magma.

Considering someone's just left a shoe on my trade depot, and nobody clears anything up, I'd love some way of clearing the place up with some heat.

Elves do it in trees. Humans do it in wooden structures. Dwarves? Dwarves do it underground. With magma.

That's rather silly

Use Tweak to raise the square's temperature. Don't forget to reset it

Yeah, I don't know if I can get behind this. It just seems completely unfeasible in real life, and though I know that DF is nothing like reality, the idea of magma staying liquid on the surface for a long period of time breaks my suspension of belief.

There's also the minor issue of the temperature of the steel being raised to the temperature of the magma, making the bin impossible to move.

How about the Army Arc, being done right now? One of the features planned (possibly coded already!) for the next version to be released is making military dwarves sort out their belongings. Since unclaimed clothing items are already taken to the stockpile, and civilian dwarves store owned items whenever they're not busy doing something else, the shoe should be gone eventually as long as you give your dwarves some time to devote to hauling shoes around. Using molten rock as a cleaning agent is incredibly silly. What's next, dwarves eating magma to gain fire resistance? Farming magma for fire flowers?
