So, I've been pumping some magma around. It tends to make any limestone in its path into molten Limestone with a capital L. Now occasionally I'm also seeing Limestone floating on top of the magma, also capital L. This has a white double squiggly line graphic.

So, while limestone stays put, melts into molten Limestone and eventually disappears, occasionally I'm seeing some Limestone that floats on top of the magma. It also occasionally disappears, or floats past the end of the magma and lands on top of a rock.

Just past the furthest my magma has progressed the tile says

limestone
Limestone
Limestone Cavern Floor

So two questions. Other than the image displayed, is Limestone functionally different from limestone? Where did this new Limestone come from?

[Tenebrais]

Limestone with the capital is molten Limestone which cooled back into a solid.
I've never explored the applications of re-frozen stones (since they tend to only form in the magma tunnels, making them hard to retrieve).

[Greiger]

I haven't seen much use for re solidified stone either.  Most that I ever saw happen was it generate a cleaning task to end it's suffering.  Though I wasn't 100% sure whether it was still molten or not at the time. 

Melted metal bars could probably be melted at a forge for 1/3rd the original content, but I doubt the same would happen for melted ore.

[Derakon]

I don't think you could remelt melting bars, actually; no "glob" type items appear to have any use right now, and that includes everything from vomit to blood to spilled water to molten rock/metal.

[Untelligent]

Fat and tallow are technically globs, but everything else is, as Derakon described, useless.

[Shima]

They have a use.  I once managed to melt my miner with a small amount of magma, and someone decided to come claim his melting pick.

Fun happened.

[Derakon]

Oop, good call Untelligent.
