Does rain put out fires?
« on: December 17, 2009, 11:27:26 pm »
Just wondering for my curiousity.

It seems like it should since a single drop of rain is the same as being dunked into the water from head to toe, but I'm not sure if it checks that 'hey, he's on fire, this rain should put him out' when they get rained on.

:P Kinda weird when a dwarf will not care that he's on fire but will complain when he gets rained on and puts the fire out.

Only in dwarven culture is alcohol poisoning a death worthed investigating, while being impaled through several toes, a eye, and a thumb from a spiraling water[3] is not.  Because everyone knows, the only way a dwarf could get alcohol poisoning is if someone put poison into the alcohol.

Or to be less rude, no, it does not. Only submersing an object in water will put it out.

In the future, I recommend the wiki ( http://dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Main_Page ) or using the search function to avoid rudeness.

Rain does put out grass fires though.
