I've modded my game so that goblins are made out of random metals. This means that when I drop goblins into magma, sometimes they melt to death, and sometimes they drown. The thing is, the magmaproof ones should be able to get out just fine. Here's my setup:

Code: [Select]

Top view:
..#######     #: wall     .: ground
..=====..     =: bridge (over magma)
..v====..     v: down ramp (under bridge)
..=====..
..#######

Side view:
__v====__     _: floor     v^: down/up ramp
##^~~~~##     #: wall     ~: magma     =: bridge
#########In other words, I have a retracting bridge over a pit that is full of magma. At one end of the pit is an up-ramp that should provide egress from the pit when the bridge is retracted. However, I've dropped steel goblins right next to the ramp and they've just sat there, drowning to death.

Incidentally, there's a display bug with bridges over ramps - the down ramp displays all the time, "through" the bridge.

One problem, could they swim? If they've no ability to swim they'll just sit there. Like Magma Men. Forever. Or at least in the goblins case until they drown.

Mm. Fair point. Though (most of) the goblins should be able to walk on magma anyway. Stone is dense! ¬.¬
