The Bowyer has been caught in a cloud of boiling magma!
« on: February 21, 2011, 09:54:40 pm »
I was lazy and decided to do a cave in for my moat so my dabbling miner/bowyer dies as expected so as I'm looking through the reports of him dieing it says caught in a cloud of boiling magma! This is on Z-level 2 no were near magma. Why did this happen.

Don't worry, it's a known bug. The bowyer was hit by rock dust from the cave-in, but the dust uses the "gas" name of rock rather than the "powder" name. It isn't actually hot, but it can fling them through the air with some force.

I just love the fact that DF has a separate set of rules for "Boiling Magma".  I mean, we're not just content with rocks, nor with magma, but boiling magma!
