Just pour the magma. It'll slaughter FPS while it's pouring, but when you're done and the fortress is completely submerged (or at a level that suits you, it should go back to normal! Good luck reaching HFS through that though.

Their pathing cost shouldn't be that high while sealed up in the fort though, I should have thought - it's when you open up the fortress that your FPS will plummet.

PS Yo, EJ. Always good to see a fellow X-universe denizen here :)

Socks inspire the same sort of emotions in dwarfs that Helen of Troy inspired in the Achaean Greeks. Although it is said that Helen's face launched a thousand ships, socks have surely launched a million ultimately-fatal Store Owned Item tasks.

I think it's the way towns develop now. In the beginning, people move into a town. Then they start producing tables, which results in more and more tables. Soon tables represent a significant portion of the population, they start lobbying for new laws and regulations, putting people to greater and greater disadvantage...

And why does every first answer to a thread has such a high probability to contain the M-word ?

Tradition.  Someday far from now there will be a thread that cannot be answered with "magma", but that'll be a while.

Magma might not help, but Magma and water will.

Will HFS spawn outside of hell if you fill it with Obsidian?

Then it will be aswered with Magma Sea, the ultimate eraser.

It's treated as completely normal because this is Dwarf Fortress.  There's absolutely nothing wrong with surrounding yourself with a wall of flames, only to later realize that you're surrounded by a wall of flames.
There's nothing that can't be solved by hurling fifteen roc birds at it.
