Trees are immune to lava
« on: August 29, 2006, 01:02:00 am »

Dear Toady,

When I ordered a river of molten flame to be loosed upon the unsuspecting surface-world yesterday, I was quite disappointed to note that the very symbols of our accursed dependence on the sun -- the trees -- somehow managed to escape the wave of fiery destruction. I'm sure you can see that this is a serious problem and needs to be resolved immediately.

Regards,
Gurney, Master of Likotokang, Xesorslozgo Angstur

Dear Gurney,

I can't help have read your letter addressed to some batracien-like fellow.

You raise a very acute problem. Indeed, this fellow you are refering to, who as he calls himself might be "Great", has already spotted that need and refered to it in its req, core or bloat list...

So, yeah, one day, this elf scum will suffer.

Yours, Flap

They're the same species of tree as the ones in Starcraft. The ones whose leaves don't even get ruffled by a point-blank nuclear explosion.

It's not just Dwarf Fortress in space?

Unfortunately yes, I delayed tree death because I did not have fire.  I wanted the trees to burst into flame so you could enjoy the deaths properly, but right now you can't enjoy them at all.  They just kind of sit there and make the red screen look more christmasy.
