Zombies and Magma
« on: October 29, 2012, 08:21:08 pm »
So I understand that magma will not kill a zombie currently, but what will happen if I drop a zombie down a volcano? Will they just sink to the bottom and wander around in the magma sea?

I believe contact with the semi-molten rock at the bottom may obliterate it.  It does for items, at least.

Even if the magma sea had a normal floor though, it's quite a fall to the bottom, likely sufficient to de-animate the corpse, turning it into a magma-incineratable item.

Well I had a zombie fb revive in my garbage chute before I could pull the lever for the hatch. It just sat on the smr floor at the bottom of the magma sea for a few months. Then I got the idea to dump a bucket of water down the hatch.
