Coal on Fire
« on: November 24, 2007, 12:03:00 am »
Uh, how long will it take for a piece of coal to be completely burnt up and stop smoking? Some magma ran into a piece of coal and now my forge area is all smoky.

Might want to wall the area off and forget about it for a while, that could be going on for years.

Ok, maybe your coal isn't in the ground anymore, but that's what SHOULD happen.

As recently as 1981, there were over 1,000 residents living in Centralia, although the population has now dwindled to 11 (we'll say that again: 11 people) as a result of a 40-year mine fire burning beneath the borough (we'll say that again: it's been burning for 40 years... underneath the town).

You should have mined it out a bit more with channels, then put trapdoors on top to drop goblins in there.
