Can it be done? Can it be set on fire?

[Em3rgency]

 It can be done, it won't burn. For extra dwarfyness make it soap instead.

Won't burn? I thought it would. Roads are not constructions like floors, which means they can be destroyed(such as setting the building contents on fire). It might be a hell of a lot more economical to turn the bitimous coal into coke, and build it from coke, though.

although if you build a rode out of coke some trolls may want to snort it.

I just built a paved road out of bituminous coal blocks, but dumping magma didn't seem to have any effect on it. Even after manually setting the blocks on fire (using DFHack), standing on the road didn't seem to inflict any damage.

Thank you for the science done! Well, I guess that concludes the debate... too bad it is harmless :-(

Or you can always make a channel of magma leading to your fort entrance, and see if anyone mistakes it for a road.

I believe Grates and Hatches can be lit on fire. Now, would caravans treat those as valid floorspace? I know invaders would, though their buildingdestroyers would try and destroy them too, and they'd do so from 1 tile away- would they still burn?
