Imagine my joy at my steel aqueduct over the magma finally being completed!  Imagine my horror as yet another aqueduct bug means that it instantly fills with lava, killing my metalsmith and ruining all of my hard work.

So, I guess that the problem was that the aqueduct didn't have all of its end pieces safely on dry ground.  Or is it only the center end pieces that are required to be over floor?  I haven't found a single section of magma flow that I can span with a single aqueduct and still have all end pieces over floor.

Has anyone actually been able to cross the magma with a water aqueduct?  What was required for you to do so?

The only way that an aqueduct would work is that both ends are clear any water/lava tile.

Which, unfortunately, means you can't place them in series.

Yeah, I was able to find a section of lava where I could place the center of each end on dry land, but 2 or 3 of the corners were on lava.  No dice.  Still flooded with magma.

Use floodgates and a bridge. On the other side you can make the water fall on a channel again.

Hmm, I'll give that a try!
