Is it true that the magma eventually does not go further anymore because it vaporises since it does not provide enough flow to replace the magma that vaporises?

[BurnedToast]

magma only vaporizes (like water) if it is at 1/7 depth for some time. Generally speaking, no matter how long your channel the magma will flow fast enough that it will not stay at 1/7 anywhere long enough to vaporize.

Now if you try some super wide channel with a very small connection to the magma, or some other odd thing like that you might run into trouble. But for a standard 1 or 2 tile wide channel it should be OK.

I remember making a channel that split several times giving each of them too little magma and it all vaporized.
