Lava Falls
« on: August 04, 2008, 08:01:05 pm »
Ok to my experience lava falls are a bad idea. At least internal lava falls, because even if lava does not flow upward it can still over flow. I am going to attempt a lava fall outside of my fortress next.

I love how he told us what bad stuff happened without specifically telling us.

Lava falls are entirely possible, just slow, because magma is, try using it as a fort defence for bonus points.

For double secret bonus points, pump the magma so it's scary fast.

 Achievement completed: Loosing is Fun!
 
 Be sure to either have the lava flow back to wherever you got it from. And pump lava from near the base of the source. So if you have a magma pipe, somehow tap into it at -5 z-levels from the top, and have the outflow flow back to the top.

 That and/or have a chasm/edge of map runoff option so your pipe won't start overflowing.

 Wait a sec...

 You know al those dam projects? Replace water with magma!

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Yes, alot.

So, one could painstakingly make a goblin incinerator by putting a lavafall in the middle of a room with released goblins. Like a goblin smelter, but also keeps goblin bones and skulls. Hmm...

Yup, I totally tried to have a lava fall running through the center of my meeting hall, dropping into an area for my forges... it was all going perfectly until I noticed dwarves burning to death and the 'basement' slowly filling with lava.
