Magma + water = exposion + Volcanic ash (powderd Obsidian)

[old: Magma + water = Obsidian]

The explotion sould put the Volcanic ash as dustlings next to the explotion, and the explotion sould take out the walls next to it, creating more space for water and magma to mix (sould not dig down).

The Volcanic ash sould then be awailable to fertilize fealds if collected in bags. 

Also, mud sould be able to be collected in bags, and used to improve fealds. (thus inorder to build a feald on bare rock, one must have mud in bags)

Why would they explode?

the sudden expansion of water turning into a gas in a confined space can explode.

Perhaps this will come in when we have air pressure.

So a mix of water and magma will produce X amount of steam, if there is no room for the steam to go into in t time, there will be an explosion, cursing the Obsidian into muddy volcanic ash, and do other fun stuff.

Yeah, it's sort of ridiculous how water + magma currently creates a tidy little block of obsidian with only a placid puff of steam.

Quote from: US Geological Survey
If lava enters a body of water or water enters a lava tube, the water may boil violently and cause an explosive shower of molten spatter over a wide area.

...

Deaths attributed to lava flows are often due to related causes, such as explosions when lava interacts with water, the collapse of an active lava delta, asphyxiation due to accompanying toxic gases, pyroclastic flows from a collapsing dome, and lahars from meltwater.
