Hot Bath
« on: November 27, 2007, 04:36:00 am »
If I build a steel floor over magma, wall it in and then fill it with water will it heat up? Will it steam? Will the dwarves leap in and luxuriate in a hot bath?

I was actually going to suggest communal bathhouses and heating systems just yesterday. However, the Romans used heated rocks. Obviously dwarves must use magma to heat their baths. ^-^

Didn't the Romans try to heat their bath houses that way in Pompeii?  :)

They knew it was a volcano, they did not know it was active.
