Simply put, will a resevoir filled with water is immersed in magma, yet still outdoors, freeze?

Importaint to an impending mega-project so any help is appreciated

If you have magma within 1, maybe 2 tiles it won't freeze. Definitely 1 in the Z direction, so you can have a matching layer underneath. Difficult for deep water, might cause cave ins.

[Grendus]

If the water is touching a warm tile (which usually means it's touching magma, although I've had bugs where the warm flag remained flipped after the magma was cast into obsidian) then it cannot freeze in cold weather. However, for multiple z-levels of ice it can cause cave ins if none of the second z-level tiles freeze to touch a solid wall or floor.

So if the water was on Z-level 0 (for demo purposes) and submerged the magma from Z -1 would keep it liquid unless it was obsidian previously? The containment unit is a constuction, I don't know if that changes anything or not.
