Getting rid of magma - digging edge of map
« on: February 17, 2011, 10:08:29 am »
I need to get rid of some magma that a trap dumps.  I can corral it into a tunnel but when I extend that tunnel to the edge of the map I see that I can't dig that last square at the edge of the map.  Do I need to use an existing open edge?  Or is there a way to tunnel off the map?

Smooth the last tile on the map edge, then carve fortifications into it. Magma will flow through the fortifications and off the map.

The same method also works for water.
