Stockpiles remove magma
« on: November 11, 2007, 06:08:00 pm »

I accidentally placed a stockplie so that it covered part of a magma filled tunnel and all the magma in the tunnel disapeared. Magma immediately flows back in again as normal. Can even do it inside of the volcano, although it doesn't work on all squares in there for some reason. Guess you could drain an entire volcano by making, removing and remaking stockpiles if you fancied.

Don't know if it happens to water because my fort seems to be stuck in particularly cold mountain and my brook never thaws out.

Thats an interesting find. It does work with water (tested), but only on tiles that you can create a stockpile on (so no rivers or open space).

What a way to remove flooding, eh? Just cut off the source and designate a stockpile.
