Lava ignorance
« on: October 30, 2006, 11:24:00 am »
I've had several dwarves throw themselves into the lava on account of trying to retrieve a rock from it. Naturally they failed to succeed, as to do so would have require they swim downstream several tiles to retreive the rock, and upstream again, carrying the rock, to return to safety. The part they were jumping into was in an aquaduct, if that makes a difference.

Yeah, lava aqueducts are treated as empty. It is a known bug. Lava channels are sweet though, so just make sure the rest of the aqueduct is blocked off. I usually use statues for this.

kinda like:

Good to know. Next time I play I'm lanching my first lavaduct.
