[Aaarrgh!]

Which page is it on?

Magma-safe materials, second paragraph.

[Zorae]

Does material size tell you how many bars/cloth/etc it takes to make something? I need to make a ton of screw pumps and just want to know how much ore/bars I need per screw pump

[Telgin]

It's directly related I believe.  I can't remember the exact conversion ratio, but it was 1 bar per 3 material size.  Or 9 adamantine wafers per material size.

Magma-safe materials, second paragraph.

I think the point is that the game has no internal notion of an item being magma-safe.  The point is you can't edit the Dyer's workshop building to only take magma safe materials (with the [MAGMA_BUILD_SAFE]  token) because the game won't consider barrels to be magma safe.  Even if the barrel is made from nickel and won't melt.

What's the simplest way to position a Mine-cart on one specific tile of Track? Channel out the ceiling and Pit it from above? The tile in question is isolated... it has no other Track tiles adjacent.

[kingubu]

If they can walk to it, create a (h)route, create a (s)top on the square, (v)assign a minecart to the route.  They'll carry the cart there and set it down.

Is the top surface of a Fortification walkable? Do liquids drain through the top and bottom of a Fortification?

I know that missiles will pass through fortifications... what happens when a missile that's skipping (or bouncing) across the ground crosses a tile which is the top (walkable?) surface of a Fortification... does it continue skipping forward, or drop vertically through the Fortification to the level below?

... I'm building a Squirt Gun, by the way.

[Iceflame]

Is the top surface of a Fortification walkable?

Engraved fortifications: yes.
Built fortifications: no.

[kingubu]

Fortifications do not pass liquid downwards. They have an implied floor.  Like a constructed upwards staircase.

Rat-boogers. Back to the drawing board.

Can dragonfire kill husks?

Giant Cave Spiders.  If a TRAINED gcs shoots webs on the ground, will regular dwarves (non web collectors) be trapped by the webs?  Not if they get hit by collateral flying webs, but if they walk over a web on the ground.

Yes, they get webbed.  I just embarked with 20 GCS.  For funsies.  Webs everywhere.  Animals and dwarfs stuck all over the place.

I'm setting up a well, and i have two questions:

1. Will water rise up a well and flood the room it is in?
2. Will soil floors stop water?

2. Will soil floors stop water?

Yes, if the water below is sourced above the well.
Yes.  Although I've never thought about it before.  That is weird.
