I once desided to do some !!SCEINCE!! with the travel speed of lava and animals. The plan was to drop various animals in a hole with one layer of lava and see if the animal could fall faster then the lava, thus survive. I tryed it with a cat, it died, then with a puppy, it died, then a dog, it died, then a water buffolo..... this one fel through the lava, landed under it, ran around a bit on fire and then died. Then i tried an elephant, which actuly survived! It fell through a layer of lava faster then it could flow down, and survived with some melted fat! Hazzah!

I'm kinda surprised how few people install flooring into their Fortresses. You'd think...

Of the non-flammable variety, to be more specific.

Ah indeed, would've solved my problem that one. Then again, I do like my foresty/grassy inner yard. ;)

I had a similar problem when my dwarves dumped some corpses into a magma channel I hadn't secured. I fully intended to use the chute to dump meltable stuff, like corpses, but then I forgot to put walls around the chute so the magma mist the falling goodies created wouldn't roast my smiths. So of course 3-4 dwarves burned to death the very first time I dumped corpses into it :P

Dirt IS flooring of the non-flammable variety.

Of course I just pave around the magma opening.

Apparently, a puppy slipped in to the volcano which created some magma mist, which then started a bushfire, which then burned 70% of the whole population of my fort. Aren't we having !!FUN!! yet? ;)
