Magma creatures
« on: July 10, 2012, 03:59:34 am »

I embarked to a volcano, and very quickly built my magma forges and smelters, but I realized I forgot to put in bars or a floodgate or some other device to keep magma creatures out. What can I do to keep them out after the magma is already in-place? Or is it hopeless and I should just keep it patrolled?

You can floor over the entire volcano and use the magma furnaces/forges/etc to block access underneath your metalworks. The impassable tiles you can use for this are dark green with a workshop selected for construction.
