Where is the impassible tiles on the magma smelter and the magma forge? I keep getting magma crabs throwing shit at me!

[Sirbug]

You can always recognize them when placing - Xs are slightly darker shade of green. I think smelter has impassable top-center, and forge has left and right tiles in middle row.

Not sure if they would stop magma crabs.

It better. I just had to savescum because I lost a major dwarf after his arm got shredded open and then the crab finished him off. Wasn't happy...

If you put impassible tiles over a magma channel, it will stop creatures from coming up from below, even building destroyers.

You see, hes not coming up, hes spewing crap OUT of the channel.

If it helps, the tiles on the magma forge are:

X = impassable

OOO
XOX
OOO

For every other vanilla magma-workshop it is

OXO
OOO
OOO

If you can, see if you can cut off the crab's line of sight into the forges. If it's really bad though, you may want to seal off the room and wait for the crab to leave. If you are feeling brave, you can send some marksdwarves to kill it, but magma crabs don't have blood, so you'd be relying on a lucky bolt to it's brain.

Though once an impassable tile is set up, nothing should be able to shoot through it, or destroy it from below.

I was hoping to hear that. Thank you so much! And the entire time, I've been doing the vanilla magma-shops the opposite way, thinking it was the bottom center

It happens. I didn't even know there were impassable workshop tiles until a few weeks ago when I noticed it on a wiki page

Wiki didn't say which tiles were impassible...

Youy should copy/paste it in there if you can for the magma smelters/magma forges/magma kilns/magma stuff so idiots like me don't have to panic so much

[BlackFlyme]

They already have little green diagrams similar to mine, but with all X's instead of X's and O's next to a picture of each workshop, but I think they are a bit easy to miss.

Light green for passable tiles, dark green for impassable. Maybe if there was a way to make them stand out a bit more.
