What happens to buildings cast in obsidian?
« on: May 22, 2014, 03:47:34 pm »

Sorry if this has been discussed before - I tried a search but obsidian is such a constant topic of discussion that the results weren't very helpful.

I know that if I put a magmaproof item in an obsidian casting zone, I could dig it out of the obsidian; but if I were to, build a (magmaproof) Upright Spike Trap at the bottom of a pit, and then cast obsidian in the square of the trap, what would happen? Would the building deconstruct and the spikes be encased in obsidian? Or would the building remain intact, and digging out the obsidian block would uncover it, good as new?

Also someone used this to glue workshops to the sky in flying fortress. But I fail to find the thread right now.
Ah, here it is.
