Firesnakes! What do?
« on: October 02, 2014, 12:12:20 am »
So I dug out a tomb area deep near SMR.  See firesnakes.  Move tomb up several levels where i see no snakes.  Build tomb and jail.  Then firesnake shows up wandering between some prison chains and a green glass magmapump.  But they can melt glass.

While adding magma to anything will make it dwarfy, adding the word "magma" to your post does not necessarily make it funny.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

They are vermin so they are giong to pop up randomly. Just have a lot of cats and slaughter them if it lags too much.

You need to find the most exotic animal pet you can, and then breed a war party of them. Have a beastmaster as your only guardian, wrapped in adamantium with a platinum war hammer that is backed by savage giant beasts from around the world.

And what will they do to the invaders? Melt their clothes?
