That pic for the pan for lava pump stack is a second photo of the water pump stack plan.

Whoops! I fixed it now.

Don't forget, this map only has a magma pool, so there is a finite supply - take care not to use it all up, or there will be much sadness.

Oh, did not know that. There might be a way to devise a system so that magma is only at level 1 throughout the reservoir, so as to use the minimum possible amount.

Level 1 magma will evaporate, it also may cause FPS issues as the pool will no longer be 7/7 and have a flow :/

We might be best off just leaving the pool as is aside from metalworks, unless someone knows a way to duplicate magma.

[bloop_bleep]

What I could actually do is put a 7x smaller reservoir on top of the big one, fill that up with magma, then dump that into the bigger reservoir to spread it out, then immediately afterwards dump that on top of the farm chamber. That way the magma will be at level 1 only momentarily, preventing evaporation and FPS issues.

Since this is an underground river, it will work for making a towercap farm. Wood was a precious commodity in .40d, and safe harvesting underground would be swell.

Is there a clowncar on this site?

Also, I do in fact want to play next.

Yeah, I'm not really sure farming obsidion is really nessisary, its neat for sure, but magma powered industry for metal and glass is better

Someone already set up a magma reservoir for magma furnaces before me, but I don't think we have magma glass forges. Is there sand on the map? I didn't see any myself.

[Xyon]

Yes, I suppose I did.  I don't remember any sand either, but we could trade for sand if we ever wanted to. I dunno, limited resource of magma just makes me not want to waste it.

[bloop_bleep]

Okay, how about the obsidian farm will only be used in the case of a siege (as a trap), at the discretion of the current overseer. I could additionally add an option to only dump magma onto the invaders, so we can recover the magma and use it again and again. It'd stop us from getting the goblinite, but we'd use up less magma than we normally would.

Or would we? The pump only retrieves magma from its source tile, so by the time the level gets to 1/7 throughout the reservoir the pump would stop working. All the magma left (which would be about as much as we'd use if we did the obsidian trap) would evaporate. Hmm, I'll add the option anyway.

Also, the hippies just arrived, and according to the civilization screen we're friends with pretty much everybody, even the goblins and kobolds. Should I invite the !!FUN!! and offer the elves some nice wooden trinkets?

...we could trade for sand if we ever wanted to.

No you can't - sand didn't become a trade good until version 0.31.01, so the only way to get in 40d is to gather it yourself.

[wierd]

IIRC, the "tunnel fungus produces soil tile when grown on muddied rock" issue was present in .40d
I have downloaded the appropriate version, I can test.

[Xyon]

Ah, yeah, well don't let any of that stop you from finishing your turn, its your turn after all, part of the fun is other people dealing with it heh.

[Xyon]

bump? update?

[wierd]

I am waiting for the save to be available. *shrug*
