The strange part isn't that it was made of vomit, that's nbd.  But I expected it to fly apart when a dwarf child slapped it (as has been my experience in the past). But when my axelord slashed it with a masterful steel axe, it was only chipped.  And this happened over and over, it took dozens of hits with quality weapons wielded by experts before it collapsed.  I'm used to FBs made of vomit/smoke/butter to be super delicate. Has something been changed in recent versions?

How cold was it? Cause, "chipping" something usually means it is a solid... Not that I'm sure if that can happen.

Wait...you can actually get FBs made of butter? This I gotta see.

A scorching biome, so probably not frozen.

I might have exaggerated on that point. Does butter even exist in DF?

You can confirm it was a forgotten beast and not an angel? Angels are always solid.

It does not, unfortunately. Dwarves prefer to eat lard.

It sounds like it was solidified for whatever reason, and its shear size made it impossible to cut through in one hit.

It was announced as a FB. Do angels ever come visit fortresses?

Only if you build right on top of their homes.

The game considers vomit to be a solid. It's only two states are solid and pressed (as in put through a screw press) solid.

It should be SOLID_POWDER shouldn't it?

Fascinating and disgusting!

It's just ALL_SOLID and SOLID_PRESSED, with a solid density value (1200), specific heat value (4181), and heat damage point (10180).

Vomit or pressed vomit.

And... size matters... there is probably about 60 dwarfs worth of the stuff.

After world-gen, there was a party, and Armok's vomit escaped...

60 dwarfs is probably how it came into existence in the first place.
