Magma-Chasm
« on: August 03, 2008, 08:09:45 pm »

Ok. I loaded up a new world and started a fortress. But then when the fortress started I noticed that floating over the nearby bottom-less pit, there was about 4 z-levels of magma, the size of a magma pipe. Now, this magma then immediately fell into the pit, causing all creatures inside to be barbecued. The excess magma also proceeded to flow down the mountainside towards the river, torching everything in its way.

P.S. I have noticed that for some reason adult trees do not catch on fire even when surrounded by magma.

According to the recent development logs, this has been fixed. You should try again, but this time get a movie. Might be fun to watch everything getting toasted. ;D

This is a really old bug. IIRC, it's because trees act like walls and since this blocks the magma from entering the tile the trees never get hot enough to start on fire.
