:O

I can see it now... obsidian farms and lava moats as far as the eye can see...

I can imagine it now.

Hawaii first innovative U.S. state to use magma moats to guard against terrorists, communists, and the chinese.

[Arkose]

They accidentally the whole magma chamber. Is this bad?

Isn't that redundant?

Drillers accidentally hit a pocket of molten rock underneath a working geothermal energy field in Hawaii

Under a geothermal energy field?  No freaking DUH they hit a pocket of magma. That's why the ground is good for geothermal energy plants.

Some people doesn't know the world they are living in (or pretend not to know).

Well, the Chinese are more technically capitalist communists, with a bit of terrorism on the side.  Then you have Cuba (communism)
and every other country in the world that doesn't give the U.S. cheap oil, I mean terrorists.

Also, we, the experienced magma users, should help these scientists by providing them with detailed plans on how to properly utilize this hot, red, molten gold.  Also, we should start the 'mail the kittens' donations fund.

So howcome magma is such a common thing in DF, if we're only just finding it now?

It's only common in DF because volcanoes aren't deadly unless you fall in and Dwarves have a sixth sense for underground features.

But not against Japanese aircraft.

Heh I was just checking here to see if someone had made a topic about it already =)

In real life you never have an open air magma vent, it's always beneath the earth.  I can't imagine our dwarves going down 2.5km, that sounds pretty deep to me!

Well, it's better than when giant cave spider accidentally the entire world.

[Warlord255]

A prime use for magma:

PAVE THE WHALES.

Also, the game.

[Danarca]

They should channel the magma out in the ocean and make an obsidian highway to the US.
They can smooth it and engrave cheese on the stuff aswell!
