[40d & 40d2] Are magma building disabled until you uncover it or is this a bug?
« on: December 27, 2008, 07:14:13 am »
It's been a while since I last played DF, so this might be a bit of a newbish question.

I've had three maps so far that showed a magma pipe or pool on the embark screen, but once in-game no magma buildings are enabled.

(Can't seem to find said pool/pipe either)

Am I just being stupid here?

They'll be enabled once you hit magma, unless you reveal the map with cheats.

Urist, President has immigrated to your fortress!

Cue magma.
Ah, the Magma Carta...

Since I can't fight goblins, elves or humans, I'll just collapse mountains.

they are on the wiki under "utilities"

beware, if you find magma using a cheat, you also need the magma building enabler, because using reveal to find magma will make it so the magma buildings arent enabled.

My solution: use dwarf companion to find magma men/fire men/fire imps. Zoom to them and voíla! magma. Same goes for underground water.

Thank you, I will look into them so that I don't have to spend hours trying to find them.
