Not sure if this is with anything else, but Apparently if a piece of metal melts due to say... magma, any liquids will cause it to be shown as Molten <Metal> laced with <Liquid>.
anyone else noticed this?

[forsaken1111]

So say I throw a lead booze barrel into magma, it will melt and say "Molten lead laced with booze"?

Can I then allow it to cool and have booze-laced lead hammers to practice with?

[Skorpion]

Actually, you'd get an explosion, I think.

[Dakk]

Am i the only one thinking about artifact adamantine weapons laced with blood?
Too bad its impossible, since adamantine or any decent metal won't melt on magma

You could mod the melting point of Adamatine, submerge it in magma so it melts, than after you drain the magma, return it's melting point to where it was before.

[Derakon]

There's the secondary issue that any metal that's melted through contact with magma is unusable except as a way to keep your dwarves with cleaning duty busy...

Nice touch, though.

Maybe later on in the development of the game, we'll get surface Lava, at a lower heat than Magma currently is (but still useful enough for a lot of things), and some kind of deep Magma, that's hotter than the current stuff--hot enough to melt adamantite?

That won't fit with the fiction.

Demons are supposed to be imprisoned in the stuff because it's the only thing that can reliably keep them in. They've got portals to underworld, that's the deepest magma there is.

I'm not seeing why that wouldn't fit different magma/lava temperatures?

[Derakon]

If you had magma hot enough to melt adamantine, then the REDACTED wouldn't be where they are.

[Kanil]

Adamantine melts at 15,000F/8,333C.

I don't think magma gets that hot?

[SirHoneyBadger]

The REDACTED could be trapped in the regular magma, while the deep stuff could be a lot hotter.

Maybe you'd have to get magma from like the Elemental Plane of Fire, to be hot enough?

The EPF's been mentioned before, by Toady, so atleast we know he's thought about it.

[Katsuun]

Elemental Plane of Fire?? This is not DnD... wait is it?

Besides, demons coem from the Abyssal Plains or soemthing like that, not the Elemental Plane of Fire...

[SirHoneyBadger]

Well, considering that the 4 elements date back to the early Greek philosophers, I would suggest not?

Although it's definitely a trope that D&D has welded themselves on to with the passion of the newly converted. 

[Musluk]

The Demiplanes, on the other hand, are much, much more fun.

Besides, the run-off-the-mill DnD has 6 elemental planes, positive and negative. Mixing the elemental planes apparently give you ooze and a lot of other different demiplanes. The demons in DnD hail from the lower plane sets, btw.

Also, pressure in the core > pressure near the crust. The dwarven worlds could have molten adamantine cores. Till Toady gives us tensile strength and other material relationships, we'll assume Addy has an unbelievably high modulus. I wonder if it'll conduct 'lectricity well.
