Does anyone know if a 7/7 block of magma falling onto 1/7 standing water will create a block of obsidian, the way the reverse does (dropping a single unit of water onto standing magma)?

I'm revisiting my obsidian tower idea and I think I might be able to fully automate it's construction XD

I've seen pools of mixed 2/7 and 1/7 magma move over evaporating ponds of 1/7 without turning into obsidian. This was somewhat surprising to me, so I remember it well. However, it might be different for falling 7/7 magma. In short, I can't be sure, but I suspect pouring 7/7 magma on 1/7 water will probably be problematic.

And you absolutely must put videos of an automated obsidian creator on the archive.

You would be better off dumping your magma in from above because then you don't need to rebuild your pumping operation for every level that you want to make.

I vaguely recall reading that to create obsidian, you need at least 2/7 of both.  Granted, I can't remember where I read this, so take that with a grain of Rock Salt.
