On the plus side, the elves will be really annoyed about the effect it's having on the atmosphere.

They're too busy drowning in their local atmosphere to care.

Would be cool if something like that could be implemented in DF. Well, cool in a sick, 'Oh my god my fortress just collapsed into burning toxic fumes' kinda way.

I wonder how far from that we are? We'll have air based poisons in the next version. Could stone be modded to give off a poison when burned? That'd be seriously cool for traps.

Easy way to extinguish the flames: reroute the water for your elf drowning chamber, and pressurize it, then eject into the burning level. Then build a series of pumps to drain it. Problem solved-maybe.

From Mr. Welch's 1350 things he is not allowed to do in a RPG:
148. There is no Gnomish Deathgrip, and even if there was, it wouldn't involve tongs.
171. My character's dying words are not allowed to be "Hastur, Hastur, Hastur"
218. No matter my alignment, organizing halfling pit fights is a violation.
231. I am not allowed to do anything that would make a Sith Lord cry.
240. Any character with more than three skills specializing in chainsaw is vetoed.

I have no idea if that would work or not, but it would require some rather... odd... redigging, since i can't route water via the surface as it has this annoying habit of freezing solid.

Already there. Magma steam (when water hits magma or vice versa) is deadly.

Is complete, so yep, it'll be in next update.  It'll probably be as hard as hell to make though.  And will doubtless lose you a few legendary miners during its transport.

I thought that was only with the 2D version? I thought steam was safe nowadays.

Don't mean to rain on your parade or anything, but...

Shouldn't miasma be toxic-of-sorts anyway? Since miasma is based on the medieval-ish belief that diseases were spread through smells.
Shouldn't this mean that miasma should cause diseases, or at least a low-level posion of some sort, anyway? Rather than just unhappy thoughts?

Something for Toady to think about at least :)

Hmmm - I read it was lethal, and I've never volunteered a dwarf to disprove common wisdom. Could be old info.

Definitely deadly in Boatmurdered's time, but not now.  I HAVE volunteered dwarves for it.
