Not if you gave the sea critters [NOBREATH]

[Flaede]

If you pick the right "bay" map, with a shallow "sandbar" entrance, then draining the ocean doesn't require as many pumps as you'd think. Especially if you are routing it into an aquifer. After floodgates are installed, you don't even need pumps to keep it dry.

And "magma" is so a tactic: Magma->Obsidian pillars works, though it is lag-inducing while they're being built.

I hadn't thought of the Bin-'o-fire trick, though.

This require bauxite

Not necessarily; it depends on whether you use magma or a fiery creature.

Not necessarily; you could pump the magma higher than needed and leave the unlit bin on a construction the magma would fall onto then remove the last wall that was holding the whole thing up.

Use a support (as in the building) made of non-magma-safe stuff that the magma will flow over after igniting the lignite. Then it's just start the magma pumps and wait.

As in have the support act as the only link? Do supports even work in the up direction?

[SolarShado]

Yup, that's the idea. I think you have to build a construction directly over the support, then whatever else connected to that. I think i read that somewhere, never tried it myself.

If the bin platform is on top of the support the magma hitting the bin is going to need some redirection to get it onto the support.

[SolarShado]

quite true. but the idea is to make the thing more dwarven, not necessarily easier to make or use.

[Peewee]

Thanks for the ideas.
tough I dont think "magma." counts as a idea.

well duh! its a way off life.

Heh. I found this particular typo hilarious.
Magma is indeed a way of getting off life.
