I'm going to point out something obvious but oft-forgotten.

When embarking in a haunted biome with a magma pipe, remember that undead fire imps and magma men CAN destroy grates.

Everyone sucks at everything. Until they don't. Not sucking is a product of time invested.

That's why you should always use fortifications?

what about vertical bars?  That's what I've always been using?

Just for the record: making a magma channel only accesible via the tiles the workshops need to function and then putting the workshops there keeps EVERYTHING out, right? Hostile creatures only destroy buildings on the same z level, right?

Well then, this might make my smelting operations a little sportier...

Ahh, undead fire imps are only marginally less wimpy than normal fire imps. And magma men still can't swim, last I checked, so they're a non-threat. Fire men can be quite dangerous though.

You don't make EXTREME MAGMA FORGES made in the UNDEAD BOWELS OF THE EARTH.

 Also, I generally try to make my forges look like an artificial cave with a magma pool that the forges are built around.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

I always try to build my magma workshops with an impassable tile over the magma hole.  I don't know that this actually keeps the imps out, but it makes me FEEL safe, and that's what really matters.  On that topic, funny story:  Got a message, "Sneezy cancels forge steel war hammer, interrupted by fire imp," so I hit the space bar and head over there to set a military waypoint, and the imp's got a blue background, flying through the air into the metal bar stockpile.  Apparently Sneezy was so startled by the imp popping up that he clobbered it into next week.  It died on impact and was carted away and converted into chipotle steaks.

This was what I was expecting.

Undead. Magma. Creatures.

WHAT THE FUCK?!?

The *large serrated steel disk* strikes the Raven in the head, tearing apart the muscle, shattering the skull, and tearing apart the brain!
A tendon in the skull has been torn!
The Raven has been knocked unconcious!

Elves do it in trees. Humans do it in wooden structures. Dwarves? Dwarves do it underground. With magma.

Personally I always use Fortifications to filter magma taken from the pipe.
I would love a nice Haunted obsidian rich area with a magma pipe...
BTW is it normal or am I the only one who gets skelly carp/sturgeon flying in the air outside the stream in a Hot haunted map?
