Lately my FPS has plummeted to the flour because of the obscene amounts of puppies and other critters in my fort. So I get the idea to magma pitt all of them, well 50 or 60 burnt up puppies cows kittens ect. I think my problem is solved, I go down a z level and notice that two puppies are still alive in the magma. I think that hey they just might be dieing slowly, I check their wounds nothing.    I now think either these two puppies are magma proof, or are standing on the ashes of countless brothers and sisters, among other critters.

Temperature is probably off; check the init. Also, domestic animals all have [SWIMS_INNATE] so unless they're under more than one level of water, I don't think they'll drown at all.

Ed- Hm, just re-read that many animals died first. I'm thinking it's still a temp-is-off thing, and the other animals died of fall damage. The survivors may have simply landed on each other, and it's a known bug/feature that creatures that land on another creature (regardless of fall distance) are perfectly fine.

[Aspgren]

Oh god .. MAGMA didn't work??? 

[gopa4]

It worked on 48 or so of them, they dissapeared into puffs of smoke. But these two are supper puppies or something.

Known bug, not looking up the number though, creatures falling on other creatures when dropped from high places become invulnerable. Magma seems to be where this is noticed. Search Bug Reports for more details.

[gopa4]

Oh, well thanks. I wonder why the other 48 creaters didn't also become invincible.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

Because there can be only ONE! you just need to wait a bit and the remaining puppy's will fight each other till all but one is dead.

[SkyRender]

That's happened to me before too.  It's kind of weird how it happens, but when an animal gets cornered and can't go anywhere, the magma will often sort of "flow under" and not actually affect them.  I'm not sure if it's on the list of bugs, but I've seen it happen at least twice now.

Oh, well thanks. I wonder why the other 48 creaters didn't also become invincible.

2/48 became invincible!

The implications are obvious.

Drop all of your dwarves to their dooms. 4% of them will survive to become superdwarves.

Whoa,
You mean 2/50.

[MacaqueAttack]

All puppies are naturally magma proof. Go ahead, test them out. If any of them didn't survive, they were probably defective, and deserved to burn up.

[NW_Kohaku]

Everyone knows witches don't burn in magma, so if you just dump all your dwarves into the magma to check, then you'll know that the ones who survived are the witches, and should be killed... with magma.

My current fort has over 400 animals, down from 550 (still get 30 odd FPS) and did a magma purge to test.

When I directed the magma into the meeting room, which had about 50+ dorfs, 400 something animals, there were about 2 fouls that survived, sitting on top of the magma.  They aren't stuck falling, just happily sitting on top of 3/7 magma.  They don't have any wounds on them.
