The [LAVA] tag should be able to be used on multiple rocks. The effect would be that lava+water produces a random rock that has [LAVA]. The wall around volcanoes would be specified by a new tag, [VOLCANO_WALL]

[Coidzure Dreams]

I think this has been mentioned as an eventual plan.  Not sure about the idea behind the volcano wall tag, though.  On the one hand, if magma can make any kind of igneous rock, then it makes sense to have the magma initially be surrounded by any appropriate rock.  On the other hand, if dorfs suddenly lost the ability to stop when they detected warm stone or lost the ability to detect warm stone and one could no longer see the magma until it was struck, then it'd make a bit of sense to keep the immediate borders always obsidian.

Or are you talking about some kind of effects of volcanism on world-gen/map creation thing with the [volcano_wall] tag?

I'm sort of wondering now if it'll ever get the complexity to make a different stone based on how quickly it's cooled, with a fast cooling making obsidian and a slow cooling making something more like granite or basalt.

What'd be even interesting to me is when/if volcanic eruptions make it in and then if a Krakatoa can happen during World-Gen...

Hmm... after eruptions, they should add volcanic eruptions triggered by goblin sacrifices

Ahah! The final and most nefarious purpose behind their baby-snatching ways!

I suppose I should have been clearer:  I meant when we sacrifice goblins.

Silly, we dwarfs don't need goblin sacrifices when URIST MCKRAKATOA, PUMP-OPERATOR OF DWARFDOM is on our side.

Currently, the first inorganic stone with [LAVA] is used as both the wall around volcanoes, and the product of magma+water. It only matters during worldgen, and is ignored after that (so it does nothing to change it on an existing save)
