Magma Clear Away?
« on: September 20, 2010, 07:42:56 pm »

If magma goes down the hill, then will the magma will ever "Evaporate"? Or will i have to create a exit?

if it's thin enough and the pressure is low then yes.

Magma will evaporate if there is a 1/7 square.

Y'know, the first time I saw that picture, I misread it and I thought the elves at the bottom were "Elvis".  And then I pictured DF Elvis, with his cave spider silk outfit encrusted with green glass gems and suede shoes dyed in blue dimple dye.  Hauling a rock instrument made at the craftsdwarf workshop.  I could even picture him doing his hip swinging using the trade depot as his stage.  It made me laugh.

You will want to provide drainage or the means to pump the magma out of that hole...  Even if you plan on only releasing enough magma to wash over the area so it can spread out and evaporate, it is a good idea... Unless you plan on moving your trade depot constantly.
