So I usually dump captured animals and goblins I don't want into the magma sea. On my current fort, though, my dump spot happened to be above a pillar of cotton candy. Most of the creatures and objects I tossed in still disintegrated... but I've had a plump helmet man sitting in the lava for more than an in-game week now. He's on fire and burned, but doesn't otherwise troubled.

Is it because he doesn't have blood?

[Angel-of-Dusk]

Plump Helmet Man Roast. That is all

[ThrowerOfStones]

Now there's two of them there, burning together in harmony.

Get them back into your fort somehow.  Metal cages and disposable haulers for said cages.  Make them guards at your front gate.

If it weren't for the second one, I would wonder if they had landed on other creatures to prevent their immediate disintigration; I had a thread quoted in my sigg about a player who was trying to figure out how to utilize an apparently invincible puppy "created" the same way.

If you can find a way to pull them out of the magma, try to set them up in a little "cannon" just outside your entrance.  Release them when the elves show up...

I've experienced this with my modded fungusmen; they burn easily and indefinitely, with very few ill effects. It's actually quite dangerous to your fort if they aren't locked away. Just beware any streaks of smoke fleeing from fire-wielding enemies and your magma traps.

Not exactly sure what causes it, but you can put them out with enough water.

Awesome.

[Urist Da Vinci]

Did some raw digging, and their mushroom flesh doesn't have a melting or boiling point. It does have ignite and heatdam points, so they will burn, as observed. They don't have any organs. They can also live for 60-80 years, so they'll be down there a long time unless they burn up completely. They can learn and open doors, its kind of creepy that dwarves would eat them.

[Girlinhat]

Wait, doors are the sign of being creepy to eat?

[MarcAFK]

I must mod Plump helmet and bacon men and set them on fire for the aromatic and culinary enjoyment of my dorfs

[Uristocrat]

Wait, doors are the sign of being creepy to eat?

I thought it was their ability to learn, but we're talking about a giant, walking fungus.

That's pretty creepy right there.  Ever see Footkerchief's avatar?  Yeah, you don't want to mess with the Juffo-whip.

So, what I can gather from this is... I can mod in a creature using similar figures to the PHM that will burn for a very long time, and give it a ignition point lower then it's body temperature, therefor it instantly catch on fire and forever bun.


AWWWWWWWWWWW HELL YEA!!!!

[MarcAFK]

Mod it to lay eggs....

[Max White]

  I <3 U guys...

[uristmcdorf]
