I've been trying to build the perfect steam death chamber. I've so far simply made this.
Upper Z level

Code: [Select]

--------------
X Magma Tunnel
--------------Lower Z Level

Code: [Select]

-------------------
water               Bars/!!
----------------I postioned the upper z level so the magma pours directly in front of the bars, therefore scalding the goblin I release from the cage, once I pull the lever. The problem is, I have to keep tunneling it out once it forms obsidian. Anyone want to pitch a better design?

The only problem I see is that steam hasn't been deadly since the 2D versions. It's unfortunate as I had similar ideas.

The closest you can get to deadly steam is magma mist. Magma mist is caused when natural terrain caves into lava / magma.

steam execution chamber? is that how you call "sauna"? we have plenty of those in Finland and there havent many died in there because of steam

[zakkeh]

Put a retractable bridge above lava and just drop prisoners in and praise the local deity with sacrifices

I believe you can also get Magma Mist from Magmafalls, which is why trying to make your dorfs happy with one in the dining room isn't necessarily a brilliant idea, unless you've managed to limit it to "Nobles only".

I'm pretty sure you can't JAFANZ as I tried that too and was sorely disappointed.

I remember an old design where people made chambers that could be flooded, and had there floors heated with magma. Superheated the water and cooked the goblins or something like that...

[Vattic]

Vorthon that was due to a bug fixed since release 0.31.05. If I remember correctly creatures with water on them would melt if they were on a warm enough tile. In some maps rain and the ambient temperature was enough.

[Vorthon]

I remember that bug. I know it  was fixed, I just thought it had only been fixed for rain.
