Say I want to make a grilling floor for goblin invaders; Will heat from magma down a z level heat up metal floor grates to burn things?

It will not warm up the floors IIRC, it will however warm up water so if you can get like 1-2/7 water in there you can cook them I believe

New question! If I were to remove elves [INTELLIGENT] tag in the raws, would it work?

Wait, what was the bug, heat transferring between bodies?

Consider 1/7 magma for your chamber instead.

No, the bug was ambient heat from nearby magma being hot enough to melt fat off of living creatures (but only if the creature was wet).

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
