Coal powder?
« on: September 16, 2011, 11:35:17 pm »
So i'm dropping a landmass to get past the aquifer and i had previously built a wall on that level out of the only material i had coke or charcoal ( i forget which) after dropping the land mass i notice in the wreckage where the wall was a cloud of coal powder expanding in much the same way as a cave in dust cloud. This leads me to ask a vitally important question- Is it flammeable? and if how can i use it to kill people. Oh and there's a "dusting of coal powder" on some nearby walls.

Coal powder is, iirc, just as harmful as any other rock powder, unfortunately.

So, possibly not explosive, but QUITE deadly.

Ah, my dwarven heart beats with fierce pride for this.  I can't take it anymore!  I have to go do something profound.

It can be modded to be poisonous (black lung), but explosions are not in the game yet.  Neither are flammable objects besides things like trees and combustible objects in stockpiles.  I'm not sure if they will ever be, either.

Why? It's still a perfectly viable weapon.

That didn't last long, huh? Shame, cause binary's cool. Anyway, an important message: I will be changing my names on every username based thing I use to ASCIt on/around 10/1. Consolidating, I guess you could say.

it MIGHT be flammable, now that I think about it. The original stone is. Sadly, no explosions.
