Will the odd miner falling down a volcano no longer result in revealing adamantine? is this something that's been considered?

What if the fall is witnessed by another?

That's usually how I find that good ol blue shit

[Telgin]

I'm going to guess that the miner sees it before he goes splat and dies, so the other dwarves would telepathically know it's there anyway.

I dunno, things (read: dwarves) actually burn properly now, and will likely die horribly before they make it down far enough...

[Rex_Nex]

It depends on how fast burning occurs. Unless the volcano is LONG, I have a feeling the dwarf will find adamantine before he burns a horrible, fiery death.

Steel goggles are all that is required for the adventurous Dwarf that journeys to the center of the Earth. That way his eyeballs can still catch a glimpse of the HFS while his body vaporizes.

[Teneb]

You might add a steel helm to that so his brain remains intact long enough for them to register it.

[Pokon]

Even better: mod in full bodied " exploration suits" that cover the entire body. Throw them down there. If your lucky, they may live for quite a while.

Unfortunately, I don't think equipment protects you from magma, all you'd get would be an empty suit in the magma.

Its quite impressive that dwarves can actualy see through magma

[Cruxador]

Falling things aren't considered properly, so magma has no effect on the falling miner until he lands. Thus all that stuff is irrelevant for now.

I was pretty surprised when I first learned creatures fell through magma...molten rock is extremely dense, it's pretty hard to push down through unless you really try at it.  Magma is more fluid, but still.

I think someone found out that netherwood armor would allow a dwarf to actually SWIM in magma.

It would if nethercap equipment affects the temperature of the wearer, but I am unsure if does or not.

If it affected the wearers temperature, then shouldn't anyone covered in nethercap freeze to death? It would be like wearing a block of unmeltable ice.

According to wiki nethercap items are destroyed when dumped in magma despite the low fixed temp, so they probably would not protect a dwarf.

Also according to wiki they won't freeze water when dumped into it, which foils my nethercap powered freeze trap idea.
