Scared to death and ice.
« on: November 06, 2011, 05:32:21 am »
I had a little problem with water and the result was a 2/7 starway, no problem until this:
I received a message saying that a dog has been scared to death by a ghostly swordmaster (Uuuuuh powerfull spirit!), I zoom in and i find this scene
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
, I'm on a scorching biome, can ghost lower a tile temperature?



Edit: one suturer was caught on the ice and look at the ghost name: Ingish AgeGorge the Single Sad Universe. :'( :'(
Edit 2: the temp around the ghost is 9986U  and 2 tiles away is 10015U.
Edit 3: On the ghost tile the temperature is 9936U.

Interesting.

The wiki doesn't say anything about temperature changes. Clearly more science is needed!

This fort seems to be plagued by strange ghosts, every season a ghost potash maker toples a rock salt talbe on my masons quarters, but the table is intact. ???

Why not just engrave him a memorial slab or bury the corpse?

 It sounds almost as though Toady made it so that ghosts must absorb heat to do anything; a bit of energy conservation sense. As I currently lack them, can anyone check some of their ghosts to see if they lower temperture? What about right after they make a scene?

Imagine a cool peice of sky-blue and milk-white marble about 3cm by 2cm and by 0.5cm, containing a tiny 2mm malacolite crystal. Now imagine the miles of metamorphic rock it's embedded in that no pick or chisel will ever touch. Then, imagine that those miles will melt back into their mantle long before any telescope even refracts an image of their planet. The watchers will be so excited to have that image too.

Ingish is a sadistic ghost, just for the records.

Freaky.

Does the temperature in the affected tiles go back up again when the ghost moves away?

Messing around with magma for the first time.  Still haven't produced a !!dorf!!, but I've discovered the wonders of not having to worry about fuel, i.e. SMELT EVERYTHING IN SIGHT.  HEY URIST, BRING ME THAT KITTEN, LET'S SEE IF WE CAN SMELT THAT TOO.
