warm stone located.

There's gotta be a way to turn this off. Suggestions?

Edit:

This was found in the data files, but I'm not sure how to modify it it the right way.

I think that you can toggle the pausing and taking you to the spot, even the little red message showing up, but I don't think it will actually stop them from canceling physical digging.

We need two digging options, one where they dig what we tell no matter what. I am well aware already that the damn lake is right above you and I know damn well not to pierce the roof.

Then the other dig option could be what we have now.

Well, I've found this in the announcements.txt

But I dont know what to do with it. I'm sure someone does though.

There is some way to modify the raws or something (modder talk, you'd have to ask them) to turn it off but the problem that can come up is they turn it off completely meaning you may accidentally dig into warm/wet environments and be unhappy.

I do agree that what I'd love to see is a toggle option to turn off/on the sensor for above you, its a huge pain to have to make a room one step at a time because there is water/magma above your dwarves.  I suppose I should be happy they stopped the 'pause-zoom to location' trigger every time they find some random pointless, meaningless stone.. But I'd love to go the rest of the way and change this one.

Interestingly, it doesn't tell you about aquifers unless you are actually digging into them (thank god), it would be nice to set whatever that trigger is to include any body of water/magma, cause really the odds of accidentally digging 'up' into something is minute.

It would be something I'd turn off after I found the Magma sea in the world Im in, so I know the general area I shouldn't dig without my undivided attention. Otherwise, all this candy's a big ol' tease.

There was an utility called "justdigitout" somewhere for both 40d and 31.x. Perhaps it is a part of DFhack.

Ah, thanks much. Google'd and found it. For anyone else who's interested:

Scratch that, it's not compatible with the current version.

dont you get a similar warning with damp stone? you can dig in it later if you wish anyway. I dont consider this a problem as i undesignate known damp/ hot patches soon after anyway

Yes you can redesignate them, but it's extremely annoying when you're mining for ores and you have to redesignate after every block.
