lava forges
« on: November 20, 2011, 01:41:27 pm »
alright after many failed fortess i have finnaly found lava :D however its in a cavern with alot of enemies, mainly a bronze statue and some lava beasties, and i was wondering can i use the same technique i use with my well with lava and just seal of part of the cavern with walls? where i channel into an area and have a grate followed by a floodgate to seal the chamber when i have enough. the reason i don't use the Pump stacks Magma pistons techniques from the wiki is i don't have enough resources due to lack of lava safe items

Having a sudden increase of additional units in the area can take your FPS down like a paraplegic on an ice covered hill.

you could channel the liquified molten rock down a level once you are more or less clear of enemies, after that, set up the flood gate/s and the walls, build floors on your new lava pit, and deconstruct the parts that are going to be used for forges and killing pits, dont forget putting a door and a roof in that area so no flying beasts get in, and if you are worried. dont use fortifications, for the love of everything, dont do it (unless you have some drunktards assigned to arrow things).

Try embarking on a volcano and using the [k] cursor to examine it, and you will observe that above-ground magma is called "Lava" and even the surface of the semi-molten rock is called "Lava Flow".

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.
