Mob pathing over lava
« on: January 26, 2012, 01:08:34 pm »

Quick question: will a 1/7 puddle of magma prevent pathing by goblins and such? I have some defense plans in mind, including some magma traps. Unfortunately if 1/7 magma does prevent pathing, I will need to include alternate paths 'o doom for visiting goblins.

Creatures which are not immune to magma's heat will not willingly pass through magma. You could make your trap such that magma doesn't pool in the trap's kill zone, but that basically requires a path that's no wider than 2 tiles (though a third could simply be covered by a raised drawbridge when you're expecting unwelcome guests).
