DF Gameplay Questions / Re: 2 quick questions

Some words of warning. If you have trade depot inside, the wagons are not able to go through doors. No matter how wide row of doors you have. Thats why I prefer using drawbridges to seal my entrance.

It would have one other weakness and strength:
It would provide superior defense versus fire attacks (very high melting point), but would require a magma smelter to smelt it.

I can't help reminding you of one thing... What would it help that your armor wouldn't maybe melt down but still warm to about 1100 degrees Celsius? surely that would also be lethal. Since tungsten is metal it conducts heat quite well. The fact that something has high melting point won't make it good heatshield.
