With temperature off. I pumped magma 100 z levels with wood. Nothing FUN ever happened. It all worked.

I'm just lending my support.

The body part DOES get grasped, you can strangle creatures to death with a sword if you choose to in the wtrestle menu.

Athough your right, if I tried it strangle somone with a sword Im pretty sure I would just end up tearing the throat.

menacing spikes of pig tail.

As plants clearly attract most attention it sounds like a good idea to start thinking up some plants that might do well in certain tempretures ranges.

It is quite likely that a lot of plants will have to be traded. And it might be better if we get rid of the seasons thing and replace it by tempreture only (you can still select what plant grows when). This would mean that if I want to grow pig tail all year round I can do that.

Now some plants:
Magma root: A plant that need extreme heat produces a very high quility food.
Snowbery: A plant that only grow in very cold areas producies snowberies a medium quility food and usable for white dye.
Cave grass:Plant that grows in almost all conditions. Can be milled to make a very low quility food and can be used for low quility fibers.
Bat leaf: A black leafed plant that does best in medium tempreture caves, used to make black dye.
Caveman wheat: A wheat that grows in slightly high tempreture caves, Can be milled to make a high quility and high amout of food.
Heatbite: A rare plant which produces a small amout of heat lives in very high tempreture areas, Can be made into poison when it's implented.
Lead berries: Plant that grows in low tempreture areas can be used to make dye.

You should think about what alcohols those make aswell. Like evercold wine or something for snowbery. Which would be nearly as good as sunshine, cause everybody likes their alcohol cold. And something equally as valuable for magma root because it would take a bit of work to get so the value should reflect that effort. Though maybe it would make dwarfs more happy to eat it then to drink it, cause of its properties.

The should not get a bad through from seeing unhappy dwarfs. I can just imagine. Dwarfs doesnt sleep in his bed because he's bugged gets unhappy cause he "doesnt have a room". He walks into the dinning hall and gets the whole fort unhappy, tantrum spiral kills them all. Or something like slightly happy dwarf has to join the army gets sad, picks up with axe walks to the barracks gets the whole military upset. You just lost a fort.

Is magma hot enough to ignite thermite?

Probably. I still see no use for thermite. All it would do was kill your own dwarfs. Which while people want it. I have no clue what you'd do with it. Hell I can make it, but I never have cause theres nothing to do with it.

I cant be certain. But I assumed you just assigned as man as you can spar under the military menu. I had i think 7-8 and he didn't have a problem, on my fort of 80. I dont know much more. I had a lot of fun, accidental realizing I pierced a my lava forge from below, and flooded the bottom half of my fort with lava, and while making my prison for him.
