I decided to do an expedition to see what I have under fortress. The answer: two big caves (probably with giant cave spiders judging from webs) and something like magma pipe or something at around -85 levels bellow, I cant pinpoint it as it goes up for at least 7 levels. I think that for now I will settle on wood coal and cooper for weapons and armor. Cooper is the only thing I know it can be used to produce weapons. I didnt find iron, but I will dig some more and maybe I will get lucky. If all fails I will make freaking gold weapons and armor as I pund that there arequite a few vains deep under my fortress .

thog like new mayor. thog new mayor.

I just tested 15 v 15, bronze whips vs. bronze scourges.

Full adamantine armor: 1 whip dwarf was slain, two were knocked unconscious. Total slaughter.

Without armor: scourges won, three survivors, one of whom has had just about all his limbs broken.

Right now when you make a rock short sword it comes out made of wood, with all the properties of wood, thus making it useless.  This bug is being addressed and should be fixed in the next release.

(Magma does indeed pressure, it simply cannot pressure UP z-levels like water can.)

This isn't true. Drop magma and water (don't pump them) into L-bends.
With water, all the water in the upright part will pressure-pathfind through the water in the corner into the bottom.
With magma, magma in the upright part will only be able to get into the bottom by falling straight down into the corner when magma in the corner flows out into the bottom and leaves the corner at less than 7/7.

No.
Anyway, Isn't there a layer of SMR at the bottom of the magma sea? Maybe that could hold a room in it.
