even though i know in my brain that underground, it is called magma, for some reason, when you throw the word "pipe" after it, lava just feeeeeeels better to say.

a magma pipe is the name of those little volcano things in caverns

http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/DF2010:Magma

if you go on the wiki it says that magma pools arn't the proper name.

a miner dug down 14 z levels and hit a lava pipe (magma pool is the old name.)

the 1st cavern level has a magma pool and were level 3 would be there is only lava sea.

if i dig deeper will demons come out and burn my ass

In my experience, fifteen or more vertical levels will have a one-hundred percent kill rate. And generally explosive removal of limbs.

DAMN, that is fucking cruel. that is just messed up!!!. THAT IS SO FUCKING DWARFY!!! that in just harsh

thats so fucking harsh its awesome cruel.

thumbs up

I believe the stock(p)ile menu allows you to press 'x' and then it will remove stockpiles in the chosen area instead of placing them.

thanks man i wuld have never noticed that 

does length fallen increes death potential.

i got a huge half map long dwarven drop zone. mr goblin fell 7 level and 1/2 did not die of the fall(well some died of there wonds 3 days later)
but i want to know if i make it 10 levels will it kill 100%

unless you change the raws, yes they will die
unless you change the raws you can only get tame elephant from a trader

were in the raws do i do that?
and no they can be tame i know this as a fact

i also want to do this for koblods and rihnos

Density is determined by more than atomic weight.  The atom-to-atom spacing also matters.  Iridium and Osmium both have higher bulk densities than Bismuth (about 22.6 g/cc for Iridium, 22.5 g/cc for Osmium, versus 9.80 g/cc for Bismuth) because their atoms are more tightly packed.

but im saying given enough presure (just below that required to cause fusion) you could get the atoms them selfs to move closer and thus causing increesed density.

That's really completely irrelevant.  At standard pressure and temperature, there are many elements more dense than bismuth.  You could compress bismuth to be more dense than osmium is at standard pressure, but if you compressed osmium with the same pressure, it would be denser than bismuth.  And the moment you released the pressure, they'd both go back to their normal density.

and i never said that bismith was the most dense i said it was the heaviest.

Actually, you said that a 1cmx1cmx1cm cube of bismuth would be heavier than one of silver or any other element, which is incorrect.  You then went back and edited your post to mention atom count after it was pointed out that you were wrong.  Of course, a 1cmx1cmx1cm cube of bismuth will contain far fewer atoms than a 1cmx1cmx1cm cube of silver, which is why silver has a higher density than bismuth despite bismuth having a higher atomic mass.

i siad 1x1x1 cube made of the same number of atoms.

Not in your original post, you didn't.  You went back and edited it once your error was pointed out.  And it's a moot point since under equivalent circumstances a same size cube won't have the same number of atoms, and under the same circumstances other elements will always be more dense than bismuth.  It's also irrelevant to the discussion anyway.  Bismuth, lead, and silver can all be smelted by dwarves, unlike iridium or osmium.  And silver and lead, at normal pressures and temperatures, will always be more dense than bismuth.

And what does a bose-einstein condensate have to do with it?  Were you planning to make the bismuth into a diffuse gas and then cool it to just above absolute zero?  It won't form a bose-einstein condensate anyway, since bismuth atoms have an odd number of fermions, and therefore isn't a boson and can't form a bose-einstein condensate.

1st of. im about 11 1/2 quarters into ICP and i watch discovery sometimes. i have a veary thin cover all knowlaedge about every thing. i assume knowledge based of facts. and i have not looked into BEC to much ok. and ya im saying that bismith is heavier. AND IT FUCKING IS. but im wrong on desity and yes i am wrong and bismith would not be heavy. but could one make an alloy of using bismith that could be denser that pure iridium?
