110 ain't old for a dwarf. They live till 200. Or did someone change the lifespan for forumites?

By the way, can I have a screenshot as my dwarf please?

Anyone remember the Trialfires magmafall? We need the same thing in Necrothreat.

Ahhh, I do remember that. Good times where BFEL generated a world that melted your skin as soon as your dwarf touched sunlight. We do indeed need something like that. The gods will learn to fear us!

DwArfY, start production of balefire immediately! We'll show those pests, I mean gods, who's the real god.

See, I don't want to do a lot of wheel of time stuff really because it might spoil it for those who haven't read it yet. But I do have an idea about the magma story-wise anyway.

Also Apiks,it appears your forumite was married to Chiad.

I'm on book 3, and I'm at the part with the accepted trials. It's really strange for sure...

Jee wilikers, I think Highmax is near invulnerable, must have been dunked in the river styx like achilles was.
Just make sure he wears a boot.

Mines a mix of Perrin and Mat at the moment. And Lan as well

I've always liked Mat. He gets so much cooler later on.

Here's a poem I wrote on a car journey on a piece of kitchen roll. I was bored, so yeah I'm gonna bore all of you too

Of blood and fear he’s creator,
Of all that’s dark and creeps at night;
Of beasts he is dominator
And enemy of all that’s light

His name, O Armok the Blood god,
Is fear itself, and blight upon
The fool who thinks to control him
Through happiness and joyful song

But hark! Here comes his ancient foe,
In bones and leather he is robed
And all he touches turns to woe
For death is all he’s ever sowed

His names are Fain and Ur the Head
Of death he’s master, dead he calls
To soldier for him as un-dead
And tries to pierce our bloody walls


But twixt them both there stands a force
Of men and workers for the Light
Who never knew that evil’s source
Lay in the gods they saw as right

In Necrothreat they stand against
Minions of both Armok and Fain;
They hold the dead and fiery hands
Of gods away as their hopes wane

*Sighs* Fine, I'll start work on a stack.
Good luck, I will try to finish whatever is left once you complete.

If we go for reactor power, I would encourage having the pumps offset a square every 5 or 10 levels.  So when something does go wrong, the don't ALL deconstruct.
I've never tried pistons, would that give us the volume we need to purge the entire surface?

Final idea once the surface is safe: add some drains that will allow magma to flow from surface back down into the reservoir(s).

Why the drains? If I were pumping then surely the reservoir could just be filled up.

In theory:
- Migrants or caravans would be able to come sooner if magma is not blocking the way
- Faster reload time (less to pump up)
- Anything that doesn't die from magma would be washed down the drain

Well, I doubt I will get to finish it so anything like that will likely be done in your year

Question: how are we going to make the drain?
