[MOVED] Meteor?
« on: August 19, 2015, 07:54:52 pm »

I am playing masterworks with gnomes and from nothing some guys start to die. When I came to the surface I saw a ball of lava. There is no volcano on this map, I only have magma on the magma sea.

I didn't find nothing at announcements. Now expect that my gnomes survive the tantrum when the ashes go down;

Someone already seen something like this? It is a bug? Feature?

Usually Masterwork questions should go in the Masterwork sub-forum.  That out of the way, I haven't played around with the newer versions of MW, but there are several things that can be used to 'create' molten rock (via advanced DFHack functions) so there is a strong possibility that one of those actions occurred, or that it had some form of error.

Edit: On review of your image, you have a combat report waiting, do you have hunters out on the map?  One of the Masterwork modders may have added a roaming entity that spawns magma on death, they do things like that.

Thanks NullForceOmega, topic moved.

Yeah, I think that should be related with masterworks. I post it more about the fun that investigate.

But if someone is interested It is MDF v6.2.

No hunters.

I saw some firebirds and thieves around the area when it happens. I will try to take a second look on reports later.

I have not personally written the gnomes, but magma is unusual. There are no magma-spawning animals in the game. I guess if you build a drill and bored into a magma lake you would have noticed.

How can you see that there's combat reports just from the main screen?

Its a feature. Impregnating booze is a planned tech tree for dwarves and this is a sneak peek at it.
