spontaneous combustion
« on: September 15, 2018, 12:59:00 pm »

I have tried modding dwarfs to be immune to the effects of heat, fire, magma etc., so as to make building my death trap atrium easier. Somehow this has resulted in dwarfs undergoing spontaneous combustion and dying after burning for a while. I have not touched the code already present, merely adding new tokens. I set all materials to heat dam point none, melting and boiling points very high, ignite point slightly lower (still higher than dragonfire), and blood to a very low melting point, in case they would heat up until blood was a fluid. I have no idea how to fix this any more

Did you remember to set the melting points for sweat, pus, and saliva to be liquid at room temperature too? Otherwise the first time they exert themselves they would sweat super heated liquid.

do you use select_material:sweat, pus and saliva or are there different specific terms? I am reluctant to do further testing until I have a better idea what I am doing

Replace whatever you've done to their blood with this and it should be fine:
Code: [Select]
[SELECT_MATERIAL:BLOOD]
[PLUS_MATERIAL:PUS]
[PLUS_MATERIAL:SWEAT]
[PLUS_MATERIAL:SPIT]
[MELTING_POINT:10000]

this time around they worked fine until they produced sudden clouds of smoke and fled the tunnels, never to return. This is getting weird

How much high did you set the melting and boiling point? If you set those higher than 60000, then that may be your problem.

only a few above 50000. 50004 for ignite, 5 for melting and 6 for boiling

Oh right, I forgot about tears. Add [PLUS_MATERIAL:TEARS] in and see if that fixes it.
