I think you can use the refiller utility from DF wiki to refill magma pools
It says it will create 7/7 magma tiles if you can route magma into a murky pool
that could help

I can't believe we've got people signed up  almost to the 22nd turn.

of course, someone still needs to take care of the adamantium problem.

Champions do a pretty good job if they don't melt.

It's my awe-inspiring manliness and humility that draws people to me.

Actually, our champions still can't face it.  I tested this (just for lulz), decking out our champions with as much adamantine plate as I could forge, and after half of our army ran off in fear, the other half was destroyed by 6 SoFs (taking down 4 of them) and it took militarization of the entire fortress to bring down the last 2.  During the tantrum spiral that followed, another SoF appeared and pretty much demolished the fortress.  9 dwarves remained: 1 guard, 1 deathbringer, and 7 children.

Also, if Demonic Spoon doesn't want his turn, I'll take it.

Thanks.  I'll also upload Fault's map.

I was thinking about abculatters plan to use the obelisks for dispensing magma. The problem is that the towers are too small for all the pumps. The solution to that would be to have a separate tower to pump the magma to the level of the obelisks, then use pressure to.... MAGMA GEYSIRS!

Don't think of it as being besieged by thralls/husks, think of it as having your own personal moat of life hating mutilated menaces

Ugh, does anyone know why I can't make adamantium wafers even though I obviously have tons of strands?

Also, we have a legendary peasant.  It made me laugh a little.

Hey, does anyone mind if I turn off temperature?  My framerate is suffering a lot.

Gah! I don't check the thread every second of the day and someone steals my turn(that hasn't even started yet)!

That's because I mixed you up with abaclutter.  I'm taking his turn because he's taking a break from DF.

Also, the game's not letting me make any silk garments without first dying the cloth.  I have a feeling my raw files may be messed up.

Oh no, I just wanted to play something that didn't average 16 frames per second.

Ah, fair enough then.  I agree about the horrid framerate.  I think I'm going to have to play this on my tower to get enough power to finish on time.

Maybe we should set a dwarf limit on the next Sparkgear?  Something around 80 would be great.
