I only use magma but I still pillage the land!

How else are you meant to make woodcrafts to try to sell to elves?

What's the point of using everyday fuel sources when we already pervert the laws of thermodynamics to make magma our pumpstacked bitch? Seems like a step backwards if you ask me.

Steal woodcrafts from elves to try to sell to elves?

I guarantee that as soon as steam or burning booze creates considerably pressure, it will be about five minutes after the announcement that someone has a magma-and-sewer-brew based turbine.

Which happens about two minutes after someone creates a pressure-based noble-and-prisoner-execution chamber.

We have that. It's called a bridge.

Pressure is pressure, right?

Alright, a steam pressure-based one.

Pressure plate + bridge = a noble being elevated far above their station, followed by being brought back down to earth by common sense. And gravity.

I am offended at the implication that a true dorf would ever clearcut a forest for material gain.  That he would destroy the fortress just to make some meagre amounts of glass.

A true dorf clearcuts to make the flooding and magma sprayers more predictable on the surface.

A true dorf clear cuts to make room for his solid Obsidian Magma spewing trees. with magma pouring out the tips of the fronds.

And one minute after that, they'll invent the dwarven reactor meltdown...

Socks inspire the same sort of emotions in dwarfs that Helen of Troy inspired in the Achaean Greeks. Although it is said that Helen's face launched a thousand ships, socks have surely launched a million ultimately-fatal Store Owned Item tasks.

No. A true dorf clears the forest for no particular reason, just to annoy the elves.

Thanks for the suggestion, but Number4 is correct: [...] it would be easier and more predictable to just be a racist.

Did somebody just rule 34 two veins of metal?

If there was a way to use coal to replace wind or water power, I'm sure that there would be people who'd insist on doing it.  As it is, there's no way to use non-green power sources for mechanical power.  Although I like to imagine that a properly built dwarven water reactor is somehow an abomination against nature that the elves would condemn if they understood.

I use magma for my forges, but I end up clear-cutting the forest anyway, to make pearlash for clear glass blocks and windows.
necrobump?

Nope. The actual necro was removed for... reasons.

A true dwarf uses magma to burn the land, boil the sea and build a killsat over the sky to take it away from those goddamn giant eagles.
