The same 20 dwarves combust and die due to blood loss if I turn on temperature. At first I thought their armor was somehow heated, so I removed them from the military. They still combust, regardless of being naked and in a different spot from where they caught fire before. Neither are they covered in any substances that might cause such behavior. I assume that means they themselves are somehow hot. I've played with DFHack, but don't remember doing anything that may have caused such behavior. I do remember my military dwarves being caught in fire clowns' flames, but I didn't have temperature enabled at the time (Gotta push that FPS).

I've managed to prevent the combustion by giving dwarves [FIXED_TEMP:10067]. However, upon saving and removing the tag they did combust as before. I will try letting them walk around with FIXED_TEMP for a while longer in hopes they will somehow lose the magical heat and test again later.

Apparently, dwarves who walk through magma with temperature off will exhibit this behavior.

Fire clown flames may have the same effect.

This is completely off-topic, but I just realized your signature was a homestuck reference.

So, any way to fix this permanently, without making my dwarves immune to all things hot?

Have them take a bath in water, and then while they're bathing turn temperature back on?
Won't that put out the fire right away, and result in minimal injuries?

Yes. Don't let dorfs walk through magma with the temperature off.

Strangely enough, this hasn't produced desirable results. They still died, without any steam, standing in 3/7 water.

Do it again, but bathe them in magma this time.

Excuse me, did the burning dwarfs path through magma/get hit with fire clown flame while temp was off?

Yes, they were hit with clown flame while temp was off.

Looks like that's the cause. Well, they're screwed. Leave temperature off if they're irreplaceable, strip them of their gear and make them die somewhere safe if they're not.

Train them up in swimming, dump them in a pit with 7/7 water, turn temp on, and hope for the best. If they are no longer !!dwarves!!, channel out the edge of the pit and continue with your business.

Yeah, flame clowns have absurd temperatures- above that of magma. I doubt water will work.

I've not ever made any catapults/atom smashers before, but I think...
You should build a bridge, station them all onto it, then pull a lever to raise it just as a goblin siege arrives. >:D
