Talk:Fire-safe

From DwarfFortressWiki

There is a in-game distinction between fire-safe and magma safe. Apparently some stones are better at heat than others. Fire-safe are only meant for regular furnaces, not magma. (although magma resisting materials are also fire-safe, of course). That's why I linked to two separate pages. A suggestion could be to make a table of materials and check which one can withstand regular heat and which ones can withstand magma. Sergius 22:09, 31 October 2007 (EDT)

[edit] flux not fire safe?

I'm fairly sure flux is no longer considered fire-safe.

[edit] obsidian

im fairly sure this isnt fire safe, but someone else better double check before adding it. Twiggie 12:50, 24 September 2008 (EDT)

It is, all of my furnaces are made from obsidian. HeWhoIsPale 18:19, 27 September 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Ice constructions are firesafe, apparently.

According to the magmasafe page: "Constructions (Wall, Floor, Ramp, Stairs) can never melt or burn (there is nothing wrong with wooden magma reservoir). Natural ice walls/floors/ramps/stairs may melt however." --Xonara 10:39, 30 October 2008 (EDT)
