[edit] Where volcanoes form...? (verify)
The statement about volcanoes forming around the edge of oceans looks wrong to me. I was unaware of any such trend on the worlds I've seen so far. As I understand it, there is a magma activity map that varies across the the world and 'peaks' at certain points in the terrain creating volcanoes. I don't know how toady has implemented that, but I'm sure it has nothing to do with the rims of oceans. --Markavian
[edit] Cavern collapse
Is not related to the generation of water above magma and instant crystallisation and collapse. Because I got that phenomenon when I settled at an extinct volcano (no magma present in pipe). --Juckto 07:35, 29 June 2008 (EDT)
[edit] Erupting volcanoes
It would appear that volcanoes can now erupt http://mkv25.net/dfma/movie-685-volcano#lastComment;?%3E Diabl0658 03:19, 24 July 2008 (EDT)
- Nope, that's just a (somewhat) common bug where a volcano and a bottomless pit are generated on the same spot. Here's another video of the same bug, where the poor dwarves embarked right next to the lava. http://mkv25.net/dfma/movie-701-shortestfortever Spoggerific 15:33, 12 August 2008 (EDT)
[edit] Draining a volcano
I had read that magma tiles were supposed to be sources of magma.
So I am a bit suprised that having dug (admittedly a quite large) room in the bottom z-level then opened it up to the magma pipe, I have drained the top five z-levels of my volcano.
It has been several seasons now. I am wondering will the volcano pipe fill back up or have I drained it permenantly?
