Suddenly, Lava Fountain!
« on: November 03, 2011, 01:40:47 am »
I was exploring around a house and came across this interesting bedroom:

I'm not sure if this could be called a bug or not.

On one hand lava doesn't belong in bedrooms.

On the other hand the idea of having a lava fountain in a bedroom is a certain kind of badass.  :D

Haha, that's my map. Not really a bug, the tile for water in the map editor is a water/lava tile and the game chooses the correct one depending on the location. I had a swimming pool full of lava in one room.

Not very practical, what if the lava fountain has a leak and you get reduced to ash in your sleep? :o

That must have been the cause of the calamity, too many fools installing lava fountains in their bedrooms. They said it was the next big thing...but now look at the mess they've got themselves in!

Way better than a lava lamp.

I really don't like how liquid tiles look when used like that and lava in general looks more like a solid plane than lava.

I think there are relatively few things more dwarven than having a lava fountain in your bedroom.
