OBSIDIAN FARM 🔅DWARF FORTRESS STEAM🔅
557Obsidian is one of the types of "stone" (technically volcanic glass) that forms entire layers. Obsidian is also found surrounding magma pools and volcanoes, exactly 1 tile thick, and has the distinction of being the only stone that can be created during play. Obsidian is considered an economic stone by default; in order to allow general use at workshops, and in architecture, you must enable "obsidian" in the stocks "Stone" menu. It is also notable in that it has the highest material value among non-ore stones and is also higher in value than some low-value ores like native copper.
"Obsidian" is also the twelfth month of the dwarven calendar, covering late Winter.
Obsidian farming is a method of producing obsidian efficiently. When magma contacts water, a tile of unworked obsidian spawns on the meeting point and both fluids disappear from that tile. Obsidian is a moderately-valuable stone and both magma and water are renewable, resulting in a theoretically infinite supply of mid-value stone goods.
Obsidian can be formed by mixing water and magma. Any tiles containing both water and magma will be replaced with unmined obsidian, generating abundant amounts of steam. When dumping water via a pond zone onto magma, the water has to fall free for at least one z-level (i.e. the pond zone must be two or more z-levels above the magma); otherwise only steam will be produced. The formation of obsidian will not affect the light level.
Most non-magma-safe objects that were in the magma prior to the formation of obsidian are completely destroyed, which can be an effective method of removing unwanted items or enemies, although long exposure times to magma are suggested to ensure destruction. All magma-safe items will be entombed in the tile, and can be regained by mining it along with any magma-unsafe items that happened to survive the casting process. No instances of globs of molten metal surviving obsidian formation have been noted, though apparently burning objects can remain on fire when cast in obsidian. The survival rate of magma-unsafe items is believed to depend on the exposure time to magma being short enough to not cause the item in question to melt or burn before obsidian formation occurs—fragile items placed in water that is then exposed to magma tend to survive casting unscathed. Creatures cast in obsidian die, even without significant exposure to magma. Creatures in cages will survive the casting process, though they may still die from exposure to the extreme temperature of magma.
Obsidian farming can be used to produce large amounts of obsidian for masonry, crafting, or construction.
