Talk:Lava

Moved the following notes off the Lava page - these need to be more specific or verified!

• A cart left on a lava tile seems to take 1 point of damage every 18 minutes.
• Animals will avoid walking over lava, but they can be led onto a lava tile--but will not receive any damage. This can be used to an advantage if a player is being chased by an aggressive animal.

• Most items indeed take 1 damage every 15 minutes, give or take a few minutes, on a lava tile. Can't guarantee this is true of all items, as I certainly haven't tried them all, but fences (and possibly buildings?) will take 1 damage every few seconds if they lie on some borders (will have to verify which) of the tile.
• Animals do seem to avoid walking on lava themselves. I can't guarantee it, but I did used to have a small island full of wild seals, with several erupted lava tiles, and I never noticed seals walking on the lava, or any corpses on the lava.
  • That said, animals definitely do take damage on lava! I haven't tried leading, but hitched animals take damage very quickly, presumably as quickly as players.

Bridges still taking dmg on sections that span lava tiles without "contacting"? --Klaa (talk) 15:48, 9 November 2018 (CET)
