Dang, it's not working.

I'll spoil it for you: they suffered MASSIVE casualties and only just broke ONE of the sieges, having to retreat leaving the dead and dying behind.

Some dwarves didn't even make a single kill. The battle reports show dwarves losing their hands in combat despite their masterwork Adamantium gauntlets.

Can you mine through the rock you've dropped on the aquifer?

I'd heard that wood worked fine provided that the lava doesn't touch the back of the pump (obviously not!).

What's odd, though, is that I have other pumps on the map set up to pump magma that, until recently, pumped without complaint. I think maybe if the rate of magma being pumped is too high it burns wood pumps.

Tried this myself. Can confirm that it is indeed bugged.

I'm thinking of testing whether it's the same as salt water, and if the trick of using pumps to desalinate it will work

[40d] Magma Burning Wooden Pump

I heard conflicting reports that you could or could not pump magma with a pump made of wood. It sounded plausible to me, because I'd thought I'd read about it being done in some community fort, and it made sense with the way that other buildings in the game are ok with magma as long as they're not submerged.
But I wanted to try it for myself, just to be sure.
It turned out that the wooden pump quickly caught fire when used to pump magma, even though it was never submerged.
So much for that theory.

This experiment was performed in Dwarf Fortress 0.28.181.40d. - Kanddak
