Lava Tile Freezing

Recommended Posts

found on the wiki:

 

Over time, lava can freeze naturally, but has a smaller chance to spread to neighboring tiles instead.

 

Would like some clarification / statistics on this statement based on what the game code is saying if possible thanks!

Oh hey! I wrote that!

 

In my experience, it may spread to multiple tiles at once (when and if it does spread, that is). I'll try to poke around the code in Wurm Unlimited to see if I can dredge up anything more specific.

Just some random personal experience. I found it more likely to spread if more than one lava tile, 3 together it seems more likely to spread but only very small sample of experience to judge it from.

It looks like the chance of freezing naturally is 1/30, and if that doesn't happen, the chance for it to spread is 1/40. I'm not sure how often it's checked, though; it's every time the tile is polled, however often that is.

 

I'm not sure how many tiles it affects at once, but in my experience, when it spreads it seems to spread to multiple surrounding tiles.
