Summary0005778: Water/lava too deep
DescriptionThere's a particular room type (Small*OverPool, I think) which has water or lava that can be fallen into. This is just too deep to jump out of, which makes it an immediate death sentence -- far too harsh a punishment for missing a jump.

Before the warp changes in 0.574, it was possible to warp out of this situation. I think it may be possible to escape acid water by placing a platform beneath the surface and riding it up as it floats, but this doesn't seem to work in lava.

Water and lava work the same in terms of buoyancy. You can't ride wood platforms up in either: but you can place one, jump on, then place another, etc. You can place crates and ride them up, but it will be pretty slow.

I was unable to place a platform at all under the lava. Nevertheless, at 20% health per tick, there's very little time to mess about trying to find a way to escape before dying.

Can this particular room type be made one tile shallower to allow us to jump onto a platform placed just above the water/lava? It'll still be dangerous, but won't be a near-certain death sentence.

I'm willing to look at the room map and see if changes can/should be made, but, I'm not sure what room you are talking about. Can you send me either a screenshot of the room with the map in the upper left corner? Or a world file with you in the room so I can see it?

I don't have a world handy, but I'm pretty sure it was GenericSmallishRoom/Doors5/SmallOverPool.txt. GenericSmallishRoom/Doors10/SmallishOverPool.txt seems to have even deeper liquid in it, but I remember lava-free gaps between the platforms.

Thanks.

Ok, thanks. I'll look into this.

I died to this again today. Since you can place platforms in water, it's only a problem when you get lava in these rooms instead.

For .577
* Changed a couple rooms so that falling in lava in these rooms wasn't an automatic death sentence.
