liquids
=======
Allows adding magma, water and obsidian to the game. It replaces the normal
dfhack command line and can't be used from a hotkey. Settings will be remembered
as long as dfhack runs. Intended for use in combination with the command
``liquids-here`` (which can be bound to a hotkey). See also :issue:`80`.

.. warning::
Place magma, water or obsidian. See `gui/liquids` for an in-game interface for
this functionality.
Also, if you only want to add or remove water or magma from a single tile, the
`source` script may be easier to use.
Usage:
Spawning and deleting liquids can mess up pathing data and
temperatures (creating heat traps). You've been warned.
``liquids``
Start the interactive terminal settings interpreter. This command must be
called from the DFHack terminal and not from any in-game interface.
``liquids-here``
Run the liquid spawner with the current/last settings made in ``liquids``
(if no settings in ``liquids`` were made, then it paints a point of 7/7
magma by default). This command is intended to be used as keybinding, and it
requires an active in-game cursor.

.. warning::
`gui/liquids` is an in-game UI for this script.
Spawning and deleting liquids can mess up pathing data and temperatures
(creating heat traps). You've been warned.
Settings will be remembered until you quit DF. You can call `liquids-here` to execute
the last configured action, which is useful in combination with keybindings.
Interactive interpreter
-----------------------
Usage: point the DF cursor at a tile you want to modify and use the commands.
The interpreter replaces the normal dfhack command line and can't be used from a
hotkey. Settings will be remembered as long as dfhack runs. It is intended for
use in combination with the command ``liquids-here`` (which *can* be bound to a
hotkey).
If you only want to add or remove water or magma from one tile,
`source` may be easier to use.
You can enter the following commands at the prompt.

Run the liquid spawner with the current/last settings made in liquids (if no
