Please remove lava from town

Just fumble fingered in town, into lava. Dead. No "are you sure?", no 2nd chances just dead.

This is anti-fun.

Can we please remove lava from town? OR add a confirm prompt?

There should be a confirm prompt, unless you are confused. Can you give more detail about what exactly happened?

On another note regarding lava, I noticed giant bats won't cross it in hallways. But given that they can fly, I would have thought they'd be able to cross it.

The temperature of lava at the height where bats fly is probably still a good thousand degrees...

Started new game, walked into lava, got a confirm prompt, and it only worked with "y" no way around it.

It's quite possible I just missed it, but I'll be honest it doesn't feel like I did.

Sorry, I have no repro steps and it looks safe.

Thanks for hearing me out, despite being very wrong

Are you using the roguelike keys and were you trying to move northwest using "y"? I think it's possible to accidentally confirm by just using a movement direction in this way.

Yes, you must be right, as I'm using roguelike keys. Good diagnosis, and now I can understand my mistake.

Still a little less safe then, using roguelike keys. I wonder if there's anything I can do here to change the confirm prompt to require something other than `y`?

the prompt often doesnt work, with *having just come out of the dungeon* being one of the most common culprits.
