The Flispians go about constructing their cities and buildings in a peculiar manner. If there is a large enough strip of land without lava, they will merely build it up as any race would. However, when constructing over lava, they make Hover Platforms. These have exactly the specifications of the building to be constructed. They are built and sent out over the lava. They work via heat extraction, so they never run out of energy and rarely fail. In case they do fail, they float on the lava for a short time, allowing the building to be salvaged. When an entire city is in place, there are personal HoverShoes. These go over a Flispian's feet, and work just like the platforms. A Flispian wearing shoes can comfortably walk across lava, at a height equal to the platforms. In the rare event that THESE fail, the Flispian merely gets a lava bath and must buy new shoes.
