**EDIT** THIS SHOULD BE LEVELS 120, 119 AND 118 Notice that each subsequent level is smaller than the previous one. Use the below picture to see which z-levels to channel on. If you designate everything at the same time, miners will just dig everything completely randomly like idiots, eventually creating a cave-in thus knocking your miners into comas. When 121 is done, THEN designate level 122. Now, dig channels on 3-levels under this area to create the box the water will be held in, BUT, designate level 120, and WHEN IT IS DONE, designate level 121. But we don’t have to worry about that, so…įirst, dig out the area behind the stockpile as follows. You need to either find rock to make a pond in, or line dirt with rock walls and floors. This is good! If you make a water source in dirt it has a chance of getting contaminated. Also, note that when we dig down, the entire pond area is made of rhyolite. This is water, so it makes sense to place it near consumables. We’re going dig our water source on the stockpile floor (and a few floors below it), behind the food stockpile. Holy crap that’s a lot of steps! We’re going to take this a bit at a time, and we’ll be done in no time. Placing activity zones over the water source.Deactivating the screw pump and closing the floodgate.Activating the screw pump and filling the pond.Linking a lever to the floodgate (and raising the floodgate).Channeling a passage from the well to the river.We’re going to create our indoor pond/water source using the following steps: If I broke this tutorial into skill sections, the intermediate segment begins here, SO LISTEN UP! >:| We’re going to fix that in this section by making an indoor water source, which uses many of the skills you have learned so far, like channeling and activity zones, but introduces some much more complicated skills, like building machinery and controlling water. There is one fatal flaw with that, however the water freezes over in the winter! If you’re dwarfs run out of booze in the winter, they’re either done for, or will be very, very thirsty come springtime. The temperature difference between the ice layer and the rock layer makes that the collapsed ice turns to drinkable water.We have plenty of water outside, and if you’ve been following along so far, you set the outside lake as a water source so dwarfs can drink from it. Why not use it to make water? Turns out you can do just that, by caving in a level of ice into a reservoir of the same size below. This means you have possibly tens of levels of ice sitting right above you. However, and as I stated earlier, without threat, Forgotten beasts are generally peaceful against buildings. This is how you would, with some degree of safety, operate a pump on the caverns. Pumps can generally pump water faster than what natural flow can replenish so the fortification's water level will remain below until you stop pumping and close the bridge.
As soon as the bridge opens, water comes through the fortification. The bridge is linked to a lever, that you first activate in order to keep the bridge closed. The first construction is a retracting bridge, the second is a fortification and on top is the pump. The setup you could employ would be the following: #
However, they only stop the passage of creatures while they are at a fluid level less than (which seems to be a bug). The best way to block the passage of any creature and still let water flow through is with carved Fortifications, as those behave like walls, in that they can't be destroyed. This means that, without some way to block them from entering, they can, given enough will (as without anything to gather their attention such as a dwarf, they will moan around the caverns), destroy any one of the pumps. Forgotten beasts, besides being building destroyers, appear to also be amphibious.
