* Note: Spikes take about twice as long as hatches or doors to respond to signals. Bridges are also slow. (I haven't tried floodgates, since doors are fast) | * Note: Spikes take about twice as long as hatches or doors to respond to signals. Bridges are also slow.

These gates use water for computing, but input and output signals are mechanical in nature (linked pressure plates etc). They require power and are constructed on top of (ideally) a murky pool, (non-pressurized) dwarf-made cistern, river, stream, brook, or aquifer. Each one uses one or two pumps only, so the power requirements are small. | These gates use water for computing, but input and output signals are mechanical in nature (linked pressure plates etc).
