Here is the first working floor. The big room on the left is the evaporation chamber, it deals with the excess water generated by the trap. On the right there are pumps that pump water out of the killing floor through fortifications. You'll notice there is an ice floor/roof over the killing floor, this is what is left behind when melting unsmoothed ice walls with magma. |

On the left you can see the water reservoir and the floodgates that hold it's water back until necessary. There are fortifications to protect the floodgates and another load of fortifications on the right which the pumps above pump water through. They might seem unnecessary but I cant let the water freeze under the pumps without it breaking the system. On the far right there is some plumbing, the pumps above pump water down through these tiles. |
