The water from level 1 being drained into level 2 will allow you to dig out the same array of up/down staircases as on level 1. | The water from level 1 being drained into level 2 will allow you to dig out the same array of up/down staircases as on level 1. | ||
Side note: using this technique, you can now expand levels 1 and 2 to any degree you want. You could even build your fortress inside the aquifer. | Side note: using this technique, you can now expand levels 1 and 2 to any degree you want. You could even build your fortress inside the aquifer. | ||
