" if you dig a hole in a wall diagonally to a water source, water can come spurting out even without you receiving a warning about damp stone." Is this true anymore? The dev notes for today's version (November 1st) mentioned making squares touching water diagonally get the damp marker as well. --BahamutZERO 15:51, 1 November 2007 (EDT)
26 directions
26 directions? Really? I've been digging out tiles UNDER bodies of water trapped in rock, much less diagonal to them along the z-axis, and I haven't run into any flooding problems yet.--Xazak 18:44, 3 November 2007 (EDT)
- If you dig a tunnel underneath a body of water, you retain the ceiling overhead. If you were to remove this ceiling (e.g. by digging a ramp of stairway upwards) then the water would certainly flow.
- It would, except digging a ramp doesn't remove the ceiling...in fact it's impossible to dig upwards into water. You can't designate anything on the water tile above, and nothing you do below removes the ceiling...I tried in vain, and was sorely dissapointed. 'Specially since Toady did it one of his movies. Let me know if you get it to work, though. --Turgid Bolk 14:10, 6 November 2007 (EST)
- Build an upward (or an up/down) staircase on a level below and designate a downward staircase on the level above. Downward staircase is essentially a modification of the floor (ceiling) into a hole with stairs. Water doesn't flow in 16 up/down+horizontal directions (doesn't flow up+horizontal under pressure). Be warned that digging directly below a lake or a river is safe despite "dump stone" warning but digging into stone directly below an aquafier is NOT safe.--Another 02:35, 4 December 2007 (EST)
Losing is fun
What would you say to moving the article to fun and making this one a redirect? VengefulDonut 18:29, 5 November 2007 (EST)
- That would be so funny! Don't know if it would gel with the rules, though. --Tarsier 19:53, 5 November 2007 (EST)
- Redirected fun to here. ;) --Turgid Bolk 14:12, 6 November 2007 (EST)
